Regular Season - Sim 23

Good win on the road against the Bobcats. A high-scoring game were we put up 140 points to their 125.

CHI 103 - 117 OKC

A huge win at home against one of the best teams in the league. Must say I was very worried about that game, but we did a great job defending their team.
-> Gosh how efficient were Howard and PG? combined for 17-24 shooting in route for 37 points combined. That's a 70,9% of FGs split between both, with Howard scoring on 77% of his shots. Amazing. D12 added 16 boards and PG24 6 assists and 3 boards.
-> Kemba was a man among boys. Top scorer with 25 points on 50% FG and 9-10 FTs. Even added 6 assist to 2 TOs, and limited Rose scoring to just 14 points. Great job young fella.
-> 17/6 and 4 assists to Al Jef off the bench. In only 27 minutes.
-> Bullock with a really bad game with 3-11 FG and 1-63pts, but that happens when you're so young like this kid is.
-> LITTLE NATE 5-5 on 3s in 12 minutes. good for 15 points without a single miss. That's why I love this little boy. Nate the great!

Both teams shot remarkable high FG% on a slow-paced game. We managed to get the win and improve to 16-10. Gotta continue to improve though. And there are still changes to be made.

L vs. NOP

Cousins won the matchup with Davis handily but Marcus Smart went off for 38 points and did a good job defensively on Parker. Harrellson/Pavlovic played a combined 35 minutes but actually had good games so I can't complain. 

Next up LAL. From Smart to Westbrook. Great.

Road game against Utah for the first game of a wholly new lineup is a tough ask, so no surprise here. Some encouraging signs, though - We dropped 97 on a defense that averages 85.5/game and shot 47.9% against a team that allows 40.7. And 41.8% from 3 point line when they normally allow 33.7. Bad news is the 21 turnovers playing a major role in our deficit, but that will improve with time.

We were also hurt by Porter only playing 19 minutes due to foul trouble. Still things to work on, but we're already looking a lot better overall.

I'm drunk, but we lost to Miami. Fuck.

W: Cleveland Cavaliers 109 @ 138 New York Knicks
Ricky Rubio: 18 points, 12 asists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals
Chris Bosh: 29 points in 33 mins
JaVale McGee: 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks in 31 mins

Another great high scoring game for the Knicks.
The first quarter already decided the match, as we starter really strong to end the quarter with 15-40 (+25) in the scoreboard.

Bosh and McGee both made huge damange in the Cavs frontcourt, and Rubio produced another of his near triple-doubles.

Beat the new look Kings at home behind Melo and Knight. Shot really well overall to get us that win.

I actually thought we had a chance to win this at home but even though we still have some talent, the strategies must be so wrong it's not funny. No way are we a 2 win team with this lineup but we'll keep plugging away and try and find the right mix I guess.
