Regular Season - Sim 32

Took an easy win against Toronto. Parsons had a season high 30, Kevin Love had his typical double double, Ben McLemore had 18, even Gary Neal even had 11. Not getting too excited though, Raps have only won 3 games this year, so this was a game we expected to win. The team didn't even play that well anyway, changes still forthcoming.

Portland up next, who we've beaten twice this year already to give them 2 of their 9 losses.

A win against Dallas 119-90. It's almost the same story as the last game where Kemba and Josh leading the charge. Just amazing stats from the two.

Kemba - 35pts 9rebs 7asts 5stls
Josh - 23pts 11rebs 9asts 2stls 2blks - almost a triple-double.

Paul and Nene are a "no show" in 2 games but it hardly mattered it seems...

A loss on the road against the Clipps. DeMar could not take care of the ball at all, 10 turnovers. Same with Mayo, 5 turnovers for him. That's not good.

W vs. NYK

This was a high scoring game, we barely got past the Knicks. Rubio had 27/2/17 and continues to make a case for MVP. Barnes had 20 and Hibbert put up 25/6/5 and fouled out Mcgee.

Bosh struggled with Cousins who had his best game of the season with 53/15/2 w/ 5 stls & 3 blks. He turned it over twice.

We pass Chicago in the win column and play them next for 2nd in the conference.

Next up Harden Iguodala and the Rockets vs Ricky Rubio and the New York Knicks

Win @ NO – 125-102
WOWWOWOWOW big win on the road at NO Titans. Lillard came out strong with 30/10. LMA fouled out in 17 mins but still sored 19 points. Henson filled in nicely with 15/10 and 4 blocks. Bradley had 17 in 21 mins and Beasley had 14 in 19 mins. We shot 60% from the field and 84% from the line but only 25% from three. We also had 19 TOs which is very high for us but we grabbed 11 more boards and with such high shooting % it was too much even for NO. For the Pelicans – Smart played well with 24 and Landry scored 19. Davis struggled with fouls all game and Jordan only had 2 boards. 42% from the floor as a team

Walked in and beat the new look Thunder by 15 points on their court. Melo took over with 43 points and 8 boards on only 19 shots and they had no answer for our offense as we shot 51% as a team.

3.5 games ahead of the Bulls and Hawks for top team in the East still.

L: New York Knicks 129 @ 133 Atlanta Hawks
Ricky Rubio: 27 points, 17 asists, 3 steals
Chris Bosh: 23 points on 8/12 shooting in 26 minutes

What an epic game in Atlanta between this two teams.
The Hawks, guided by Cousins (53 points) and Hibbert (25), started the game strong, winning the first 3 quarters for a 85-102 lead at the start of the first quarter.
But guided by Ricky, the Knicks didn't give up, and a 44-31 4th quarter effort nearly gave us the road win. But Rubio got fouled out at the end of the 4th quarter, in a still controversial call, and with him out to distribute we forced an missed our last possessions.

Bosh had a decent night the 26 minutes he played, going for 8/12 from the field and to the line 7 times for 23 points. It's strange he didn't play more, as he only committed 3 PF. Meanwhile, with McGee fouled out and Bosh only playing 26, both Ezeli and Anthony had to play 15 minutes each.

So despite all the problems, I'm proud of this team, as we shot 62.2% from the field, and 61.1% from 3PT, in order to overcome all the foul trouble we were having, and keep fighting for the game till the end.
With the absence of post play, Rubio also picked up the scoring for us, stepping up as always when needed in key games, and finishing with 27 points on a 12/19 shooting night, including 3/4 from 3PT. He also dished 17 asists, and forced Lowry to 8 TOs.

Memphis 87 @ Charlotte 134

Hornet Honors
Amare Stoudemire - 33 points on 81.2% shooting, 11 rebounds
AJ Price - 23 points on 66.6% shooting, 6 assists
Goran Dragic - 18 points, 10 assists

An expected win for us over the Grizzlies.  This gets us back to one game below .500, need to find a way to break the guys out of this cycle.  Although most might think it makes sense to cash in at this point and fight for a better draft pick, we have our eyes set solidly on the playoffs.  A winning culture is the best culture, and the experience our players gain with postseason games is invaluable.

vs. Boston - W - 108-102

A nice home win against a pesky Celtics team. Faried had a good showing, dropping 20 points and 12 rebounds-- notching his 22nd double-double this season. Teague provided another scoring punch with 19 and the youngsters Anderson and Harrison chipped in 6 assists a piece, which was great to see.

Only good news for the Raptors is that Plumlee is only 16 days off returning. Development time equals more losses.

Yeah, Dylan is of course the commish Dylan and Rizzo sims are always up to speed so I know it's not him.

Trying to figure out who Jace is. Thx for the reply and yeah it must be SS.

May be better for Jace if he is SS to put Sim Time: (Today's Date) instead of a time as it's usually not anywhere near the posted time I do however appreciate the volunteering to sim.

I realize things come up, that's life would be great to get a courtesy post as to timeframe etc to updated sim time.

I like sim leagues.

I took sim for him, so don't blame SS, blame me. SS does incredible work for us. He's a huge part of why the league runs smoothly.

Only real bad thing of not simming at the right time is that most of the times the sim is postponed till morning on the other day.. Then there is very little time to set any DC adjustments if needed, specially for me because I don't have the game at mornings or noons and usually I'm not home by sim time so I can't change anything.. And I think it is not only my problem..

But yeah, appreciate the effort of the commishs to sim and maintain that daily sim schemes. I've already own a sim league (using FBB) and I know how hard it is to sim one day.. I did sims twice a week because the work was too much.. Simming every day means the work is a lot bigger. And real life comes first, no doubt. Impossible to say something bad for those who're spending their own free time with the sim so we can have a little bit more of fun (or not, depends on the results LOL) every night!

No one to blame Dylan. You guys do a really amazing job, we can only try to show how much we appreciate it by participating and writing and showing we really care! I can only say thank you, really appreciate your effort!
