Notes:
HOU - Every single roster edit was already made - so not sure why you bolded everything. Only thing that changed was your offense.

1-1 sim both on the road. We lost to the Rockets by 10 then beat Memphis by 42.

Good game Willy.

@ SS: I bolded it because the thread I originally put it in I actually didn't play that sim so had no idea if it was input.

Good game to you as well rhoxxy (haven't looked at boxscores yet).

We lost to the Lakers....that's just sad.

When both teams are healthy, we are a better team than you post Curry trade.

How's that "sad"?

We beat the Heat. Granted it's not the same team, but still an important win.

SAN ANTONIO 101 - 124 OKLAHOMA CITY

Another win at home, and we're now on a 3 game winning streak.
I think this was one of our better offensive performances of the season. I mean, our offense shared the ball really well, 5 players over double digits, and nice percentages. Still lots to improve defensively. Maybe we're too aggressive which is leading to lots of free throws for our opponents, but this time Brewer and Jefferson had 5 fouls and played almost their normal minutes, so nothing to complain.

THE GOOD:
-> 31 assits to 7 turnovers. We were really in need of improving our passing and taking care of the ball. Guess that's coming along with time, our A/TO ratio as a team is improving.
-> Howard was DOMINANT against a great shot-blocking front court. Fouled out both Udoh and Davis (43 minutes combined) on his way to 22 FTs (missed 12 of them LOL). 32/12/6 for him.
-> Deron has been a great addition. Always under control, that time with 20 pts, 7 assists and 0 TOs.
-> Bullock / Brewer off the bench. Great production in limited time and touches. Exactly what I need from them.

THE BAD:
-> Paul George did not have a bad game. But.. Only 8FGA.. Guess I need to adjust sub-matrix so he can play more time with our 2nd unit and lead them at scoring. Still, 7 rebs, 7 asts, great defense and 1 TO.. Good game by him.

Improving but not able yet to pass HOU and LAL on standings. Still we're in PO position and that's what matters.

Win vs CHA – 100-117
Solid home win. Lillard did not shoot well but still had 37/13/8. Henson scored 21 off the bench with 3 blocks and LMA had 14/8. We shot poorly from the three – 29% only but had 16 TOs less that Charlotte. For Cha MKG had 21/6/14 and Amare had 14/11. Off now to a 3 game West trip

Well Westbrook, Beal, and Horford are all hurt IIRC.

We beat Denver at home behind a combined 58 points from Danny Granger and Chandler Parsons. Love had a double double and we forced them to shoot 40%.

Next up LeBron and the Pacers come to town.

Indy came to town and Brandon Knight fell 2 assists short of a triple double with 26 points, 11 boards, and 8 assists on 12 of 19 shooting as we smashed Indy by 38 points. Melo did his thing with 29 points and 9 boards and 6 guys scored in double figures.

We losses on the road vs brooklin 51% in fg but only 15 free shoots. A lot of fauls and turnovers on the road curry destroy us
New orleans is a leader with 30-8 balance second place utah 29-9 portland 28-9 and clippers 28-10. We can't fail other teams are strong. Utah- new orleans and porland vs utah and new orleans direct games will be determinants finally in conference.

Lost to the Spurs on the road. We have way to much trouble taking care of the ball. Turnovers kill us badly.

25-point win over atlanta, followed by a 38 point loss to Detroit.

Lebron actually struggled in the Atlanta win only managing 24 points. Demarcus Cousins (34/16) had his way with Dirk, but Greg Stiemsma completely smothered Roy Hibbert going for 4 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 blocks in 33 minutes and holding Hibbert to 5-20 shooting. Lance Stephenson and Tony Parker were also solid in the 109-84 win.

Then the next night we lost 136-98 to Detroit. Despite Lebron going off for 44, we were pounded on the boards, turned it over too much, and allowed the Pistons to shoot 60%. Melo had 29/9, while Brandon Knight was two assists off a triple-double with 26/11/8.

We've now dropped 6 of our last 7 games, but all the games we've played lately were on the road very good teams, so I'm not too terribly concerned yet.

W: Philadelphia 91 @ New York Knicks 123
Ricky Rubio: 18 points, 11 asists,3 rebounds, 3 steals
Chris Bosh: 28 points
JaVale McGee: 11 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks
Jeremy Lamb: 17 points (7/11) in 25 minutes

Solid 32 point win against the division rival 76ers.
McGee did a great job againt Bynum, with 11 points without miss to go with 13 rebounds and 5 blocked shots to slow the big fella down. Meanwhile Ersan couldn't hold Bosh back, as he fouled out in just 10 minutes.

Best game for Lamb since coming from Memphis. The young fella went for 17 points in 25 minutes off the bench, sowhing the first glances of the scoring punch I think he can be for us off the bench. We expect more games like this from him in the near future.

5th win in a row for us, and 8-2 in the last 10, to keep fighting for the 2nd seed in the east, just half game behind the Bulls.
