Regular Season - Sim 44

Well, in the final game before Marc Gasol arrives, we shot 37% from the field and lost to the Nuggets.

Let's just hope Marc Gasol is our savior.

Not sure how salaries don't match up for Warriors-Cavaliers. I put the trade in the game and said it worked salary-wise ?

The rule is 1.5x + $100,000 for non-luxury tax teams. I'm not sure how you "put it in the game", but (1.5 x Wilcox's salary) + $100,000 =/= Enes Kanter's salary.

When you enter the trade in DDS, click offer trade...the game will tell you what fits salary-wise and I was under the impression it was equivalent to the actual rule ?

Seems I forgot to set my depth chart after Parker's injury. As a result Sebastian Telfair played way too much, resulting in Rubio torching us, causing us to lose by 5 to the Knicks, despite 56 from Lebron. Lebron has 50, 54, 46, and 56 in his last 4 games.

Honestly, I have no idea about that, I didn't even know that existed. But I guess it's wrong, somehow.

Closer win than expected against the Grizzlies, but we're now the #5 pick if the draft were to be held today, having passed up Toronto, Boston, Memphis, and Orlando. Next up on our list - Sacramento and Dallas.

Go by what the CBA says, not what the game says. The game has so many bugs to it that you never know when it's right or wrong. Just do the math manually to see if it's good or not. When you do the math, it's very far off.

Got a win against the Lakers in Gasol's last game, only to lose Teague for 2 weeks. Poop.

Mayo continues to shoot very effeciantly, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists on 7-11 shooting. DeMar also had 20 points and 6 rebounds. Teague had 17 points, 9 assists on 8-14 shooting. George Hill came off the bench for 14 points, West was close to a double double with 11 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. Gasol with the opposite, 9 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocked shots. DJ Cooper, nice surprise off the bench with 8 points. We took better care of the ball, forced our way to the free throw line...just more agressive.

3 wins in a row against Brooklyn, OKC, and now the Lakers.

W vs. OKC

I guess our bigs took this personally, Cousins had 32/20 w/ 2 blks and former Thunder center Hibbert had 21/16 w/ 3 blks vs Howard (who also had a big game with 24/17 on 9-28). Lawson played through injury and had a bad scoring game but at least he put up 8 assists and shut down Deron for the most part. Thabo completely took George out of the game.

We were +22 on the boards and won by 10 on the road, next up is DEN.

No extended comments for this game. Brewer out and Nene banged up, well, I knew this one was to going to be difficult mainly because of that. They dominated on the interior and Cousins took fully advantage of his matchup agains Diaw for extended minutes.
But, heck, you know things are not right when Howard takes 4 (four!!!!) 3pt attempts.

At least something positive, a little rest which allows us to get back at 100-Brewer%.

Tough loss against GSW.. Kanter had a good game against us.. lately Evan Turner has been doing every thing for us. Well on to the next like always. Still pushing for that playoff spot!

What.the.hell? Dwight 0-4 3PTA's?

Big Roy and Big Cuz must've forced Dwight into the high HIGH post in the offense lol.

Roy was pissed he got traded over Dwight, too.

I'm gonna consider this game another one of PB3's bugs LOL
Just kidding nice game by the Hawks, we'll bounce back next time!

Loss in Portland. At least we put up a fight as we only beaten by 12 at their home.

So...I take the total salary Cavs send out...multiply it by 1.5

Then that has to be equal or greater than Kantner's salary ?

Win against Wizards.

Big game of Wes Matthews but the key was David Lee, 19 pts and forced Giffin's fouled out. Now, we are in the 8th place tie with Cavs.

Win vs LAC - 85-97

Great defensive game as both teams shot less that 43% from the field and 30% from downtown. Aldridge led all scorers with 34 and 12 boards. Lillard had 16 and 10 assists and Henson finished with 12/7 and 2 blocks. We were outrebounded badly by 13 but we committed 10 less TOs and attempted 14 more FTs. For Clip Paul finished with a triple double 21/11/11 with 9 TOs

W: New York Knicks 113 @ 108 Indiana Pacers
Ricky Rubio: 30 points, 9 asists, 6 rebounds
Chris Bosh: 26 points

Another epic comeback (Indy leaded by 25!) to win by 5 on the road, despite LeBron's 56 point performance!

Pacers started Stephenson in place of injured Parker, with Telfair backing him up. And it worked for the first half of the game, with the home team leading 45-67 (+22). The lead even got to +25, but Bosh scored a buzzer beater three from near midcourt to reduce the distance before going to the locker, and bring some hope.

And it did, as the second half it changed dramatically. With his teammates but Bosh unable to score tonight, Rubio stepped up for us scoring 30 points with a 12/18 shooting game. Helped by that, the second half ended with a 68-41 (+27) for the visiting Knicks, and the comeback was completed on the road.

With this win our winning streak increases to 12 in a row now.

No games this sim.

Barely scraped by the Bobcats for the win at home. Some slight changes need to be made for us since we haven't been playing well lately.
