3-4, but we actually played better than that. Baker and Kaman are pretty sick.

2-3.
The problem is a simple one to fix - we tried to go with an inside focus, and while Desmond, Mihm and Kandi absolutely adored me for it, RJ and Theo thought I was an asshole. So we'll go back to balanced and also press a slight amount more to see if we can't get Dez's steals back up to where they were last season. It's my fault for trying to make RJ a player who could fit into an inside scoring system instead of letting the offense be built around him.
However, some really promising stuff here. My frontcourt looks pretty formidable. Kandi gets in a lot of foul trouble, has difficulty staying on the floor, but he's improved upon his awful turnovers from last year and is playing well for not being an option. Mihm was a beast, but he obviously enjoyed the inside focus, I expect his numbers to go down.
Theo, RJ and Dez all turn the ball over like crazy. Trying to run a slow offense to combat that ... but it's not working just yet. Hopefully they'll all pick it up. Outside of the TOs and not getting to shoot too much in the inside offense, Theo was pretty sick. Desmond didn't get the touches he usually does, but his percentages were unreal. RJ was crap - hopefully he'll rebound with the balanced offense.
C - Michael Olowokandi: 14.6 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 1.4 BPG, 44.1 FG%
PF - Chris Mihm: 19.4 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 2.0 BPG, 43.8 FG%
SG - Desmond Mason: 21.4 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 3.6 APG, 54.8 FG%
PG - Theo Papaloukas: 10.4 PPG, 10.6 APG, 4.6 RPG, 2.0 SPG, 51.4 FG%, 91.7 FT%, 50.0 3P%

2-4, not completely unexpected. House is a scoring PG,Bosh may not be strong enuff for C right now, probably gonna have to play him at PF. Dont know what to do with Murphy,he's too solid to sit on the bench. May look into moving him.
Dixon can still shoot lights out. Gonna try and get a more rounded SG there and bring him off the bench where he should thrive. Hell he's really not bad starting.

Eh, 4-5 sim for us....played a lot of solid playoff teams. Need to make some changes to the DC to try and stay around the .500 mark.

3-6. meh. Sim started off pretty shitty but we managed to get a few wins in the second half of the sim. Defense is actually pretty damn solid, we just have no offense. I think if we had a nice scorer we could be a 500 team, and probably make the playoffs.
Barnes had some good shooting percentages off the bench I may start him and see how that works. Krstic numbers are solid, blocking 1.5 shots, 50% fg
Pietrus in 13 minutes has 1.3 spg.
Fisher doing a solid job running the point.

4-1 sim. It's a nice way to start, but I didn't love it at all. I pretty much never run with no press/trap, and I think it hurt me a little bit because they got too many possessions, even though they didn't shoot it well at all. My defensive percentages are pretty great, but I still gave up 96 PPG which I'd like to see go down a bit.
Offensively, we turned it over a little more than I'd like to, but it's just one sim, I don't see that happening to that extent again. Maybe tweak the DC, we'll see.
Kobe/Baron are beasts, and it's really nice to have that inside scorer who can torch teams if I need it. Dalembert started off slow for me, but he came on strong the last few games. Looks like my RC bumped him up to B- inside, which is sick. I'll take the wins, but I wasn't overly impressed by any means. NOH looks tough, Zo is a beast.

I've never seen anyone average so many points per game with such a low FG%. That's a really strange statline.

Pau/Diaw/Terry are averaging 33 PPG compared to T-Mac's 31. Similar production.

Mason is averaging 21 PPG on 55% shooting to J-Rich's 11 PPG on 43% shooting.
Similar there too.

Pau Gasol - 12.0 PPG, 29.6 FG% ... yikes. He had an absolutely awful sim. I've decided to eliminate him as an option, run an outside offense and see how it goes |

I still maintain that J-Rich has a lot of potential, although this was a big TC for him and he failed it. Regardless, at the time of the deal I'd have taken his expected potential over Mason because CJ was looking for a young project, otherwise he wouldn't have dealt off Ben in the first place. You were completely off comparing the Ben deal to aar's proposal for T-Mac. |

One thing about your team that I love is that there MIGHT be a chance that we've FINALLY created a stud RJ. He always blows. I've been complaining about this for years. I'd just love it if he became a stud in this league. |

You were completely off comparing the Ben deal to aar's proposal for T-Mac. I disagree, obviously. I was willing to bank on Pau and Diaw having a lot more potential than they did this TC as well. It is pretty much the exact same situation. And like I said previously, if you really expected J-Rich to have that much potential after his previous two TCs and his performance numbers wise, then you're foolish. How long do you think we can argue about this for? |
