First of all, Skillz needs to STFU because every post quoting Samardo Sammuel's stat line kills me a little but inside. However, I am very pleased with how we are travelling at the moment and would still do the Artest deal now if I had the chance too. Bynum was injured for most of this sim which is why our positive record surprised me. We played 9 games in the space of 10 games and finished up 6-3, a nice enough result. If you check out the best 2 performers for every game, you'll see that 7 different players have stared for us. Thats one thing that I love about this team, you never know whos going to step up and play wel. L v ChicagoYi: 27, 15 and 8 Artest: 16, 7 and 6 W v PortlandDixon: 22 and 8 Artest: 11, 10 and 8 W v Golden StateArtest: 37 and 5 Collison: 17, 11 and 5 L v DetroitDavis: 19 and 8 Daniels: 16, 8 and 3 W v MiamiMonroe: 16, 18 and 4 Yi: 16 and 12 W v San AntonioMonroe: 25, 18 and 6  Artest: 20, 6 and 4 W v ClippersDavis: 30 and 8 Yi: 24 and 16 L v IndianaDavis: 26 and 2 Bynum: 16, 17, 7 and 4 W v PhoenixBynum: 24 and 17 Davis: 23 and 4 |

Really happy with my 3-2 sim. I had four extremely tough games (WAS, NYK, LAL, @ LAL) and wanted a split which I got. Then I had to beat Philly in Philly, which I did. I beat the Wizards and Knicks, both in my division. Sick. Nanz just flat-out has a better team than I do so I don't really care that he beat me. Closer look: Game 1: 110-109 win vs. Washington. Would have sucked to lose this one and had a 2-3 sim. Oden went for 31 and 10 with 4 blocks on 10/17 shooting (he sucks). Redd had 30. Paul went for 17 and 15. Luke Walton continues to play well off of the bench. I guess he isn't a starter. Great sub. Game 2: Lost to the Lakers 124-107. Oden went 21/15/5 blocks but shot poorly. They hit too many threes. Game 3: Beat Philly 106-93 in Philly. Paul had 30, 11, 6, with 6 steals on 12/18 shooting. Yee. Oden had 21 and 6 with 4 blocks. Walton went for 9 and 6 in 15 minutes. I really like my Jackson/Walton combo at the 3. Not stars but they get it done, and don't get torched. Game 4: Beat the Knicks 112-106 at home. Oden had 32 and 11. Redd had 27. Paul had 17/13/6, turned it over too much though. Game 5: Lost to the Lakers. Oden had 16 and 17 with 5 blocks. Really solid 3-2 sim, putting me at 19 and 11. I actually have a better winning % after my trade than before, and I couldn't be more optimistic about my Paul/Oden future. It'll be interesting to see who plays along side them each year and if you can add to your core or you just sign random FAs every year. I was just looking at CLE and thinking its pretty amazing with a core of Bynum, Yi and Collison he could add Dixon and Davis as FAs and Artest through trade and be in the playoff hunt. With Oden and Paul youre always just a couple pieces away from being a 50 win team. |

How are the Celtics 17-14? They don't have 1 player Id want starting on my team. I even dislike Rondos ratings at this point. Rondo is their only defender over A-. They have no A- inside guys and only 3 A- outside guys, 1 of which doesn't play. Gooden seems to be their best player at B- C C B B. This is a team that might be decent in the first or 2nd year of a sim but not 10 years in. Its just weird.

Mavs are gonna be sick with James, Beasley and Amare in the future. They just need a better PG.

He is definitely better than Marcus Taylor. He passes a lot better than he ever did. They are definitely of the same offensive breed though.

Beasley is truly the difference maker this year. I haven't been able to run a balanced offense in a while. I can't wait because Beasley is going to get better.
