Jay, you're probably not going to see my posts directed at you in the sim thread so I'll post here. How do you see yourself getting a top-4 seed? I'm legitimately wondering, because i think 7 teams in the East are far better than Detroit and they have a head-start to boot.

Plus I know there aren't 7 GMs better than me in the East, and I think that matters. Of course my team could continue to underachieve. But healthy, we definitely aren't the 8th seed.

MIL, CHI, ATL in the central, MIA/NJ/PHI/NYK in the Atlantic. Which team is Detroit better than?

Chicago is 27-9 and is 7 games up on you already. No chance. The other three you can at least somewhat argue, but it's still a huge stretch. Their teams are just flat-out better right now. Blair/DeRozan/Wall, Durant/Rose, DJ/Roy/LAM/Darko... I don't think you can compete with that at all over the 82 games. Maybe you'll prove me wrong, but I don't see it right now.

Haha yeah J, those guys are name players. Sorry that I threw out superstar players on the teams that you think you're catching. Such a stupid response.

But yeah, you actually would be. Your team is solid, but nothing more than that at all. It sucks that you're in the East because in the West you probably could get that 4th seed after LAL/DEN/SEA. I don't know how you possibly can belittle my noting of "name" players (aka superstar players) when it is a computer game. I'm supposed to accept that your system team that lacks talent and gives up more than they score is somehow going to leap-frog teams that are tremendously put together? Why, because you had a flukey season last year and are expecting to again? I really like your core a lot and think it might become what you think it already is but wow, it flat-out isn't right now.

I didn't have a flukey season, I had a healthy season with clearly established roles on the team. That was not the case this year, as I've tried 6 different line-ups and missed Tyson Chandler, Stephen Curry, Willie Warren, and Dominic Cheek all at different periods this year.

So how many wins is this team getting to get you a top-4 seed?

Yup, good response. You have literally a zero chance at a top-4 seed.

If you were GMing this team, I'd agree it's ceiling is the 7-8th seed. But I'm GMing this team, so the ceiling is the 4th seed. Easy.

So if you were GM'ing my team, what would the ceiling be? Trade Jeff Green for defense, get backcourt depth, and walk right into the Finals.
