SGA is playing out of his mind. Really interested to see how the Clips (who are dominating) handle the Champion Spurs.

DET being one game away from a Scottie Barnes comeback was crazy. They won a big one vs CHI (minus LaMelo), but HerSports got that team playing really well.

Utah sweep was a bit surprising. Thought that series would be more competitive.

We’re in for a treat with Magic vs Bulls I think

I’m happy to have two players on that list (Wemby and Gobert — two finalists for the NBA DPOTY Award) but one day soon I gotta see Amen Thompson join them, as well.

You may be unbeatable next year depending on how the sim updates you...
You were so right about Amen...You obviously were destine to have the kid...you know how I get down- had I looked into the twins-
I would have reached and took him...just keeping it real...
And once Wemby is sim recognized- youll be able to move Gobert if he doesnt fit your financial plan...

They did your man Rudy dirty. He was voted most overrated by NBA players as well which is kinda crazy.

If his numbers are the same he will be recognized by the sim...Honestly - I havent seen him play one game this year..
I do wonder why the nba players feel hes over-rated...

He has had a very good statistical year for his archetype (efficiency, rebounds, blocks, defensive impact, etc).

Players don’t really like him like that for several reasons (Euro, can get a bit whiny, is blamed for starting COVID among the players, didn’t really get along well with Spida Mitchell when they were on the Jazz).

But his sim impact may arguably be even stronger than his irl impact. He’ll be rated nicely again next sim season for sure.

The future for Amen looks promising. If he can develop even a league average 3pt shot then he likely becomes a star 2-way wing with lead guard abilities. Plus the rare wing who can play off the ball in the dunkers spot or equally well in the short roll.

His all around impact is so strong that whether he develops a 3pt shot wont matter. I've never seen a player like him. Green and Amen will be that duo for the rockets 2010.

Yeah, Amen’s a unique player (his brother too).

Jalen Green really had his coming out party as well. He was a player I was extremely high on during his draft class, so I’m glad to see he’s panned out.

Your squad is stacked with young talent. Gonna be some real battling for playoff seeding next season.

I spent going 8-17 playing around with line-ups before I went with some consistent line-ups...There is still much more to learn but I have an idea of what I want to do this off season.

What I love about Green is you can tell that he hasnt figured everything out yet but he determind to do so. This year will be interesting for him as him and Segun go on a discovery of how to play off one another...
