Smash built a helluva team last year though, and on top of that Whiteside was a sim god. I don't think any of us in the league saw a sweep coming, but that just goes to show how dominant your team is. I don't fault you for talking smack. You won a championship. You gotta enjoy that for as long as you can. Historically speaking, I think the West has always been more competitive that the east.

That goes to my point to where I say the east got underrated. Everyone predicted me to lose but he was my easiest opponent in the whole post season. People under estimated me and thought the competition I faced in the playoffs was weak but in reality they were great teams and arguably better than the west.

So far 2 BAF champions came from the east and 2 came from the West. Yet a couple teams in the west make it sound like the west has been winning every championship (not talking about you). I think some people don’t want to admit the east has had a couple of pretty strong years. Just my opinion though.


Melo really on crack, just a couple days ago he admitted to playing with the east, only playing his guys 32 minutes, not sending in defensive rotations, and not taking the competition in the east seriously and only being worried about Portland.

You really like to rewrite narratives like a politician :lol:

I was told to be good the last month, but I'm pretty buzzed.. but when I was talking about peoples line ups some of you guys were up in arms about why you slamming him. .but now that it feeds your argument your like yea Hoffa was saying you dnp lavine, Tatum, ayton, to tank for a pick..but no its Hoffa man is crazy he doesn't want to play for a championship even though the team that said he doesn't want to play for a championship fell behind him in the standings.. so if what he was saying was true that I was not playing for a championship but still ended up as a better team in the standings..it just must mean you are a terrible GM that can't finish above a team that isn't even trying in your opinion..FYI I think I'm winning baf year3- 5

I was done, but Melo kept going a couple pages, nah.... I'm officially calling him the Paperboy from now on. Paper champion out here talking real reckless.


When the Paperboy decides to send Murray to AFB that's when he'll get his name back until then, stay humble and stay in your lane.

You had the opportunity to go the route of the Paperboy several times I can respect that you didn't. I don't think anyone thinks you don't have a more legitimate team than the Paperboy. You're not lying though, you were early on Paperboy's activities.

The thing is, and maybe being new you didn't realize this, the sim always runs a year behind. Zion only played a total of 668 minutes in his rookie year averaging 22/6/2. Playing as a fourth option on Indy last year he averaged 14/6/2. Basically only his scoring was down which can easily be explained with him being on a team with Luka, Mitchell and Towns compared to the real life Pelicans. He also played all 82 games in the sim something he is extremely unlikely to ever do IRL. Considering his situation, I would say the sim creators did well by Zion last year. If you care about "stars", I would guess that he would definitely jump up at least a full star this year. And his stats should go up just based on the fact that he should get more shots with Mitchell and Towns gone.


My guess is he has five star _potential_


I agree, I would guess he will be 4.5/5 to start the year and could easily finish 5/5.

Ignore the PPG. When LeBron was in Cleveland the 1st time, his MVP ability ( rating ) was great. When he went to the Heat and played with Bosh and Wade it was great. When he went back to Cleveland to play with Irving and Love it was great. In other words LeBron kept winning MVPs even when his PPG took a hit for being on a better team; or his PPG improved when he was on less talented teams.

I get the Zion hype. I really do. But people looking at Zion like he is a five star player already, need to take a reality check. Luka is there. Zion has a star or two left to go.

Me and your beef is well documented. But I find it hilarious that every time Melo and I go back & forth, he goes out of his way to bring your name into it, in an effort to try to take shots at me. Yet after all that felatio he was offering you, it still won him no favors from you.

You was doing the same schit tho. Every time we go back and forth you can’t wait to bring Hoffa name in our public battles and jump on his wood like a jockey on a race horse.

Damn, I just realized why you post so many Trump GIFs...

You really make up your own storylines, and reality. You're calling me a maniac for starting this over a like when you, PAPERBOY sent me an unsolicited DM asking me if we are cool because I liked one of 2010's post - so either we're both maniacs or again you're living in your own reality like your daddy Donald J Trump. More importantly that was when y'all was going at it, I haven't sent a single DM to you since so I don't know why you're making it seem like I sent you a DM recently.
