most of us are not that hardcore about this, and prefer the simplicity of knowing, 2 minute increments, and let the SIM handle the rest.

we enjoy the fact that it's something this simple we can all do, that isn't too overly complicated. it allows us to give simple things to bish, he runs it through the SIM, and, on HIS OWN FREE TIME, gives us knicks fans something to look forward to since our real life team sucks.

but again, take away what you will from it. the rest of us just enjoy something a little extra, but is simple enough for the rest of us to understand, take a part in, enjoy, and realize it's just a game

It has to do with my expectations of how good Luka, Zion, Sexton, and KP should be.

But I will take your suggestion on advisement if you want me out. Just be man enough to say so is all I ask.

well, we'd all like to go 82-0. we all expect to go 82-0. but like in real life, no team does. there are wins and losses.

not sure what i need to be man enough to do

You suggested I move on. I don't like hints or subliminal messages....

Oh. I thought it was quite direct :lol:

. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure there was anything subtle or subliminal about it.

I actually would prefer you not leave. But if getting angry over a game that doesn't go your way is a problem, this isn't for you.

But what I said was quite direct.

Personally, i don't have a problem with you at all. I couldn't care less. This is just a fun thing we all do to pass the time.

But nothing I said was indirect, subliminal, or passive. Was quite direct. But it's up to you, my man. It's just a game

looks like they were pissed about that loss on opening night.

Too funny. I never expected a win. But I did expect a better showing. Zion and Doncic played like all stars. Sexton chipped in 20.

thats why can't get too high or low from one game. Upsets happen in the NBA. The cream will rise to the top. SIM hasn't failed us in 4 years.

This. Upsets happen. It's part of real life. In the end, it all works out.

The Cavs spread their minutes around. I am sure they expected more out of LaVine and Randle.

Stick around

But If you do drop.

Zion/doncic for free?

for sure Melo is pretty cautious with his guys minutes during the regular season. He knows where he will be late.

Randle looks like he played horrible.

The Southwest division is going to be a battle. Add HOU to another team that can threaten the big dogs!

Yeah. Sexton, Zion, and Luka outscored Melo's starting 5 87-84.

Also 2010 not looking too hot. Lebron opening the year with 3 duds in a row.

Speaking of upsets Pooch needs to put Claxton on the pine where he belongs... Or at least keep this lineup out until we play a game first. :lol:

The Suns starting 5 just played their 3rd good game vs a good team... I'm shocked and appauled.

And I'm changing my expectation for the Spurs since Curry and Porter are determined to be over 50% from deep... 65+ wins and the Finals with Melo. Curry and Porter just seem OP right now.

Welp, Dinwiddie to the bench confirmed.

E-Balla · Post #1432 » by **E-Balla** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:06 am

Embiid is unfair. 8 point loss with Moses fouling out in 25 minutes, Ben only playing 17 and getting 5, and Westbrook fouling out. Only shot 9-27 for 27 points but we got killed by fouls and a short guard rotation.

Outrebounded 33 to 46 with Moses, Westbrook, and Ben on my roster too... Makes no sense smh. Imma just hope I break out this cold streak before whenever I play Portland because I know they're up soon.

Mikal bridges went off tonight. He’s the Perfect role player compliment for jokic and Giannis

I'll mention again Dinwiddie was +6 and led your team in +/-. He's +27 on the season (tied with Harden for best on your team) and you're talking about benching him for Cole (who's -32, only Grayson Allen is worse)?

I mean you do you but I know a few posters here will be happy you benched a good 3 and D player.

all in all holding Embiid to 33% shooting and needing 27 shots to get 29 points is a major win.

I think you were hurt by the bullock/bertans off the bench. 9-16 combined from 3 for them seemed like the difference. You also held Tobias to literally nothing.

Also 10 missed FT's killed you, but you know that is an issue with the guys you have.

I am kind of copying McMillan's lineup. My starters will get the bulk of the minutes. Then a few role players will get most of the bench minutes ( like 20 a game ).

I get being worried about injuries and I am being somewhat cautious with KP. But I am not going to let that hold me back. Plus I don't have a Randle sitting on my bench...

I like Dallas as much as anyone. Sooner or later the SIM is going to like them too.

If you decide on a mini retool, something like Dinwiddie for Moody....

Sac yearly traditions of early injuries starting...

Glad to have gotten the win with Beal going 1-9 (but 14-14 free throws though!)

Isaac with them stocks! 4 steals, 4 blocks.
