Losses shouldn't hurt this early, but it does. Feels like a playoff loss dammit!

44 point effort from McCollum down the drain.

Four out of five Portland starters in double figures.

We fought back and fell short.

Toronto only 2-4 in the first week yet climbed a spot (+1) in the Power Ranking.

It’s a wacky BaF world in this first week. Some surprising early records too.

I’m still tryna get a handle on things…

For me its always Sexton getting into foul trouble that screws my guard rotations up. The SIM has **** me over with his tendency to foul. He hardly ever gets in foul trouble in the NBA.


this is how in depth the game can get. i believe there's more i'm not touching upon

Yo br7 I’m very interested in the details of that last screenshot you sent (Offensive Coaching Strategy).

Can you post the screenshot of all 6 Offensive Strategies — particularly “Grind” and “Balance”?

If you don’t want to post them all publicly please PM them to me.

I will send them tomorrow to you. I think it changes depending on your roster so it is customized to your team (I could be wrong about that). I haven’t looked too closely at it but I have sent out screenshots to other GMs who have requested them.

That’s very valuable info to see how to best choose the offense for your team as it’s constructed. Thanks!

Another close game lost for the Jazz, another one you have to assume that Anthony could've made a difference. Now to ponder this bombshell offered.

But it would be OD to ask Bish to dig into the details and tweak things for each individual team any further because it’s already a LOT imo.

Again, the better teams usually rise to the top. It’s waaaay too early to panic.


i agree. i actually said what bish does now is too much. that's why i'm glad we compensate him just a little bit.


i was just pointing out how intricate and involved the SIM actually is, or can be

Jonas might be better than Moses honestly. I assume Moses is who you have down as the best big in BAF. Jonas is producing his ass off so far though.

Man if I had the options to take the Pacers I'd be all over it. One of Zion/Luka would've been shipped this offseason (probably Zion) but I'd have focused on fit more than anything else.

Instead I got OKC and had to rely on breaking the sim and praying I don't fumble the FA next year lol.
