Crazy game from SA/OKC. Moses Malone Brown with 35/13 and 30 shots but SA made a huge push in the 4th to win

if you told me I was only going to make one more 3 than OKC and Curry was going to go 4-18 from the field I would have told you I had no shot.

57 fouls in total in the game...yikes

Moses is a load down low and put up his numbers but at least I made him work 13/30 I will take. Russ fouling out helped.

Gotta figure out my best defensive rotation, cause this ain’t it worst defense in the league so far. At least we got the best offense in the league too though

Your defense should definitely be better with some of the pieces you have I'm pretty stunned I took that one. I think we were just hot.

Yeah we have the pieces but it’s not translating maybe it’s because of my matrix?

I expected a close game too, good game Cap, your team balled out 50+ bench points buried us

That's interesting. EBalla seems to have mastered The Matrix but it seems very persnickety. Maybe trade Val for Adams like the Grizz did

My team is just hot/cold so far. When we're on with space and pace we're pretty hard to beat because of our defense. But we've been held to 70 by the Spurs too.

Vanderbilt has been an unsung hero so far. Limited production but the team is always better when he's in. The Sim is so curious.

Good win from MPH and

Spoiler:

We got you next time. Steph was on lockdown, I like that much. Moses had a rough game against that strong ass defense y'all got and Russ... Man you'd think Moses was the 5 star and he had 2.5.

pros and cons to running attack defense, potentially be aggressive with Curry but risk putting your guards in foul trouble. Moses nearly fouled out both my bigs...seemed like a choppy foul fest we both were hacking a ton. Ugly win but I will take it.

Hey I'm not too mad at a 5 point loss against y'all. I got 3 losses but they're against you, Pooch, and a healthy NewEra. All games competitive. Clearly 3 of the 4 best in the West and the other team in that top 4 (Portland) I beat.

If I'm in the same category as y'all after being at 37 wins last year without a bunch of assets? I love it.

Hell I started off with Ben Simmons, Otto Porter, and Blake Griffin. Mama, there goes that GM.

Yeah its the first game I went into the 4th trailing...and needed a big 4th to win. But my defense kept me in it until my offense came around. Anytime I can win a game that Curry is ice cold is nice. I may need to play Gafford a bit more vs you since he is the biggest of my centers who are more mobile. Moses is someone everyone has to gameplan for.

For as terrible as my team is, our opponent's ppg has gotta be one of the best. About 96.5 ppg allowed

That's why I need Russ to do better. If he starts playing like he should I might be only slightly beneath you guys due to a weak bench. But with a great starting 5.

Imagine if Russ had Steph in foul trouble too. Or just wasn't getting outplayed like this vs other stars.

Mobley's last 2 sim games:

23/8/2/2/2
25/14/1/2/3

Outdueled Wiseman the last one, too

Screenshot from that game:



Lakers are 4-1 in their last 5. Who knew Alex Len was gonna be the difference maker?

Offense gets fixed, defense goes to schit.

LeBron back to inefficiency from the field. Kind of annoying the SIM downgraded LeBron’s efficiency like this when he didn’t have such a drop-off IRL. He shot 51% last year, 37% from 3, and his PPG held firm to the previous year.

So seems like they just projected him to cliffhang due to age. But the SIM being behind a year always meant going purely off of stats, not blind projections.

Long story short, this some b.s. that they did.

[Manhattan Project]

Well we finally got back Cole and got a victory in double overtime, Harden with a triple double. Once Zubac is healthy enough to play, I look forward to see what we actually look like.

[SOUL]

Trying my CP3 off bench with starters minutes strat because Fultz is sucking in the sim. Will see real results vs Portland but at least I didn't lose to ribs

They've switched things up. They used to hold on to high ratings for older vets for longer than their NBA life. I had Pau the first year and he freaking dominated... up until the point he busted his ACL.

Spoiler:

I had wanted to trade him to a contender for draft compensation...

[DaGawd]

Feels good to get back in the loss column

[Fat]

Josh Jackson is a excellent tank commander He deserves extra minutes.

Nerfed wiseman still producing 21/12

Tre Mann continues to impress off the bench and be a spark

Currently Playing a lot of guys out of position testing things out

this is what our identity was based on.

Fournier and Kemba seem like such a waste. I get what the front office was trying to do but it seems like they didn’t take defense in consideration at all
