Teams go on swings, could see you run off a 6 or 7 game win streak.

I had streaks of 7 wins last year and just as many losses in a row last season

2010 is a great example of someone that got off to a slow start last year and turned it on after the all-star break. I don't remember what his win streak was or what moves he made prior to jump start that or organically it just happened. But the SIM does rattle off streaks.

Yup. Every single year my team has started slow then goes on some crazy run and makes the playoffs.

San Antonio is by far the most underrated on this list. Imma let my team speak for themselves but no one before the season could've guessed I'd get this out of Moses (other than me).so of course I'm underrated.
