O/U at the mid point of the season using current win percentage:

Spoiler:

First thing that stands out? My accuracy in the West is pretty incredible, my inaccuracy in the East is equally incredible. I did these ratings after I already saw the player ratings so it was easier to determine what players are good and what players are bad but I couldn't estimate the East would still be this bad after the last free agency and most of the teams I picked to make major improvements have gone nowhere. Overall 14 of these teams are within 3.5 games of my prediction so I'm about 50/50 on accuracy.

Also I love the fact that New Orleans is one of my perfect predictions, how's that for ya Pooch?

And if you filled out an O/U post it and compare results I'm interested in how many y'all got right. I remember off the top of my head Hoffa filled one out.

James, who finished with 37 points, said Bryant had taken advantage of Anthony Davis's absence to show off his skills.

"Thomas (Bryant) is definitely taking full advantage of this opportunity. And he's a guy who plays extremely hard, knows how to play, and probably one of the most skilled bigs in this game. He catches everything. He finishes everything around the rim. But he also has a soft, soft touch from the mid-range and from the three point line. And he's just has a motor and he's just a huge motor that there's just always going on both sides of the floor. I've always worked well with guys like that.

This might be a function of the tank for Wemby but there's only 4 teams projected to be between 40-49 wins at this point of the season. It's kind of crazy how much ok teams there are in the BaF league, Utah is probably the only mid team we got (not using mid as a bad thing of course just descriptive).

the problem with Wemby is based on history --he has a very low chance of being durable...I looked into wemby heavily when i had the ATL, Washington, and a couple other key 2023 lottry picks....I decided that I wouldnt draft him - just as I decided that I wouldnt draft
the other center last year because of the durability concerns...

Yeah, I kinda like that Murray guy. He's pretty good.

I have two main deals coming up, one I overpaid a bit and the other I underpaid a bit, so it balances out I suppose lol.

I'm still in the middle of either getting a top 5 pick or getting one of the last spots in the playin. Will be interesting to see how the SIM reacts to my incoming lineup...
