Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
I just looked at my schedule.
A back-to-back-to-back is diabolical, nasty work!
Sim tryna take my guys out at the end of the season. But I’m hard headed like Thibs. I’m tryna gain entrance into the 65-win club.

I'm kinda a psycho...still the #1 overall seed not settled...and 70 wins are still in play (that would give me 70+ wins in 3 of the last 4 years...)

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
The Toronto Raptors won 104-86 on the road, at the United Center, over a resting Chicago Bulls team.
Michael Porter Jr., Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert were standout performers for the Raptors, each notching a double-double.
Toronto’s record improves to a franchise record 63-16, with 3 games left to play, as the Raps seek to secure the 65-win benchmark, before riding into the playoffs with momentum.
It’s been an to impressive season for Toronto, winning the Atlantic Division crown for the 2nd straight season and locked into the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference.
However, there are still goals to be met and missions to be accomplished. Job’s not done!

Welp whoever has my lottery pick, I hope it ends up #1. Good luck.
Hey if you're looking to rebuild, I got that pick next year!
Somehow I'm still not eliminated, incredible. Like a lot of the talent on my team, can't wait until next year.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
I think the sim has always had its regular season end on the same date since we've been playing. Maybe something in the programming. So in order to accommodate the in season tourney and the play in games it definitly seems like they have loaded up on the schedule these last few days. Lots of teams playing lots of games. I don't recall if last year was similar as far as the back to back to back.

I don't recall anyone saying anything and I know it didn't happen with us.
