Also loving my offseason so far. First Westbrook goes to LA in a move that can possibly kill his numbers, now Ben Simmons might end up on my exempt list while LMA doesn't come off of it.

**** is trash lol.

Melo has offered to run two games per night on Friday and Saturday nights. So if we do what we did last year and just make a simple 32 team NCAA style single elimination bracket, we can run 31 games in eight weeks which will bring us very near to our opening day for the sim.

A randomized schedule for this "2021 Bubble tourney" will be released shortly.


sounds good.


i told melo that i don't mind running 2K streams for guys that want to see how their team matches up with others. i'm not gonna step on his toes if he wants to do it.


but if people don't want it, i'm good with skipping it, too


i don't want to take away from you. just another thing for everyone to talk about and keep everyone interested

this. i feel like this was difficult for bish. but if this system was easier than previous ones, i say this is how it rolls until another, better, more efficient idea comes through.

I don't think _this year's_ sim will take the Westbrook/Simmons offseasons into account. It'll be interesting if he's a holdout though.

Exactly, and even if Simmons holds out he will still be eligible for the SiM I believe. We have had players play in the sim in the past that weren't playing in the NBA.

You’re good bro. Feel free to sim games until the tournament starts. We plan on starting next week when 2k22 next gen releases. After the 2k bubble is done you can run sims during the season also if you want

Lol oh wow just checked the link. Up 11 heading into the 4th. Anything can happen, but yes Russ is a superstar who gets a bad rap. I’m not surprised. He probably took over like he’s often done in sim.

Silly mistakes by Luka down 4 with 30 secs left in the game. He fouled Davis on one end sending him to the line, then turned the ball over on the other end.
