I wasn't specifically talking about Utah as a team the west is really tough... suns just proved that too...nearly every team in the west is going to give you a game on every night...the whole league has strong parity this year.

I think when the ratings came out I said if they don't adjust his SCR Zions might be a SIM beast I think you mentioned there is a certain type of player that gets effected by the SIM and Zions shot charts...ect. that was what I was referencing.

Oh yeah I was down on his efficiency. Still am. He'll be closer to 50% from the field than 60 which is still great of course but not real life Zion.

We shall see..playing alongside 95 passing harden. With his high scoring rating. Could be

I still like Siakam's fit better with my team but there is no doubt that Wolverine Studio came through for Zion.

We both do my friend. I think Detroit has a shot at a top five seed in the East; so they were a solid opening day win. But make no mistake, the Cavs with JJJ, Ayton, Bam, and Tatum are the real deal.

Good luck tonight Melo/Cavs.

Tired of my team always starting off the season with a bunch of injuries tho. Luckily they usually recover halfway through

Facts. I could use Trent vs OKC tomorrow, but probable for 2 days.

You might need him big homie. Embiid needs all the help he can get.

Gary Trent Jr. has been ruled OUT for tonight's matchup against the rolling Thunder. GM NewEra will use the opportunity to take a look at some other guys in extended minutes.

Since we don't have a pre-season in BaF, traditionally I like to use the first 7 games to play with different combinations of players on the floor. Injuries suck, but they kinda help me to get a look at some of the other guys too. It's early in the season, so I'm doing something a bit different tonight. In observing your team, one of the things I've noticed is that Jarrett and Montrezl particularly have gotten opposing guys into foul trouble. Hopefully we can avoid that. I was up until 1 am going over like five different strategies for this game. We'll see what happens.

This game is actually fun when your team is good and you're trying to win lol

Zion got a concussion probably from banging his head against the wall cause we still beat Utah after him dropping 51 on us, crazy

I think Clarkson was a sneakily good pickup for me. Has 3 years left on his deal, pretty cheap, and is having maybe his best season irl at least through the first 24 games

Wiseman is looking like he won't pan out for me though. Can't even hack it in the G League irl.

With your record and experiences in the SIM, I should probably follow your lead. But I already decided to see what and how the SIM AI sees my team for at least the first 10 games.

I'm going to let it set my lineup, check out the stats and won/loss, then go from there.

Ezmoney did what you're doing for years and had regular season success. Feel free to try it out, but personally I think it's more fun to create my own line ups and minutes. Win or lose it just feels like my decisions played a role in the outcome. :dontknow:

Montrezl got into foul trouble game 1 vs Zion so maybe Randle can avoid this. I'm mad tho I wanted y'all at full power lol.

Ezmoney was killing people with that strat. There's just so many ways to approach the season. Personally I feel like in my 2 years here that injuries happen so often you get to try out new pairings anyway.

The injuries are the elephant in the room. There is so many of the small nagging ones with 1 to 5 games being impacted at a time. To be successful in this SIM, its imperative to know which bench players perform well with the starters.

I have players that fit into roles based on their possession usage and I just plug and play after an injury. It's the Gs that are harder to fill in.

What is the Gs?

Going with a boring starting line up today, defense first, let's see what 4 80+ defenders can do

You trying to find if its possible to stop/slow down both Trae and Siakam in the same night...

It does not matter to me. No matter what Trae and Siakam do, my defense has to show up and my others are going to have to shoot the rock like their NBA stats indicate.

Otherwise, I am going to lose anyway...

Trae the best offensive player in the sim, but Hoffa got a SQUAD. I'm looking forward to it.
