Lotta hacking and whacking. Jokic fouled out two Clipper centers!

57 free throws cap

102 total.

Glad we didn't have to watch it.

yeah I expect SGA and Jokic to get to the line but giving up 28 FT's to Monte Morris and Rui...my god.

Monte's got a 92 FGI and a 100 handle. I don't make the rules. But that's why I scrapped my original lineup plan.

not sure FGI or Handle have anything to do with drawing fouls. But those are really good numbers.

He has a 20 DFL rating (drawing fouls) so he shouldn't be getting to the line since that is a really low number. And fouling out Curry who has my highest defensive instincts.

My fouling has been an issue this year...I gotta figure out how to control it. GG

I'm just saying he's shifty.

Ohhhhh you were trying to let me shoot. No wonder Joe Harris got loose.

Meanwhile... Richard's team is an issue.

yup, tried to keep SGA/Brown out of the paint...and if you made shots you made shots. I thought it would also mean you wouldn't shoot as many FT's...but fail :lol:

OBSERVATIONS

• Looks like Brooklyn is the new team to beat in the East. Last undefeated team left in the league

• Despite all the lofty expectations New Orleans is really struggling out the gate

• Dallas off to a slow start as well

• San Antonio may not be running away with a threepeat the way most predicted

• Seems like this will be one of the most competitive BaF seasons yet

I think we will see several trades before the deadline

I also noticed that we will have an in-season tournament. Same groups as the NBA. This should be exciting.

I had inquired about that a while back so very excited to hear about our inaugural BaF IST. Gives GMs another accolade to aim to win.

Jrue Holiday lit us up badly. I just can't with this backcourt right now, Young/Hield just bleed points

I accidentally left mine on attack. The fouls were.... predictable. Jokic's arms must be raw right now.

He was rarely wrong about how the Sim rates players.
