Your defense is crazy

Yours isn't so bad yourself. This is war.

Massive. Basically a dead man guided that squad to a second round exit last year. So there's the standard.

I think you are wrong here because the SIM does not have Zion as a 5 star player. I think he was 3.5 last season. I think that is stupid and said it a hundred times. But I can't fix the difference between what most rating sites think of Zion and what our BAF rater thinks of him.

The ratings get things done. Not the player name/hype. I think there are several teams with two 5 star rated players. My Pacers are not one of them.

The thing is, and maybe being new you didn't realize this, the sim always runs a year behind. Zion only played a total of 668 minutes in his rookie year averaging 22/6/2. Playing as a fourth option on Indy last year he averaged 14/6/2. Basically only his scoring was down which can easily be explained with him being on a team with Luka, Mitchell and Towns compared to the real life Pelicans. He also played all 82 games in the sim something he is extremely unlikely to ever do IRL. Considering his situation, I would say the sim creators did well by Zion last year. If you care about "stars", I would guess that he would definitely jump up at least a full star this year. And his stats should go up just based on the fact that he should get more shots with Mitchell and Towns gone.

If we start hitting our threes it's gonna be trouble.

My guess is he has five star _potential_

I agree, I would guess he will be 4.5/5 to start the year and could easily finish 5/5.

This is a great game

2k hasn't yet figured out that SGA can get past everyone even though he's slow af.

Embiid going to work

3toheadmelo · Post #72 » by **3toheadmelo** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:16 am

Golden state on a big run

Post #73 » by **Capn'O** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:16 am

Embiid is such a damn problem.

Post #74 » by **Capn'O** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:20 am

Damn, good half NE. You're killing me inside.

So far my vision of space and pace... not so good.

Gobert with 12 rebounds at half time

Kyrie going off

Post #77 » by **Capn'O** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:27 am

2k really favors the iso game. Clips aren't really built for that so I want to see what the Sim does with us because it's a little more nuanced. I want a lot of corner 3s and then SGA and George to play maestro. Gobert is gonna get a lot of garbage points and roll man plays. Love what I'm seeing from defense though.

Irving/Embiid is a nasty combo.

For the record, NE's outside game isn't getting a lot of respect either outside Kyrie. He's got some snipers.

clippers sticking around
