I think we found the new SIM Whiteside!

Y'all didn't believe me did you? I been saying it since last year I was basically gambling my season on the ratings of him, Ben, and Westbrook. By the end of the season Ben should be 4 stars and Moses 3, that's when it'll really kick into gear. He was the obvious bet for the "super overrated player based on per minute production" player this year. Had to get him and keep him.

Notes for the night:

- Chicago is officially scary as hell. Got outrebounded by 14 and won big, that's my whole strategy to win most games lol.

- Lebron with ANOTHER stinker. Uh oh.

- Zion, Sexton, and Luka starting the season bad doesn't bode well for people that'll be playing them midseason when they probably start playing hot. Only a matter of time.

- Melo thinks he's slick. I'm noticing a low +/- from certain bench guys when I realized that's garbage time minutes artificially lowering them.

- San Antonio shot 18-36 from deep. Portland shot 1-9. Portland won by 2 in a game with 21 lead changes. Insane gameplan from the sim coach but it worked.

- The Dinwiddie Bench reigns supreme!!!

- 6 steals from Nance, 42-17 from Moses, but I don't like these games so far. Love the W's especially against 2 teams I'll be in the running with later, but my team is not playing well in the areas we specialize in and we have one of the 3 best teams in the conference tomorrow and another Monday.

The Knicks dream of this line for Robinson:
18/13 and 2 blocks. He played 33 minutes and did not commit one foul. Dream on SIM God, Dream on

Dort, Mitch, Porter, and Green are all starters too. Green/Barnes/Kuminga are rookies and the sim obviously guesses on them so let's go beyond them.

Herro is averaging 21/5/4 in real life, Ball 20/8/8, Mitch 7/8, Dort 17/4/2, KPJ 13/4/6 (but I'll give you this - he's terrible no matter his numbers). Context has a solid 40-45 win squad.

Gobert heard the whispers.

Waits for injury report :banghead:


There's a warrant out for his arrest on battery charges in Los Angeles so maybe that had something to do with it.

A good number of your guys got high end ratings, particularly when you factor in potential. I'm a little surprised your _start_ has been this good though. I thought you would come on late in the season.

I have no expectations...im very busy with work this year but I am doing my best to feel the team out and see how the sim reacts to the young bulls...I was thinking of trading TT but I think he may be useful...I will see where we are at the 20 game mark. I'm happy that I am in my 2nd phase of my plan...

I told y'all I was studying the last few seasons to see what was OP and what wasn't. See what was overvalued and what wasn't. Offensive rebounding was the winner by far. Moses averaged 6 ORB per 36 last year. Led the league.
