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.

wait what did I do

Randle at +2?I'm adding everyone's stats to these spreadsheets I see it all lmao.

All I know is that I’m running a rotation very similar to last season (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it) so whatever happens is up to the sim lol

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.

Makes sense. Without doing as much research as you have, PER seems to correlate well as well. Why mediocre bigs seem to be overvalued.

The Embiid injury is trash but NewEra is a beast. He's still got a team good enough to keep him floating with Nerlens and Favors holding him down inside for a half dozen weeks.

Damn that Embiid news sucks…. i know NewEra will find a way to keep his team very competitive until he’s back tho

They messed me up and changed the defensive ratings a lot. Helped a bit though because it meant Frank Jackson became a good defender, but it made Moses lower than I expected.

I was trying to figure out how I can lose a game where I make 17 more 3's than the OPP and made the exact same amount of FG's. I gave up 47 goddamn FT's. :lol:

LeBron finally gets a deep team full of help and he suddenly transforms into an inefficient mid-teens scorer.

:lol:

Beat a good team in Orlando tho, so I won’t complain too much. But I’m still in evaluation phase. Sample size is still small.

Holmes down. Time to unleash The Green Kornet.

BAF fam, I truly appreciate the empathy in regards to Embiid’s injury. For real. It sucks cause he was off to a phenomenal start, but I’m grateful it’s only 46 days. I see this as an opportunity to really test my skills and have fun with it. Challenges like this only make us stronger and I’m totally up for it!

Post #1531 » by **DOT** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 1:20 am

15 points, 7-10 shooting, +26, 1-1 record since being inserted into the starting lineup

All for $1

If anyone is up for it its you. It does get to see how the rest of your roster is in a larger role but it sucks for you obviously the most but for the league too.

Obviously you are one of the top teams I want to go against everyone top team, selfishly, to gauge where my team is at (and I think most would agree with that). Because there are no hand outs in the post season so all these are important test.

46 days isn’t that long. Warriors will be contending once Embiid is back, I really like that team as currently constructed. Embiid will be back and get right back to dominating in a a little over a month

Thinking about our discussions during the Lillard trade, great move demanding Noel.

No Dame or Melo against the Cavs. Well that sucks

I was waiting for that and was hoping the sim would adjust. With the Pistons and all these up and coming teams I gotta try to go in while I can.

Well here is how this is going to work for me. My team is my team. I like them a lot and think its a team that can make some noise. But if I am wrong, then I am just wrong. I will continue to lose despite playing my best players; and I will have a lottery pick.

I will see you in the playoffs or I will see you in the lottery. My work is done.

How in the blue hell are we supposed to guard those two if they're both rated properly?
