I expected this loss. I see Brooklyn as a sleeper in the East provided they stay healthy. I need to figure out how to keep Sexton out of foul trouble. He played well but picked up 5 fouls again. Sexton only averages 2.8 fouls per 36 so I don't know why he keeps getting 5 fouls in less than 25 minutes. Pretty crazy to be honest.

damn, seems like the squad was a little pissed off about the 2 pt loss we had at home.

Maybe caught some tired legs on a b2b?

Holmes is very key for you, connects your bench perfectly he was clearly missed.

Good win. Your squad starting out strong and I told you this off-season y’all time was coming.

As for LeBron, SIM seems to be treating him like he’s cliffhanging now.

I'm convinced the developers are Bron haters...

But yeah...the youngins want war...I'm also glad I didn't trade TT...

Are the power rankings developed by the game?

I got some questions.

I got a loss to #3, wins over #2, #8, and #16 and I'm only 11th?

yes its just copied from the game. Not exactly sure how the rankings are generated or the components that go into them.

Notes for the night:

- Buzzard's defense looks rough... If you wanna do Ben for Luka or Zion hit me up. :lol:

Also players foul when they're getting cooked if they're undisciplined but it'll all even out. Sexton won't be playing Kyrie every night.

- LeBron was -12. Every other starter was a positive. That starting 5 ain't working.

- Chicago got held to 24 points combined in the first and fourth quarters sheesh.

- IDK what's happening in OKC. We won with only 3 offensive rebounds? Against Portland? I'm lost. Should I be happy we're winning, or not happy because it's not in the way I expected. At the end of the day it's a simulation so it's hard to predict how ratings translate to stats. I mean it was a blowout too, totally unexpected.

- The Clippers had a b2b. Wonder how much fatigue played a factor (probably not much since San Antonio still shot 50+% from deep).

Yeah, I have no idea how they come up with them and they are always a little wonky early in the year. This first version is a bit off in some regards obviously with a few teams higher and a few more lower then expected. It usually works itself out about a month into the season. Figured I'd share it regardless but obviously take it for what it's worth.
