Meanwhile, the robot team quietly unseated another strong opponent.

Philly vs OKC is gonna be so epic.

I'm getting ready to let the sim decide my rotation because we can't win a damn close game, hell perhaps even Harden is rumored to request a trade. Anything is possible here.

It'll start turning your way soon. You got a strong squad, I actually am scared of your team lol.

With all the injuries, I am letting the SIM do my lineup. If/when things settle down again I will start doing one.

Want to let you run your own style to feel it out. I know its crazy but you gotta split Sexton/Luka's minutes up as much as possible. Defensively it just wont work consistently and with Luka's high usage Sexton just sitting out that as a spot up guy which is not his game.

This is just a game. Sexton played alongside Garland just fine. I am over the initial disappointment and just letting things run there course.

isn't that what happens when you build an entire roster of +40% 3 point shooters?

One would think, mpharris. One would think.

Rule 1: Don't panic. Do you Buzzard don't fall to the pressure you're led by a 21 and 20 year old with low deals you got time to slowly build. Don't let anyone get you off your vision.

It’s crazy the SIM finally broke out my offense agains your defensive squad. I thought I was gonna lose for sure.

I was telling ribs a few days ago how whenever I watch LeBron on TV he never misses, and then he goes 5-5 against my team ... My defense hasn't been that great this year so hopefully it's just a slow start. Your team will def improve throughout the season though, you're a second half team.. LeBron wasnt gonna stay down for that long .. but we're all dust in the end to Moses Brown

You had four guys with 5 fouls. Not sure I’ve ever seen that before in a regulation game. The guys in foul trouble were your key players too. I think that was the key for us winning and you losing.

I was about to say for your team to actually break out offensively vs SAC that is a great sign. Rozier 20 off the bench exactly what you needed. Also LeBron having a throw back game!

Yeah, I will need outings like this from Rozier on the reg. And Bron needs to get his schit together.

Rozier was a game changer for your offense.

I would argue the sexton/garland combo is kinda clunky and CLE kinda took off when they were forced to split that combo up. Both very talented but sometimes too guys that are battling for the ball can be more detrimental. Just my worthless 2 cents.

agreed no need to rush that type of build once this year is washed he has a clean salary cap and can basically go after whoever he wants to pair with them. I was more just referencing the little things you might be able to do to optimize what he has now.

You know how they talk about Steph's offensive gravity.

maybe Steph's offensive gravity even in a simulation is a thing too :dontknow:

tried a minute chart rotation and changed the lineup again.. we'll see how it goes.

Half predicting to lose to Atlanta because it's ribs and I never could even beat him last year when my team had 50+ wins
