The sooner you give up the sooner they'll run off a 10 game winning streak or something. It's uncanny.

S/O to RJ Hampton with his best game with 19 points

The horror show has ended at least temporarily. The lineup tweaks have ended with a rotation I think works well for the current roster.

But in all seriousness I think the rotation seem a bit all over the place. I would just stick to LeBron at PG for the whole game and roll with that. Playing him a few minutes to start the game and then he just heads to the bench to then play PF the rest of the game.

I just look at the rotations of most of the successful teams and they have a more simple rotation strategy. If I remember early in the year you just had LeBron playing mostly all his mins at PG. I would stick personally stick with that. But thats just me.

That will be a tough game with your squad playing much better after the early struggles. I'm still kinda hit or miss on the road which is expected for such a young team. I have a couple nice road wins in Indy and Washington so who knows but it will be tough.

When I was successful early in the season LeBron was playing 14 mpg @PG and 34 mpg @PF. So it's not that. We just suck bro. The crazy part is the SIM is saying I don't have enough scoring. Who'd have looked at my team and thought offense would have been the issue?

:lol:

If you follow my three step plan I think you will find Raptor success:

1. Withdraw Your Lineup:

MPHarris is probably right that the Sim is angry with you but he is giving the wrong reasons. He's saying all this basketball related stuff when in reality Sim Nurse probably just hates you for telling him what to do and is pulling a Sim Larry Brown. Don't take it personally. Each Sim coach has a particular disdain for their Sim GM. Do they come into your office??? Stay out of their Sim locker room. Leave lineups entirely to your Sim coach's whims and you will find success.

2. Acquire Elfrid Payton From Robin Somehow:

The Sim is like one of those posters on the General Board that hates what the modern game has become. "Positionless basketball? BAH!" Elfrid Payton, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of player that a video game would come up with if they were creating a generic point guard so naturally the Sim loves him. And you don't really have a point guard. "But LeBron plays point guard in real life" you might say. See item 1. Your Sim coach hates you. Also, you might have one too many wings.

Spoiler:

As for getting in touch with Robin, they don't pay me enough to tell you that...

Spoiler:

3. Play LeBron Less:

This, of course, would be an inherent result of Suggestion 1 but you didn't listen to me then so listen to me now. You might try to look into this statement and again find some sort of basketball related meaning to this recommendation like preserving LeBron's energy. Please don't do that. This is about allowing Sim Nurse to find ample minutes for Alex Len, who will somehow become your team's savior while Sim LeBron's pouty ass sits. Positionless basketball? BAH!

Hope this helps. Merry Christmas BAF faithful!
