4 wins, 6 losses. I won my opener and stomped LA (Lakers), but some of my losses are baffling. Fortson went off on this sim, maybe I should make him a scoring option....

If this season turns out like the last one, I'll be pissed.

Opposite of what I predicted. Nice!

What happened to, "The Heat is an easy win for everybody!"? ;)

I'm stunned! 5-2 with 3 wins against playoff teams from last year. Not doing anything this off-season might of been my best strategy yet lol.

Apparently Jason Terry happened!

Frustrating losses 3-0 at home 2-4 on the road. Eddie Jones must have forgot to play defense, it seemed like every teams SG went off. Mo Williams goes for 30 against me? Baron had a triple double and aside from 1 game when he went 1-11 from 3 has been amazing. I don't think I ever lost more than 2 games in a sim last year and doubled that here in first sim.

Oh and Eddie Jones B+ outside (A- last year and career 40% 3pt shooter) shot 9.5% from 3.

I have 3 really good players in Carmelo, Manu, and Mighty Mouse. Unfortunately everyone else has been average or less so far. 5-3 is good especially after starting out 1-3 and winning the last 4 games. Hopefully other guys will step up.

Wow at the lakers being 0-7

Holy...I didn't see that makes me feel bad about complaining about 5-4.

7-1.. I like it. I hope Chauncey can keep this up. Trell. U see why I wanted ak47 so bad last season. He's a beast

Ah, crap. Just realized Shane was out 4 games and will also miss the next game.

BoJangles is flat out one of the best GMs in this league. No one really expects much out of the Sixers yet every year he has a strong team.

Your team is on fire. Handed me my only blowout loss so far.


The nets defense has been ridiculous so far. 76 points a game. Ak 47 is proving to be better than a lot of people thought.

2 starters and my 6th man were out for almost the whole sim!!! Went 3-7.

This is no knock on Bojangles as a GM at all, but wasn't he basically given Antawn Jamison last year during the Tank-A-Thon of 03 and then resign him to a max? I know he's made some other great moves. I beleive he drafted Camby and Chauncey which both players have recently doubled their production from the first 2 years. Quadrupled in Chaunceys case, and I know this is only 2 weeks into this season...

Thanks guys. I'm glad I increased Cambys inside game. He had 2 or 3 30 point games and almost had a quad double with 34 21 7 7

really happy with 7-2, defense could still be improved and McDyess could be doing more... should I tamper with a good thing?

I was working on powerrankings and this sim messed it up.....

No offense busta, but I'm kinda happy you did bad. I got your pick!!

index is not working at all from me

1 Warriors 119, WIZARDS 104
2 76ers 124, WARRIORS 94
3 No Game
4 No Game
5 No Game
6 Warriors 98, SPURS 91
7 WARRIORS 112, Nuggets 110
8 NUGGETS 104, Warriors 96


Ya went 3-2

^^ Thank you so much!

Lakers.... hahaha

My team being 3-2 is unacceptable. Need to play around with the game plan.

Barkley's produced unusually well, however. A lot of your key guys have stellar outside ratings, have you tried that as your offensive focus?

records of the teams that beat the Lakers

3-2(kings)
7-2(Sonics)
4-2(clippers)
4-6(Suns)
5-1(Bulls)
7-1(Sixers)

Pretty tough schedule to start the season.

Anyone have any idea why the index is not working?

4 of those teams are division rivals, though. No matter how you put it, losing early divisional games is bad, they can come back to haunt you when playoff positioning becomes a factor. That being said, no way the Lakers stay like this.

Working fine for me

Yeah he was good, but he will come back down to earth. I might change up the pace.

No doubt, 0-6 at home as well. Can't start off any worse than this. Ballsohard has made some damn good adjustments in the past though so it won't surprise me if he comes back from this sooner than later.

Trust me, he'll do his best to turn it around.

It doesn't work with certain service providers, apparently. It doesn't work with my u-verse at home.

3-5... Not the start I was looking for. Got blown out twice (once by the hawks, sheesh) AMD lost the other 3 by a combined 6 points. Shareef needs to step it up.

I think my team is bipolar.

Team went 3-3. Lost against the T-Wolves, Bulls and Sixers which are some of the better teams but beat the Spurs, Rockets(again lol) and blew out the Sonics. Pretty tough first few games. Kenyon Martin is stepping up. Francis is keeping those turn overs down but now I have to figure out this C/PF rotation to say the least lol

I hate the Blazers.

My rebounding is insane right now. I'm averaging 61 rebounds per game O_O

3-2 isn't bad considering who I had to play. Defense is amazing. Offense has been subpar. The team will shoot better than 39% and Vince will shoot better than 14% from 3 as the season goes on. I'm optimistic right now.

Perimeter shooting seems to be the weakness right now, but still, you will be a Western conference contender.

My frontcourt and bench have been average this season. Hopefully guys step up because Carmelo, Manu, and Mighty Mouse have been outstanding. Heck, my team went 3-0 without Etan Thomas. Greek Shaq played ok in his place.

Defense improved, without Baron I thought we would be worser, but at best as good as we was last year. I know its still early in the season, so I'm not getting my hopes up. But to bad I'm being a "bad GM" right now. I'm trying guys, and I'm doing what III think is good for MY team, so please see how things play out first.

Also it seems everyone team is better this season, even though some teams are playing bad I doubt it continues because they all are goo teams.

My team is off to a good start. If Redd goes back to performing like he did last year, I think I can go all the way. Lebron is already one of the most complete players in the league

1-3 man i hope it gets better
