Didn't realize how good Kobe has been this season.

Only Mighty Mouse had a A rating offensively. Everyone else has a B rating whether inside or outside. I think I actually get you guys this sim.

I can't wait. Spent all night setting up a a spreadsheet to see how my adjustment worked. I haven't done many spreadsheets before let alone ever worked with "numbers" on the iPad. My goal is to draw more fouls and see how that relates to my offense.

The weird thing about my offense is my top 3 scoring options are perimeter players and I run a balanced offense, but I'm 3rd in the league in FT attempts which probably has a big effect on me being 5th in scoring. Not sure how that is happening, but I hope it continues.

Having some inside offense opens up the outside. Where are you in 3pt attempts? Who is drawing most of the fouls?

You're still only in the middle of the pack in 3pt attempts but your 3pt% is very low. Good thing your team isn't chucking it more than they are.

For some reason, I'm not shooting 3's well right now even though I have good shooters. Hopefully it changes.

Big Country, Etan Thomas, and Drew Gooden are drawing most of the fouls. Stoudamire occasionally. I think my fast pace allows me to attack the defense.

Lmao I started doing this last season to keep track of trends. I filled like 20 pages of a graphing notebook seeing what worked best before I started just sticking it in excel

You'll do fine. I'm tinkering with my gameplan and it might be detrimental to me this sim. Pulled Zo and Brand out of my scoring options to see how far I can push my 3 point shooting in case I ever have to.

Yeah I do the spreadsheet thin as well and plug the #s into my teams advanced stats and what not.

I need to start looking more into formulas for that.

I think my offense is at its best right now. I get to the line and score alot. The only thing lacking is 3-point shooting, but I think that will improve on its own since my good shooters have been off early. Need to improve defensively.

Fast pace does not help with defense.

I know. The problem is my team turns it over a bit, especially the frontcourt players. Plus, I have alot of depth and using fast pace takes advantage of that. My bench is one of the best in the league. They average over 30 points a game. I could slow down the pace, but I'm worried about the turnovers and I don't have great scorers. I'm gonna try to trap and press more to speed up the game, get more turnovers and enhance my depth even more.

If the draft were today, I would have the #4, #9, and #10 picks.

If there was no such thing as the lottery, sure!

I'm starting to worry it doesn't matter what gameplan I use, my team just isn't good enough.

Oh yeah.

Maurice Taylor on the block. On a good contract and makes a good 3rd scorer for contending teams.

My team is rolling! Really hope this keeps up.

I'm 7-5 now and went 4-1 without Mighty Mouse in this sim, but when he came back, I lost by 50 at the Wiz. Not sure how I feel right now. Need to evaluate the offense because I'm making too many turnovers.

dampier is doing work on my bench right now, and sprewell is a ****ing shot clucker

Well, what do you know, Manu has improved his ball-handling and is now ahead of Lenard at SG in the index. Time to start him?

did cwilder quit?
