Pretty happy with the result as Hakeem went nuts in scoring this time while we kept Chamberlain in check.

That was a hell of a game. You own us so far.

TRO · 04-16-2008, 06:43 PM

Magic threw up a 24 assist game today to go with his 23 points. w00t.

wade moore · 04-16-2008, 07:06 PM

Hakeem is averaging a double-double. I'd like his points to be higher, but I think when I find the right offense he'll excel.

JeeberD · 04-17-2008, 05:44 AM

Geez, the Woots just killed us at home. Our shooting was abysmal. We rebounded well as a team, shot free throws well, didn't commit an unreasonable amount of turnovers...just couldn't get the ball into the hoop.

wade moore · 04-17-2008, 06:43 AM

It looks like we might be starting to find the right way to use Hakeem - another big game from him.

woots play some kind of voodoo defense - they have pretty much shut everyone down this season.

Subby · 04-17-2008, 08:07 AM

We made a big tweak in our offense and won (albeit at home) with Zo in foul trouble most of the game. We'll see how it translates in the afternoon game.

Showtime! is vulnerable with Moses out one more game...

Radii · 04-17-2008, 08:49 AM

36 in the first half for Oscar, he finishes with 50 points, 16 assists, 11 boards in a 26 point win, his 3rd triple double. 6-1!

send the goons after him in the 3rd quarter so he can't play the entire game?!

chesapeake · 04-17-2008, 09:39 AM

Losing Moses in the post really blows my offensive gameplan out of the water. Thankfully it is only 1 game.

Radii · 04-17-2008, 03:07 PM

overtime in the second game vs pittsburgh today and they jump out to an early lead in the OT and win 127-123, great game.

No, it didn't. It was very close midway through the 4th, and the game log indicated that Bird was a clutch player wanting the ball late. Clearly, the game was written to magnify the effects of big stars at crucial times.

JeeberD · 04-18-2008, 05:26 AM

Losing streak...

I think I need to find some time to tweak some things.

wade moore · 04-18-2008, 06:37 AM

Wholy crap.

With Kukoc out and my #1 backup at SF (Rick Fox) goes out after the first half for THROWING a punch..

And we beat the Woots?!

Wow.

chesapeake · 04-18-2008, 02:14 PM

I get crushed by Harvard. And, to add injury to insult, they pop Bird for a game with about a minute left. I guess that is one way to defend Showtime!

Subby · 04-19-2008, 07:54 AM

More adjustments and a win! Suck it, wade...

Missed this with my busy weekend...

I forgot about activating Kukoc, doh!

That's why I'm happy with my win this morning against New Jersey - we won without him.

I feel like I have a pretty decent feel for this team now. I know what kind of teams we'll struggle with and which ones we can play tight with, some idea of what strategy to use, etc.

We're terrible away, but I notice that most teams are. We're 1-5. My gut feeling is that the "home town ref" factor may be a little too high in this game.

Bah, we've lost more games at home than on the road.

Subby · 04-21-2008, 08:41 AM

Three straight for us but another double digit turnover game for AlonzTO Mourning. :\

Lathum · 04-21-2008, 11:31 AM

holy crap, I won a game

wade moore · 04-22-2008, 09:41 AM

Wow - we beat Showtime!

This was another big win for us and we're now above .500. If somehow we beat Showtime! this afternoon we're only 1 game behind them. It's going to be hard if we let Malone and Bird both score 30+ again. And we were KILLED on the Offensive boards. We had the same number of defensive boards as them, but they had 19 offensive to our 7 defensive.

Of course, I was looking and apparently we're the worst rebounding team in the league.

chesapeake · 04-22-2008, 10:29 AM

Good game, Wade. Your late defense was the key. I had somewhere around 8 turnovers in the 4th quarter, thwarting any chance at a comeback. I need to find a way to get my guys to take better care of the ball.

I think my depth is really helping me right now. I have a lot of guys that play 15 minutes give or take and give big contributions. It allows me to not overpush my starters and I have guys late that contribute.

Your foul trouble didn't help either btw.

Lathum · 04-22-2008, 03:43 PM

2 in a row!!!

chesapeake · 04-22-2008, 04:37 PM

Round 4 was a little more to my liking. Did you like that technical foul I drew in the 2nd half? Barking at the refs seemed to have kept the foul calls against my guys to a minimum. If only I could figure out a way to do that every game...

Yeah, no kidding.

Again my lack of rebounding was just a problem.. I might have to look at the FA market to deal with that issue.

I saw that there were a number of long-term injuries for several teams -- although nothing quite like this. For those that have guys out, were you playing them for more minutes per game than their respective historical averages?

Radii · 04-23-2008, 12:33 PM

After losing 3 in a row we get a huge win over the Muresan's (that looks odd!), by 3 points, in overtime, on the road. Whew.

Subby · 04-23-2008, 12:37 PM

The help file specifically states that being tired does not lead to injuries.

BUT - being on the floor more does mean that they are more likely to be the one injured when the injury flag checks. The sim then references how durable the player was historically.

Oscar got held down a little, but Tarpley shooting 4-18 really killed us.

digamma · 04-23-2008, 11:50 PM

I have four injuries of double digit games or more. None of the players were playing a ton more minutes than their history. Bad luck, I guess.

And yet we cannot take advantage. Embarassing performance, particularly getting torched by effing Adam Keefe.

wade moore · 04-24-2008, 08:31 AM

We have our first dominating win. El Paso just couldn't do anything and was in pretty heavy foul trouble early that hurt them all game.

chesapeake · 04-24-2008, 04:55 PM

26 offensive rebounds and a +23 rebounding advantage. I didn't think someone could do that to my team with the defensive settings I use. Well done, Lathum!

My 3-point shooting kept me in the game, but it is darn near impossible to win giving up that many second and third opportunities.

Lathum · 04-24-2008, 05:21 PM

Subby · 04-25-2008, 08:47 AM

Muggsy Muresan has rebounded to win 9 of 11 after a rough 3-7 start.

wade moore · 04-25-2008, 11:31 AM

We've been pretty steady.. 5-5 in the first 10 games, 5-5 in the second 10 games.

I continue to play with the gampelan here and there, but have become relativley settled on a couple of different versions of it. The same theme plays true though - our w/l is dependent on how well The Dream plays.
