30-Team Control Raptors Association

[bedwardsroy19]

Hey guys, finally decided to start my Association.

I randomly selected my team by going to random.org. I selected a number at random 1-20. If the team got 1-10 they were still an option for my dynasty. If they got an 11-20 they were out.

After 7 rounds of awesome randomness, the Toronto Raptors edged out the Dallas Mavericks as my franchise team!

Looking at the Raptors, I was not extremely excited. With Jonas Valenciunas coming in a year there is a lot of potential with that team, but unfortunately 2011 looks rather bleak.

I decided after much deliberation that I would sim the entire 1st season completely, but still update by making trades/contract extensions and what not.

I have just completed the first season and am about to begin the playoffs, but first I thought I would recap the year that was, 2011.

It only seems fitting that in a season that was 100% simulated the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat meet in the finals and the series goes to 7.

I decided that I am going to watch the final game and take pictures and videos to upload and share!

[Dpauley23]

Looks good! I am interested to hear how free agency goes.

[bedwardsroy19]

It's Half-Time in Miami...

Solid first half of basketball. The Thunder trail the Heat 43-46.

This game has turned into a 1-1 battle between Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade. Wade had 15 in the firs half and Durant led the way with 20.

[bedwardsroy19]

Watching this CPU vs CPU sim made me really feel like I need to share the experience with you guys.

I taped the final 2 minutes... Check it out! (It's probably better to watch on mute)

[bedwardsroy19]
