Not sure, but 690 ft's on 1571 shots seems pretty high to me, and remember the name of the team I'm playing against.
3/1/2014 9:58 PM
It's pretty high, but not that high.  14.4% of his possessions ended with him on the stripe.  Same as Wade.  For comparison's sake  89-90 Mailman is at 17.2%.  66-67 Wilt is 20.2%. 87-88 Barkley is 20.8%.  07-08 Dwight Howard is 24.2%.  Remember 96-97 Karl Malone is not Karl Malone - he's a block of statistical data.

Also, you're a very midrange team.  You don't have much extremes for paint or perimeter.  Fouls are the whackiest part of the sim: the hardest to control, the hardest to exploit yet is often the most overlooked part of building a squad (evidence: drafting 2300 fouls - seriously wtf).

Nonetheless, I still agree; it's absurd.

why do the two teams above combine for 56 turnovers? neither team is pressing, only a couple of the participants (Nashie I'm looking at you) are particularly turnover prone, there certainly isn't a ton of stl% on either squad (this is the no D theme league) and there's plenty of usage to go around so both squads should be avoiding those penalties -so why? a:because

and don't get me started on the FTA disparity

Not sure what you mean about extremes Ash?  I drafted about 1500 3's, to go along with Karl and Moncreif who shoot almost none.  Murphy, Donyell and Anderson give me a ton of outside shots.  On the flip side, he drafted only about 700 3's.

It's not about losing or even if this team is great or not.  It's about a road team full of hackers winning the FT battle that shouldn't even be close.

just out of curiosity, y did u run slow down that game?
3/2/2014 4:42 PM
I was trying to counter his ridiculous fg% and make the possession battle go more strongly in my favor.  I still managed to turn the ball over 28 times running slowdown, though, so it didn't work.  At all.  I did hold him under 60% though!!

ummm you didn't get the home series because we had the same record, but I beat you 2/3 times during the reg season.  We had the same div record, but I had a better conf record.  Not sure why your team is listed as 4th.  and I'm not trying to put down your team, I like the defensive concept and you did a great job with them.  Kudos if you win.  I'm just shocked at the foul weirdness.

1500 3's is 1500 3's.   What does that have to do with my guys fouling the opp a ridiculous amount while the opp fouls much less than they should in 2 straight games?
