horseshoes and hand grenades, wandmtribe, means, imo, almost make the playoffs... why do i say that?... boards. on paper, drob and the doc have boards to spare, but in the sim engine, they don't produce like you'd expect. their dreb% is in mid 20's... which means, u'r gonna have a lot of 8 and 9 board games from those two, who get little help from the swingmen who shoot the three's.

emp... i said a usage problem early in the draft because of wades and pierce's big usage numbers... each at 30+, then pippen's 22-something and naters 18 or so... that totals to about 100 with a pg to draft... this all might be moot now since u drafted skiles, and i can't recall what his is... so, forget the usage thing. lol. boards are gonna be a little issue maybe. who knows. but i like your team, like the small ball concept. love wade and pierce!

Skiles is around 18-21 usg%, depending on the season.

My usage will pretty definitely be high, also, since I completely overlooked how high Hedo's is (around 25). But I committed this team to running the second I drafted Billups, so I'll throw caution to the wind and let the dogs out.

Scud, thanks for the compliment. . .I've started simming my probable lineup in the dream team simulator against one of your teams I found, scud . . . . I won't say how they've been doing. ; )

We'll see what comes up in the draft, with all those 2 player picks between now and then, who knows what's going to happen.

just having some fun

too much boards, and not enough assists?

too much style, and not enough substance?

too much chemistry, and not enough scoring?

cap... too much winning (sheesh)

lol - just having fun while I slog through the mind-numbing paperwork I'm catching up on today.

Does anyone ever run slowdown offense ?

I have 5 starters above 80 DEF, exactly 10 usage points, and above 30 % Oreb... Plus a couple guys who tend to foul too much. Wonder if it is worth a try ?

I tried it recently with a team in amerk's blacklist league . . record when i was running slowdown at the beginning of the season: 3-12. Record running Halfcourt, and eventually Uptempo: 40-27. I missed the playoffs by one game.

Use caution, and be prepared to dump it asap.
