LOL. -3 in the first half, -5 in the 2nd.  Owned. Perhaps it was the stellar defensive ratings of 23 and 39 which caused my guards such a poor shooting night.

Do you do anything besides complain?  First, the new recruits aren't up to your standards.  Second, they've "overkilled" the FCP.  Third, the -5/slowdown is back.  Blah, blah, blah.................Waaaa, if it's that bad, find a new hobby.
It's not even that he complains alot, because truthfully, there's a lot to complain about these days. But his complaints are almost always off-the-mark.

I'd just like to mention that this thread is two pages deep and there's not a single post by swampy poo.  It's truly amazing.  The new engine really does work!

Look how few threes you shoot; what did they have to lose by minusing you?

And. .um. . their guards have a d rating of 91 and 28,  not 23 and 39.
I shot 14 3's and made 3 of them, with very good shooters, against poorly rated defenders.  Clearly, shooting MORE 3's was the answer?

Secondly, His wings  were DEF 23 and 37(against my 2 very good shooters) so  I actually gave them more credit than they deserve.   The 91 is his PG, who wasn't guarding either of those players I was referring to.

His PG wasn't guarding my 2 or 3.

You said guards, not wings.  And guards was what I responded to.  You might have MEANT wings, but its not what you said.


Your small forward may be a 'wing' but he is not a guard.

A SG isn't a guard?  Interesting development.

All you've proven to me in following me around in these threads is you know next to nothing about actual basketball and still think you are right in the face of facts to the contrary.

I guess you get credit for being stubborn.

Daalter's alternate reality basketball  world:
-Greg Ostertag Big men
-Guards that cannot rebound
-Fluke games are not the engine's fault, only the players.

1. True, but mainly because they made the recruits WORSE than the last engine.

2. I was putting the question up for debate and said myself I thought they overdid it a little, I guess generating discussion on something=complaining.

3. Who knows what the reason was, but you can't say the game turned out any other way than a complete fluke based on the ratings.

YOu said "My guards"  Not "My shooting guard and my small forward"  Your 'Guards' would be your point guard and your shooting guard. . . .you aren't making any sense here.  Your first post you said:

"Perhaps it was the stellar defensive ratings of 23 and 39 which caused my guards(plural) such a poor shooting night. "

Good retort that did an excellent job packing up your claims.

Oh ...wait.

I've forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever know. You continue to *****-and-moan about the same BS, off-the-mark issues, undeterred by the fact that lots of people who actually know what they're doing keep trying to explain to you that you're being silly.

You keep ******** because you think centers should be fast. OK.

And I've posted more times about problems with the engine than you've posted total, so saying that I think nothing is the engine's fault is just ludicrous. But your examples, as usual, are terrible ... like claiming that you lost because of the -5 when your team actually performed much better while your opponent was playing the -5. Classic stuff.
