34-16 ash, what's the change?

The sim isn't doing ridiculous ****.

maybe, but that wouldn't be a change for this sim. It's always doing crazy ****!

Well, I'd love to take credit for some brilliant coaching maneuver, but I made very few tweaks / lineup changes. The team just started simming like it was supposed to do. When you're 2-9 at home & 6-5 on the road with a bunch of guys shooting 5-10% of their rl%, you generally suspect something is off with those home games. A regression to the mean in this case is favorable... and that happened in like 3 of the 5 leagues. Also competition was different during that stretch. As 20ks posted above, I had the 3rd best out of conference record. So it's probably a little from column a, a little from column b.

At the All-Star break...
6 players made the All-Star team in all 5 worlds, but only Wilt and MJ were starters in all 5.
Wilt is leading MVP race in all 5 worlds.

@Cmac... dBKC had Harden starting in all 5 leagues, just saying

No All Star Games for Kawhi, that load management is a killer

Posted by dBKC on 9/13/2020 6:03:00 PM (view original):
I think I figured out how to make my worst team decent. We don’t have Ben Simmons on that squad, and my various PG options weren’t doing much winning, so I moved Steph from SG to PG and put Josh Smith at SG, because if you ignore his eFG%, his 14-15 season (100% SG eff) is actually pretty good as a SG.

85 D, 6.8 ORB%, 17.1 DRB%, 15.7 AST%, 2.9 BLK%, 1.7 STL%, 95%+ at all positions. I was playing him limited minutes off the bench due to his low FG% and high TOs, but lots of losing led to trying him at starting SG and we’re 4-3 since then (8-17 without)

Lets see if it lasts. I need this team to not suck if I’m going to make a run at the crown.

Now we’re 10-6 with Josh Smith at SG and we were 8-17 before I made the switch. This team has the best L10 record in the conference right now and is now only 2GB from the playoffs. I think I can make a push for all 5 teams to make the playoffs thanks to...Josh Smith’s 5th best season (45.6 eFG%)...I don’t really understand it, but it’s workin’

You'll prob be knocking ben out if you manage to get in world 4 playoffs. If you get all 5 in and win 2 leagues, you will be a deserving champ.. Only winning one league will be a much tighter race because there very well could be 5 different league champions. Your head to head matchup with bds in world 2 finals, and our head to head matchup in world 5 conference finals will be the ones to watch for sure. Both needed to secure the overall crown.

Should get a bonus point for each all star appearance.

Of course, I say this because I had two guys make all 5.

Well I just had a reverse birthday (0-5), not a great way to go into the AS break

@Cmac... dBKC had Harden starting in all 5 leagues, just saying

Pex? I didnt even think you knew who I am
heck...

Harden?
him and five Savage 1 all star appearences are the least of my worries. (starting or not)
I dont even like that dude (Harden) - he travels TWICE on every move.....
all that fake a$$ floppin and throwing his head back- geez
almost as bad as watching the Duke Blue Devels flop and swoon


dBKC?
at my spot in the draft - Harden was a good value -
I really didnt want to do it - but thought ..why not
so I attempted to following dBKC game plan
I made no bones about it - Imitation is the highest form of flattery -
and to break script after picking Harden would have been even more foolish

Harden...it wont work out for me as well as it did dBKC...
I was tempted - very tempted to follow my urges to go Gilmore and Anthony Davis -
but I'd traveled down that road with both .
heck, I didn't even know Ash knew who I was either, or that I had a Kentucky fetish,
- he did almost totally nail my going that direction
...

back to dBKC...
I'm going to use a quote from one of Heavy Weight boxings most underrated champions
(Im a HUGE boxing history guy)
Larry Holmes, 'The Easton Assassin"

in the mid 80s, Holmes had almost matched Rocky Marciano all time undefeated streak for HW,
but was upset by bulked up light heavy weight Michael Spinks...
after getting his a$$ whiped, Holmes opined:

"if you really want to get technical about the whole thing, Rocky couldn’t carry my jockstrap.”

Im no Larry Holmes - or Rocky Marciano.... or Michael Spinks.... or even LEON Spinks (but I do have better teeth than Leon)
I'll never be Heavy Weight (Savage) Champion like those dudes

HELL !! - and I cant carry dBKC's JOCK STRAP - and damn sure couldnt fill one out as well as dBKC....

life is tough
Im just trying to reach .500 ....and looking to watch the next Spike Lee film

I’m no Serge Ibaka in that department, but I appreciate you assuming as much.

ah shucks dBKC... we all presumed

after my showing with Harden... George Costanza said it best: I WAS IN THE POOL !

THis has got to be my ALL TIME FAVORITE sports interview...

lol...WOW such a trainwreck -

I wouldnt mention, or clog your thread with it
but for some of you younger guys, it is a reference to my Larry Holmes quote:
and well worth the first 7 minutes (if you like trainwrecks)

gonna beat a great battle in league 5 dBKC, too bad it won't be the finals. bds could possibly win 2 out of the 5 leagues and still not win the crown on points if he only has 3 teams earning in the playoffs.
