Congrats to the final 4.. I'll be simming both final rounds and the lotto tomorrow night about mindnight to 1230 eastern time. Be there!
I have probably another 30 players to add to the file but mostly role type guys..
I'm also leaning towards making mitch richmonds inside B-

Beat the kings in 6 games, it helped by moving Drew to small forward to defend Wilkes and Dantley to shooting guard to score against Pierce. Switching those two players around was the smart thing to do if we wanted to win. Now we are against our NBA conference rivals the Braves. Good luck and let the best NBA team win the title.

Pretty much a big dick move to switch the DC in the last minute by Detroit...Nothing against the rules though, so I have to live with it...But still that shows zero class..
At least I can say I lost un-fairly..

At least I can say I lost un-fairly.. Not last minute, almost 10 minutes before the sim to be exact. I already wanted to use that DC to beat you, I just didn't want you to see it early so you can make a counter. I don't think it's any different than what people do at a live sim and make DC changes. Ask anyone else, everyone does it. |

gave it our best shot with settings we hadn't used all year. Forced Gervin to always be guarding an option, and held him to 3 points under his season average and 45.6% shooting compared to 49.5% shooting in the regular season. Doc went down, but Valentine played well for him. In the end, we didn't have enough fire power with Mick's minutes being cut.
Cliff had a good series: 22.8 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 2 spg
So did Woodson: 21 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2 spg on 48%
Good luck Kentucky.

The Rumours were true, John Stockton opting not too sign right away might of caused some turmoil behind the scenes...
Need too resign him this offseason for sure, Bucks ...good first round series, would like to see those box scores.
Braves...Some questionable officiating with Moses getting fouled out early in two Braves blow outs...Kept it close the rest of the series...Larry Nance pretty much owned Dominique, only real consistance I had was from John Stockton...Come Back..
Congrats, Better team won, think I stood alot better chance when I had the leading shot blocker at the time..Artis Gilmore...gotta do what you think is best though...
Goooood luck too all of you
really anyone but the Stars. nothing against your organization...just your SG.

went down 3-2 to the ABA's finest before my stars MJ and Pat took over on the defensive end, led us to a win in game 6, and held off a surging Magic to pull of a 1 point win in game 7. wow. one of those FBB games i wish i could have watched. great series Spurs
MJ is up to 3.7 steals a game and Pat is swatting 3 a game in the playoffs. just what i needed from my #1's
now up against familiar rival Colonels, hopefully MJ can stay hot going head to head against the Ice Man. good luck Dal
same final 4 as last year, congrats to everyone else who made the repeat

At least I can say I lost un-fairly.. Honestly, I have no idea why playoff DCs have to be POSTED in this league. Zero. It takes so much from the game and basically benefits the better (or should I say favourite) teams. Pretty much every other league (sans LBA) sends PMs to the simmer and only there you can use individual tactics and surprise lineups to your advantage. (not sure if it was here or LBA, but I think I proposed it to the league already and got rejected) And I agree to a certain extent it's unfair, but only if not everyone has the same opportunities (like us europeans who simply can't attend live sims at 5am). Could you have made last second changes as well ? |

as for the other series: unbelievable the Spurs messed up once again. that's like the third time in as many seasons they were heavily favoured ... and got eliminated. clearly a team built for the reg season ... Unfortunately, I don't think the Jazz bold moves this season got them any closer to the top ... or a better future for that matter. I just hope my slower rebuilding effort is more successful in the end. But of course, the Braves are the anti-Spurs, always move into a higher gear come playoff time. Didn't see the Pacers give the Colo's that much of a fight ... but if i remember we did the same last year as heavy underdog ... and lost as well. Congrats for coming through ... And the Pistons/Kings series proved that team depth IS a great thing. Unfair or not, a Kings win would have been a MAJOR upset ... but if they manage to grab home court next year wit ha full season of McHale it will look different. Congrats and good luck to the CF's. Bold predictions: Pistons over Braves in 6 Colonels over Stars in 5 Pistons over Colonely in 5  |

Ya I wish I could sim earlier, but with children gotta help the wife get them all squared away before I can sim. That said kings did know the time I was simming and could have been there to counter. He justed missed the sim to cause he was on the boards as it was first uploaded. There were some good series non the less. Should be a great final four.

Should be a great final four. but still, prez, then you play ping-pong changing DCs and the one who's online last wins. not exactly realistic - or desireable. think about it: no coach in the world would make his strategy public BEFORE an important game ... ... and we WOULD HAVE the "tools" so we don't have to as well. Why not use em ? |

There's nothing saying that you couldn't post multiple dcs depending on moves or even pm me if your concerned about a certain match up. We will never go to just pms for playoff depth charts but there are options out there. Frankly its best to be at the live sim but I do know that's tough for most people cause of the time.

was the sim live? sucks if it was cause i had nothing to do.
anyways, the entire KC/Detroit thing is really unfortunate, but you really can't blame Detroit, Gus.
Look, whoever posts last has the advantage. So if Detroit didn't change his DC, you had the advantage by posting second, just as Detroit stole that advantage by reposting right before the sim.
I don't think you can call it a dick move. Maybe a solution would be to post: I want player X guarding player Y, whether player Y is playing shooting guard or small forward.
THat's how it works in the NBA. ITs not like if the Suns put SHaq at PG on their "depth chart" the Lakers would use Fisher to guard him, Bynum would be guarding him no matter what "position" the Lakers announced or claimed he was playing.
Good luck to the Final Four. I'll take the Stars.
