Just played Jimbo...you got the win man, but yuck! I was laughing by the end as the last quarter was funny as. Drive, drive and dish, or pick and roll. That's it. Mostly with Gay. You'd even call the same pick and roll 3 times on 1 possession if it didn't work 1st time! Not to mention I simply tried to move to the baseline cause I knew where the drive was going to go. But, I couldn't stop it. You've never been that bad against me before.
On the plus side, your D was great! Blocks a plenty. I found open looks but simply couldn't punish you as I have lost track of how to shoot with my guys.
On my side of things, I simply have forgotten how to play with Martin online as I now play with him offline. He was 0/13 from the field at 1 point, and this was 75% open shots that I would usually drill (I shoot it at ~55% with Martin usually). Mo was quite the same. I did in the end start forcing things more which is why they both ended up with double figure 3pt attempts, and Martin got blocked maybe 3 times in a row at 1 pointLooks like I'll probably have another early playoff exit here when we finally get there cause like S1, the long time between drinks means you lose track of you team and how to use them. And now we're trying to get S3 happening? I'll have to not play a S3 game until S2 playoffs are done to even have hope. Either that or I'll have to stop playing offline at all again!

I mean if my guys were 6/20 from 3 let alone 6/30 I would stop shooting it and find other ways to score. But that's your choice at the end of the day. I'll take the win.
LOL
Sorry you felt that way Ben. The multiple screens I called was when my guy was setting the pick too low. I think you're being a bit harsh, you must have forgotten what I played like in Season 1 when Iguodala averaged 35 PPG and I scored over 80% of my points in the paint.
I don't think 52/75 in the paint is horrible, but whatever. Brooks is my second leading scorer in this season with 22.8 PPG but I couldn't get his shot going in that game. He scored just 4 points on 2/9 FG's and 0/4 from deep. So I wasn't going to keep chucking it up. Jefferson wasn't hitting well either on his shots (only 2/8 and 0/5 in the 1st quarter) so I stopped going to him. I also hit a couple of three's with McGrady. Yes Gay is my primary slasher.
It was a low scoring game because shots weren't dropping so had to grind it out defensively and pounding the ball into the paint.
When I could get points on the break I did. I'd point more to the fact that I out-rebounded you by a +15 margin, out-scored you by +10 on fast break points and you're guys shot 6/32 from the perimeter (18.75%) for the game for the loss. I mean if my guys were 6/20 from 3 let alone 6/30 I would stop shooting it and find other ways to score. But that's your choice at the end of the day. I'll take the win.
But 3's are so much more satisfying
I love dropping treys all game![]()
Oh I know you killed me in all those stat categories, and I wasn't too off put about the game by 3 quarter time as you were doing a variety of things while still attacking the paint. But the last quarter you changed it up. Not saying I would have won otherwise, and in fact I'm not mentioning the fact that I lost 1 bit! Had I won I would still be saying this. And neither am I worrying/mentioning the fast breaks. Those are just part of the game.
Yes, I know Tmac hit some shots, yet you'd expect him to. I played 2-3 zone all game so the wings were wide open the entire game. So no, 52/75 (52/70 if you take a FTs) isn't absolutely terrible on paper, but with open wing shooters the entire game taken into account as well?
And yes, worse than you're Iggy/76ers days, believe me.
Really enjoyed my comeback game against jimbo!
Its been a while but i was thrilled with the balance of my roster!
Enjoyable to play with thats for sure!
Is season 3 all booked out i presume?
