Final Thoughts (post your lineups and I will tell you how much they suck)
jhsukow - Wilt Chamberlain -- Kevin McHale -- Amare Stoudamire -- Don Buse -- Joe Dumars -- Kemba Walker -- Ersan Ilyasova
Two questions: 1) so you started with the stilt and then decided you didn’t need any more rebounds? 2) Was Kevin McHale really worth that back court? Full suck points awarded
pennsylvania - LeBron James -- Walt Frazier -- Bobby Jones -- Alvin Robertson -- Paul Pressey -- Walt Bellamy - Greg Oden
so what’s the rotation here? Don’t tell me Bobby Jones or Lebron are playing PF - For all these guards do you even have more than 90% assist or 300 made treys? The suck is in effect
jkaye24 - Stephen Curry -- Hassan Whiteside -- Tom Boerwinkle -- Terrell Brandon -- Dirk Nowitzki -- Fat Lever -- Hot Rod Williams
you kind of watered down Steph and Hassan’s super high EFG with Brandon and Dirk’s just ok EFG at significant usage – lower usage guys might have been a better bet there. Still you have some passing and D and ok boards but wait a second, is Hot Rod going to be your SF? Is that what's happening here? Points deducted. Full on sucky
beachhouse - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- Terry Porter -- Anthony Davis -- Charlie Ward -- Serge Ibaka - Kyle Korver - Cornbread!
Looking at your roster choices your defense looks strong but your defensive rebounding seems light and maybe not enough attempts to escape the individual penalty – borderline sucky
samuelyork93 - Michael Jordan -- Andre Drummond - James Harden -- Charles Oakley -- Nicolas Batum -- Toni Kukoc -- Oliver Miller
I find it very difficult to get past my real life aversion to Harden let alone the sim travesty of his 79 defensive rating – I don’t like playing Batum at the 3 but he’s ok and you have enough on the boards to get by – defense pretty good – not the right Mike for my money but I call that a coin flip – only kind of sucky
amerk1180 - Moses Malone -- Manu Ginobili -- Mookie Blaylock -- Carlos Boozer -- Clifford Ray -- Tony Parker -- Eddie Jones
um have we drafted all 5 positions here? I see a perimeter rotation and I see how your bigs might fit together but something’s missing… something I can’t quite place my finger on… something…? Oh wait I see, you have no small forward! It’s right there as big as the nose on my face, there it is – Incomplete suckage
ysw128 - Dwight Howard -- Kevin Love -- Rudy Gobert -- Jason Terry -- Mike Conley -- Lamar Odom - Ty Lawson
like Gobert, Dwight’s good in the sim, Love I think went early – not really inspired by the back court – probably too much suck
cjok1051 - Shaquille O'Neal -- Marcus Camby -- Andrei Kirilenko -- Dana Barros -- Kyrie Irving -- Samuel Dalembert -- Vince Carter
well you’ve got Dana Barros so that’s pretty good right there, but then you added Kyrie and Wince into the mix which kind of dilutes Shaq’s EFG impact – I know you're saying Wince and Shaq will only share the floor for 7 minutes but that means you're only playing Wince 16 minutes? You spent 8m for 16 mpg? Interior D is strong but perimeter D is meh unless you bring more Wince but Wince pulls attempts from Shaq – it’s official, we have a suck conundrum on our hands
longtallbrad - David Robinson -- Elton Brand -- Gary Payton -- Mel Daniels -- Doug Christie -- Jordan Farmar -- Cole Aldrich
I think Cole Aldrich pushes this one over the cliff – sometimes it’s just a chemistry thing – let’s see defense, rebounding, passing, usage – maybe a little light on EFG – only slightly sucky
milest - Chris Paul -- Klay Thompson -- Willis Reed -- Anthony Mason -- Robert Parish -- Roy Tarpley -- Cory Alexander
what kind of monster drafts Roy Tarpley in the 6th round!? You suck! But your team’s actually not bad – maybe a little light on attempts in terms of the individual penalty but otherwise not enough suck for my liking
dh555 - Karl Malone -- Donyell Marshall -- Clyde Drexler -- Derek Harper -- Buck Williams -- Blake Griffin -- Nate McMillan
this is like one of my teams where before the season starts I just feel so sure they’re going to kick *** but once Scott gets his hands on things they go south liquid quick – good balance, maybe a little light on the boards (not quite 40, not quite 90) – as you said yourself good at most things but not great at any one thing – only slightly sucky
jcred5 - Larry Bird -- Bill Russell -- Dikembe Mutombo -- Brent Barry -- Kirk Hinrich -- Kenneth Faried -- Brandon Rush
in all seriousness the right Larry has a usage of 30.2 – that’s 6 points of usage – the right Russell, Barry, Mutombo seasons combine for 2.5 additional points and then (I won’t say right) the Hinrich season you’ll use is another 2 pts so that’s 10.5 points – in theory enough to escape the team penalty but I’d wager that if you divided your attempts drafted by your minutes drafted and multiplied that number by 5 and then multiplied that number by 48 you would get nowhere near the 95-100+ attempts you’ll be putting up in game play – which means hello individual penalty -- otherwise ok D, a little light on the offensive boards, decent passing but too much sucking
vancem - Dennis Rodman -- Julius Erving -- Pat Ewing -- Jose Calderon -- Karl Anthony Towns -- Jameer Nelson --Jonas Valanciunas
not bad, not a lot floor stretching – maybe a minus 1 setting? Great D (a couple matadors to cover for but you have the pieces to do that) – how do you get ValanCHEWnus from that spelling? That’s messed up – I don’t think your team sucks so maybe that means it sucks a lot?
thomcat - Charles Barkley -- Hakeem Olajuwon -- Jerry West -- Mark Price -- Terry Tyler -- David Lee -- JJ Reddick
disqualified on account of big red F-ing Xs – full suck awarded
eleibowitz - Dwyane Wade -- Bill Walton -- Shawn Kemp -- Andre Iguodala -- Andrew Bogut -- Robert Horry -- Eric Bledsoe
stupid team, I don’t like it – defense is good, passing ok, decent scoring balance around Wade – Robert Horry as a starter? I guess he’s ok, sort of like an A- Larry Sanders! ? I don’t like your team but I can’t quite put my finger on why – it just kind of gives me a headache when I think about how it fits together – it’s like an alien artifact – I think it might not suck at all
uptowngbv - Kevin Durant -- Steve Nash -- Deron Williams -- Tree Rollins -- George Hill -- Spencer Heywood -- Dan Gadzuric
I’m putting myself in your shoes here – it’s the 6th round, you have a **** ton of assists, your EFG game is strong, D is just ok but not terrible, Williams can cover for Nash, Tree brings a big stick in the middle – you need some boards for sure but then you go ‘hey let’s take 4 pts of 49% efg usage and let’s just lock that in for 45 minutes a game’? – I still don’t know how I feel about that – indeterminate suckage
hoopsdude - Artis Gilmore -- Oscar Robertson -- Pau Gasol -- Kevin Johnson -- Cedric Ceballos -- Paul Pierce -- Chris Bosh
I don’t get why the Bosh pick screwed you but I’ll take your word for it. I won’t point out that Pau and the Truth (not to mention Bosh himself) both have a lot of useful seasons at various salary levels because why help out the competition? What I will say is that you fell into the trap of drafting a big board lord early and then not really providing him with a lot of help and your defense leaves a little to be desired – your team kind of sucks
jt7king - Tim Duncan -- Chauncey Billups -- Alonzo Mourning -- Danny Green -- Larry Sanders! -- Charlie Edge -- Enes Kanter
Strong D, enough passing to stay out of the penalty, good EFG and scoring balance – points deducted for using a player in an aesthetically displeasing fashion takes this from only kind of sucky to full on
mikee1 - Jason Kidd -- Scottie Pippen -- Tyson Chandler -- Horace Grant -- Carmelo Anthony -- Ray Allen -- Bird Man
I really liked your team right up to the point where you took Carmelo and forced Ho Grant to play the 4 – I get why you took a big usage guy, you definitely needed one because up to that point it was Scottie and the 3 dwarves in terms of usage but maybe you could have found a big with 4 or 6 points of usage and more boards with at least similar EFG? And while Shuttlesworth is a great pick up in the 6th I’m not sure you can get value from him without forcing Scottie to play minutes at the 3 spot which nerfs his value similarly to way drafting Melo nerfed Horace’s value – nerfing value sucks
copernicus - DeAndre Jordan -- Draymond Green -- Chris Webber -- Rajon Rondo -- Chris Mullin -- Paul Westphal -- Arvydas Sabonis
going to get some individual penalty action and the team already turns the ball over a bit – not a perfect PF/FTA ratio – perimeter D just ok (but interior D good) + fouls + turnovers (are amongst the most aberrant stat categories game to game) +/_ Scott’s statistical suppression ‘jinx’ = sucktastic (I'm going to have games where I lose because I turn the ball over 30+ times and you go to the line 40+ times - I know this and yet it still drives me absolutely bats - life is not fair)
slymonium - Magic Johnson -- Kevin Garnett --Tracy McGrady -- Joakim Noah -- Emeka Okafor -- Kris Humphries -- Jamal Tinsley
maybe the best team on the boards in the league, nice assists to maybe offset the mediocre EFG of your highest usage dudes (which might be your downfall?) – solid D throughout – I’d use a different Buck but that’s me – I’d say your team hardly sucks at all
bds9992 - Anfernee Hardaway -- Ben Wallace -- Kobe Bryant -- Larry Nance -- Yao Ming -- Andrew Bynum -- Marvin Williams
I think there’s a way to build around Kobe and have some success in this league but it probably doesn’t involve putting a shoot first PG next to him. Strong start on defense – maybe a little light on assists and offensive rebounds, plugging in a non-hideable 57 D in the 5 spot in this league is not ideal – let the suck-a-thon begin!
maglor1 - John Stockton -- Shawn Marion -- Marques Johnson -- Gerald Wallace -- Bob Lanier -- Al Horford -- Jeff Teague
so I know you said you were thinking about a different Marques but then you went and drafted Gerald Wallace who is pretty much a different version of Marion w lower efg so we’re right back at redundant again – sort of like drafting Wilt and coming up short on boards you drafted Stockton and then 3 guys who average single digit as% numbers – Stockton himself is just about enough and Lanier in the right season is good for another 12+% so you’re ok w assists but you could have been much more than OK – suck redundancy achieved
banditone - Bob McAdoo -- Kawhi Leonard -- Maurice Cheeks -- Jerry Lucas -- George Gervin -- Rick Barry -- Chris Gatling
So you’ve got McAdoo, Kawhi, Mo Cheeks and Jerry Lucas – you’re on to something special I think, solid defense, great EFG, about 75% deBoarding, somewhere between 45-52% assists (depending on which Mo season you’re using) and about 10 points of usage – playing your guys at ‘sim natural’ positions your 3 spot is open – I would say you need 2-4 points of usage at good efg, at least 10% more assists, and at least 15% more deBoarding% to solidify your starting unit -- my question to you is: which Iceman season is that? because I don’t see it on my draft screen – I do see a single digit Drb%/single digit as% dude who takes 1900 shots in less than 3000 minutes shooting the lowest EFG of any of your starters – If I were a betting man that’s where I’d say you drove it right off the road – but what do I know? I suck
