That one team I was speaking about is my world 4 team is getting out rebounded by 3.3 per game & is averaging 20.4 fouls per game. Pre-season weights were 128.1% crb & 16.29 fouls per 48.

My 5 team turnover rate was 11.7%. I'm losing the turnover battle in every world except one.

We have the second fewest tos in the league. Unfortunately, we can’t generate any.

We just suck across the board. 5-15 in the last 20 has sunk us like a freaking stone.

I didn't think it'd be great, but I'm didn't think it'd be this bad. It's like I didn't even draft high rebounds, low turnovers, and low fouls. The sim is just doing whatever the **** it wants it seems like.

Going off of what you posted a couple pages back, your fouls and rebounding seem to be at least within the realm of where I would expect... but the TO% seems way out of line. I would expect it to regress to expectations soon enough.

Rob may be able to remember this as he's so good with the spreadsheet, but I looked at your TO's ash and you're 16.5 per 100 which I think is generally pretty good, but you're middle of the pack for the league. I wonder in the past if ~ 16.5 TO's per 100 would have been top 5 and that more owners are realizing it's not just defense, rebounds and eFG.

Also, it's early. Again off memory but the league seems to be shooting better too. average is about 56%TS. My team was doing so bad with rebounds on a couple teams that I pivoted and gave KG and Willis Reed SF mins at like 94% just to get a boost.

Due to the ice storm, computer and internet access has been spotty the last 48 hours. I can try and post league averages when I get reliable access.

I would say you kind of have to take all the numbers with a grain of salt until a full round of out of division and out of conference play takes place. Division play weighing too heavy right now and a tough division draw could really be skewing a team’s numbers.

Absolutely, and also the earlier in the season, the more of an impact a huge blowout or an outlier stat will have just because there's fewer games to balance that out.

These are the things I tell myself.

Holy ****. It was 27 four days ago here and 83 today. What in the hell is going on in the world?

Apparently my divisions are hard af.

Was considering picking up Looney in my yahoo fantasy league and saw he was only eligible at C

That’s so silly. I firmly believe any of us could be amazing NBA coaches. Take the 15-win Pistons, for example. Put Bagley at SG, Beef Stew at SF. Spacing will be fine with Ivey at PG because then other teams would think twice about going (-3) on them. Boom, they’re champions.

Have you ever wondered about good a well trained octopus would be as a goalie in soccer? Nine brains and eight arms…..how could anyone not be on board with that?

Probably better suited as a hockey goalie...
