36-40

One third of the season is done!

Injuries......One big one. JO out 60+.Ben Gordon, MRR,LBJ,Caron and Dixon all out most or all fo this sim.

East...Knicks have the lead, with the Heat 1.5 back. Wizards, Nets and Magic are all clumped together in the middle. Magic have to hope the return of Bill Laimbeer helps. Celtics have won 7 of 10 and now stand at .400. Sixers are still bringing up the rear as they shoot for Nique or Worthy.

Central...Raps are out in front, best division in the East. Bucks, Hornets, and Bulls are all over .600. Top 4 teams in the East are in the Central. Pistons are 15-12 and should have a real hard time with no JO. Cavs have won 5 straight. Pacers and Hawks are in the bottom of the division, but both are .500.

Midwest...TWolves lose 4 straight, but are still in first. The Spurs improbable season continues as they are now 15-12, and have won 7 of 10. Utah and Houston are 3rd and 4th. Memphis is still playing better then earlier in the season, while the Mavs and Nuggets are struggling mightily.

Pacific...Warriors are on fire, now at 17-9. Lakers are in 2nd after winning 3 straight. Everyone else in the division is playing horribly, including the Blazers who just cant seem to win.

they r killing me

[GMHornets]

Wow, our entire division over or at .500?

[GMHornets]

And I just noticed the top-3 teams in the entire league are in the Central, none of which are the Bulls or Pistons. Haven't been able to say that, uh, ever.

1-1 with a one point loss to the lakers, Yi has been a nice pickup.

[Lakers GM]

Very good sim from Marbury and both Crawford's. Sam Williams is playing pretty well in his minutes, so is Diogu. JBC should've played a lot better, imo. Beat three teams who are around my talent level, lost to the Bulls. Nice recovery sim, but I'm still only 2.5 games ahead of the last-place team.

[C.C.]

Perfect 5-0 sim.

- Bynum played really well. (put up 20/15 and 23/12 on back to back nights)
- Hansbrough scored 22 in his second game vs the Nets, and then 19/11 @ Boston.
- Baron won POW and POM once again!

Went 4-0 and have now won 6 of 8 since the lineup and tactic changes. We squeaked by the Sonics and Hornets and pummeled the Hawks and JO less Pistons.

McRoberts and Oden like the new offense and just killed people inside. McRoberts must have been happy after signing his extension, averaging 25.5ppg, 15.2rpg, 2.2bpg & shot 53.2% from the field while Oden averaged 21.2ppg, 14.8rpg, 2.8bpg & got to the line 12.8 times per game.

Gordon and Andre also had a good week with Gordon averaging 21.2ppg, 5.5rpg, 4.5apg & 1.5spg, while Miller averaged 17.2ppg, 4rpg, & 10.5apg

1 Game today, got a big win. McHale was excellent.

We're still kinda wallowing in mediocrity, though, at 11-11. Progress is being made, but it's slow.
