Well, I sure have my work cut out for me.
0-4 for the season, average loss by 14.
May have to try a weird lineup or something and hope to get lucky lol.

Ian, updated my starting lineup in the "Sim Changes" thread...basically slide all of Batum/Love/Chandler down one, and put McGee into the starting C position. Huge lineup, trying to exploit some rating matchups somewhere. We're too similar otherwise.
I also updated the "positions" of a few players, you can just go check it in Sim Changes.

Not that I should be giving tips, but the lineup that got you into 7th seed is probably worth sticking with Walt! If there's anything that'll make you lose more, it's twatting about with your lineup  |

If there's anything that'll make you lose more, it's twatting about with your lineup That same lineup that got me the 7th seed got me an 0-4 record against the Blazers...otherwise I wouldn't have even thought about messing with it tbh. I'll just go back to my regular lineup, not that I foresee it doing much good. |

Now I could be wrong because it's 7:30 in the morning and I haven't had coffee, but I'm pretty sure I haven't faced you with your new line-up featuring Chandler, ever this year.

I think you're right...I see/saw McGee and Chandler as fairly similar so I guess I was just struggling thinking it would be any different...but this one worked for one win! |

I am honestly pretty happy we pulled one out against Portland. Not giving up on the guys but this was our worst matchup, with Denver a close second, so I am glad to get the one win haha!

Awesome series Minny! Honestly thought that you were going to take at least 2 games. I appreciate that but I am honestly happy/surprised we took one against you. Matchups are all in your favor. I think we could have made the second round if we weren't playing you but that is the way it feel this year so oh well. Great team you have Clyde, looking forward to your championship! |
