theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 At the start of the playoffs, Burke is still day-to-day. 1st round is against the 8 seed Bulls, who shouldn't be much of a problem with or without Burke. Ah, after game 1 he came back. Great. Here's the final results. 2022-23 ROUND 1 Magic (1) Bulls (8) Bulls Roster Game 1 114 90 Pos Player OVR Game 2 124 86 PG Stacey Chaeney 93 Game 3 97 114 SG Jon McCleod 71 Game 4 115 83 SF Chip Baylor 83 Game 5 115 73 PF Bismack Biyombo 82 Game 6 C Brook Lopez 75 Game 7 6th Luke Bennet (PG) 73 Denotes Home Denotes Winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nets and Knicks made it through Round 1, both winning 4-1. I have Harry Byrd's 4-seeded Pacers. Here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 The Pacers team chemistry is really bad for some reason, so all their players are actually operating at an overall 1 point worse than what's in the chart here. Even so, they have a solid team. Pacers Roster Pos Player OVR PG Damien Terry 87 SG Darryl Burton 86 SF Harry Byrd 95 PF Chad Elliott 84 C Junior Barber 71 6th Russel Westbrook (PG) 78 I don't anticipate any problems though. Chad Elliott is a bad matchup for Gatson, so he ought to go HAM in this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yeah game 1 goes to the Magic. Gatson had 26/10/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I don't usually look at the box scores for round 1/2, or much less post them. But i had to post this one. Game 2 - 131-75. Burke 36/9/1 Goodman 28/11/4 McGuire 25/9/11 Gatson 15/12/5 I think Chad Elliott got hurt, because he didn't play this game. Yeah, strained groin.

Harry Byrd wasn't very effective, shooting under 50% every game and only scoring 20 points once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nets made it through the 2nd round, beating the Knicks 4-0. Here's their roster. Nets Roster Pos Player OVR PG Corey Joseph 76 SG Klay Thompson 86 SF Paul George 82 PF Derrick Williams 93 C Robin Stafford 76 6th Jared Ray 77 I randomly played a game against them during the season, and Klay Thompson went 12-21 from 3PT.

theJ Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 On to the FINALS...tomorrow. Time to watch Survivor reruns with the wife. But as a teaser to tomorrow's finals matchup - we have a match of the 2019-20 finals of the Spurs. Spurs Roster Pos Player OVR PG DAME 92 SG Kawhi Leonard 90 SF Jan Vesely 79 PF Rubens Pessoa 80 C Dale Stanley 80 6th Darius Morris (PG) 74 Dame, Leonard and Dale Stanley are all holdovers from that 2019-20 squad. They no longer have Harrison Barnes, which hurts their chances. Funny thing here - Jan Vesely is my least favorite player in this game. I did a MyCareer and got stuck on his team. He has like a 20 3PT rating, which is absolutely awful, but a 80-90 tendency to take 3s. You could pretty much guarantee that he'd launch 5-6 awful 3PT shots, all misses, every game. I complained to the GM just about every week until they traded him. So i'd like to kill him in this series, specifically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If Burke and Maguire regress at all this year, Gatson may be your highest rated player next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't, it's an embarrassment of riches. I expect they'll regress 1-2 points based on what other aging players around the league have done. I expect Gatson and Goodman to improve 3-4 points based on the curve McGuire and Burke followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
