The Pick Two Draft Thread

[riah32]

I used default sliders....i took players like yao oden and others that r out fir the year and put them on reserve. As far as results go can't blame me all I do is hit sim will see how it all plays out.

Yeah I think it's pretty cool. If you can upload the rosters, I'd even play as the nets.

I will research it again I may be able to at least upload your team to the original roster and then add that to the 2k share but I'll see if I can do all the rosters tomm when I sim the next month

I'm not sure how the sliders actually affect the way NBA 2k10 simulates games, so it may no matter.  Still, the whole simulation thing can be pretty wacky.

Are you playing this on Xbox 360 or PC?  If it's on Xbox and you can upload the rosters to 2k sports, I'd love to give them a try.

For those of you with stuggling teams if you want your lineups juggled around let me know.

How do you have the Thunder set up?

With Oden out, I'd play my lineups like:

C: Brand / Blatche
PF: Charlie V / (Blatche) / Wright
SF: Durant / (Garcia) / (Charlie V.) / Clark
SG: Morrow / Garcia
PG: Westbrook / Beaubois

By the way, Blatche and Beaubois are making me look brilliant, even if the simulation doesn't appreciate that.

Blatche as a starter (14 games): 20.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 51.7% FG%

Beaubois in March (3 games): 21.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 62.5% FG%

Anthony Morrow is looking pretty good, too (17.5 points per game after the all-star break) but Charlie V. sucks royally.

[Kwhit10]

I know why the Cavs are still stinking it up, they don't have the real NBA refs during this simulation 

[Redz]

Up to the 7th seed for the Pistons 

[PosImpos]

Wow, that was quite a turnaround.  Like I said, sims can be wacky.  

My lineup should be as follows:

Delonte (~33)
Roy (~36)
Mbah a Moute (~30)
LMA (~35)
Shaq (~25)
----
Dampier (~25)
Outlaw (~20)
Walton (~15)
Vujacic (~12)
Price (~10)

[RebusRankin]

What happened to the Celtics? Did we have an injury or something?

[PLamb]

In a sim I can almost understand the Washington 20-10 record because computer sims, especially those on games, are all about offense and not defense

So I can see where Washington is 20-10 because that team is full of offensive players

The Charlotte team I don't see going 20-10

And I still don't get the Magic, Cavs and Raptors struggling like that

But hey, it's just a sim and for fun

Western Conference is starting to round into what I thought all along

LA
Utah
Denver
Memphis
Phoenix
Memphis
San Antonio

I thought these were the better teams there

[Lucky17]

Color me surprised. [Well, not too surprised. Was pretty sure that the sim would favor name-brand players, and not care a whit about team defense.]

Is the East playing the West? How is an entire division playing .500 ball or worse?

Yeah, that's weird.  12 out of 15 Eastern teams are .500 or below; you'd think that more teams would break even by playing their weaker brethren.

Also, how do the Warriors have 10 wins already?   Mad respect to Bass, but I didn't think the Scal / Cardinal combo would get so much love in the sim.

[PLamb]

Also, the New York Knick ownership would like to congratulate their starting PF Zach Randolph on his Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award in December

We are expecting big things from Zach as the season progresses

[Evantime34]

Did you turn injuries off? (if so I wouldn't mind if you did ;-)).

Random NBA question, with the playoff seeding change this year could you have two teams in the same division with the 1 and 2 seed?
