Look I'm obviously new to this, but shouldn't a team with 2 all stars and great specialist role players who are playing in their favourite style of play be better than this? blake shouldnt be starting...he literally plays no defense for you

I still have 2 guys starting with defense B+ and A- i dont know what theyre numerical ratings are, but the short answer is absolutely not because theyre allowing those other guys to score at will. you are one of the worst teams there arent very many teams worse than you right now because of how bad you are on defense. the difference between the cavs and nets in points allowed is about 1, the difference between your team and the nets is 6. thats a huge gap you have to overcome just to get to the second to worst team in the league

by the way im not trying to come off smug or as a dick. i used to commish the league so i am trying to explain it to you so that going forward you know how it works. YOu also have to look at the numerical grades in the spreadsheet. if you have any questions about stuff id be happy to answer it just send me a pm.

I still have 2 guys starting with defense B+ and A- its mostly dependent on numbers but even then most people are starting players with B to A- range offense and out of position which will further rail you

I mean I'm top 5 in all of 3PT, FG and FT percentages. On defense I'm number one in oppontent TO per game, so I'm forcing a lot of TO which should be good. How can you lead the league in oppontent TO and be the worst defense? Shouldn't more TO mean your players are good defenders? Sure I know I should be the worst team in rebounding. But it should balance out with the TO I'm causing. Plus even tho I've got really bad interior D my outside defense should be above average.

You’d think. I would imagine after 5 min of analysis someone will tell you you’re wrong though

There's a ying and yang between offense and defense. Other teams are probably shooting higher than that against you

Turnovers are a good indicator but oPPG is a more accurate one. You’re need both to be elite. But PJ is right regarding gaps. Look at the gaps between you and the next teams in your statistics. For instance in my case I’m very close in RPG as a team to my second best. However my oRPG is a huge gap. This usually means that I’m an extremely dominant force because other teams are “Stat padding” based off pace. If you run very fast your “gross” numbers will always be high regardless of the efficiency of the numbers

Don't compare yourself against the league, compare your offense against your defense and you will see

The sad truth is this game was made 20 years ago. The nba then was big man centric. You need defense and rebounding to succeed in the game, otherwise you’re going to have to be perfect when shooting.
You’re the worst rebounding team in the league meaning you have very few second chance points. And 47 RPG is extremely low. Couple that with the oPPG and you have a mountain to climb where you have to hope they miss every shot, you make every shot, AND you stop them from second chance points.

I also notice you shoot a league low on FT attempts. I am not 100% on this BUT I think going inside ups the FTA so. Maybe try balanced for a sim or 2? Are you very fast? You also don’t have many blocks which is just a product of talent I imagine. PJ is giving good advice though. You can turn it around

Beat the Nuggets & Heat. Lost to the Lakers, Bucks & Hawks.
Luka is a beast, but we already knew that. He was in the Rookie-Sophomore game & the All-Star game. Zubac got snubbed from the Rookie-Sophomore game
