NBA 2012-13 Back to the Future League (1 Viewer)

31-10 at the break, tied for the lead in the toughest division in the league. Durant well on his way to MVP.

 
My team is STILL playing .500 ball after our opening 6 game swoon. No all stars, primarily because Joe Johnson is the suck. Thought Tristan Thompson's 13/11 might do the trick but no.

 
Thinking if we do another of these we do a decade so that there are more big stars. Or is it even worth the time?
I think it's worth the time to do the Back to the Future league again next year. I think WIS is decent enough that it's been more about who drafted the best players than exploiting the sim.

Not sure if it's worth doing more historical basketball drafts. Maybe an 80s or 90s NBA draft would be fun. If you go past that, the sim is pretty lousy with its normalization and estimated stats.

Yes, I just need someone to remind me not to spend my 1st two picks on guys who can only give me 19 minutes per game - combined.

 
I feel like I have a better idea of what I am doing now. I would be in again

I've lost 5 in a row and am getting stomped. Not sure why. I had won 6 of 7 or something like that before this nose dive

 
It would be nice if you could offer trades on the site. I'd spend a lot of time each day making offers and I'm sure others would too. Also it would be nice if it played one game per day. As it is, we will be done in a month.

This season can't end soon enough for me. :D

There's also the playoffs (which I'll enjoy viewing from afar) so it'll be more than a month.

That is weird. I know you can in the baseball leagues, not sure why they don't have the same ability to do it in the basketball ones.

 
Durant with a triple double in a loss to one of the league's bottomfeeders, TRE.

I'm 33-11 and 5-6 of my losses are to the bottom 4-5 teams in the league it seems.

 
Dragic with 29/11 and makes the "CONTESTED THREE POINT SHOT" at the buzzer to win.

Joe Johnson still worthless.

 
Joe Johnson broke 20points in a surprising win against the Kevin Martin lead Ucks. Johnson finished 6 for 21 for 21 points in the win. :hifive:

My team is the cure for whatever ails you. Just ask Tim.

Losing Bazemore for a week has really put a damper on the locker room - he was a great "energy" guy for us.

So 6 games left in the season (3 days). Here's how the playoffs are looking.

East

Arsenal - 65-11 - locked up top seed

Jomar - 56-20 - clinched playoffs,

Sparty On - 54-22 - clinched playoffs

JJ Berea - 53-23 - clinched playoffs

Az Ron - 34-42

Tupsiders - 32-44

Acer - 31-45

Tre - 29-47

Kev - 26-50

West

8ebok24 - 58-18 - clinched playoffs and bye

Jag - 53-23 - clinched playoffs

Coyote - 49-27 - clinched playoffs

Yo Mama - 46-30 - clinched playoffs

Mambas - 43-33

Frankowski - 39-37

Jux - 39-37

No 16 - 37-39

So each conference has last 2 playoff spots and 1 bye up for grabs.

Does the playoffs start right after the season ends? Do the minutes work the same way?

It's down to the wire in the West too. I don't know how my team could manage to give up 143 points to the Goat Herder when we should be fighting for our lives for the last playoff spot. Gonna need to fire my coach after the season. Good thing I get to play the Ucks in the last game.

 
This was really fun, but the luster wore off once it became clear my team was awful. It really, really would be cool if the site had a trading platform built in. I can't help but think that making transactions easier would have made it a bit more fun.

I'm pretty sure it does have a trading platform. Did you try the GM's office?

I don't think it was in there. I looked for a while one day because my team was awful and I needed to make a trade.

Probably an f up on the commissioner's part then. :unsure:

I'll forgive you.

 
So minutes are re set to pre season. That really hurts me. But I don't expect to beat the top guns anyway.

 
So did I make the playoffs?

;)

Good luck to those who did. I'll try and do a better job drafting if we do this again.

 
Heck of a game 1 between AZ Ron and I (JJ Barea holds on for the win, 106-104). I found this interesting in the play-by-play:

0:43 Ray Allen misses short on a 3pt jumper from the left wing. 102 - 103

0:42 Brook Lopez corrals the offensive rebound. 102 - 103

0:31 LeBron James mishandles it out of bounds. 102 - 103

0:24 102 - 105 Kemba Walker buries a jumper from the left side with the assist by Jrue Holiday.

0:20 Brook Lopez's turnaround from 8 ft is denied by LaMarcus Aldridge.

102 - 105 0:19 Brook Lopez tips it up and in. 104 - 105

0:16 104 - 105 Jrue Holiday is fouled by Brook Lopez on the floor. Foul #4 on Brook Lopez, team foul #5.

0:16 104 - 106 Jrue Holiday makes FT 1 of 2. Jrue Holiday misses FT 2 of 2.

0:15 LeBron James wins the battle for the rebound. 104 - 106

0:00 LeBron James's jumper from the left block is tipped away by Greg Monroe. 104 - 106

I guess we better take the Spurs +5.5 tonight.
