2k18 - 76ers "the process needs results"

A lineup of Fultz/Donic/Simmons/Saric/Embiid is insane. Who do you collapse on? How do you stop that kind of passing, floor-spacing, and unguardable talent? Gonna be really tough. The 76ers need a two-guard who can play long-term with Embiid/Fultz/Simmons ... you could also make the case Fultz IS an SG, in which case you need a point guard who can spot up and knock them down from deep on kickouts. Lots of flexibility on that roster, though.

I have never really fooled with the advanced rotations line up I need to look into that. In my head I have something that I want to do it should work. I need to run a test offseason and find out. Yea With Simmons being able play so many positions along with cap space and 1 or 2 high draft picks gives me so many options. I honestly wanna draft bol bol next year I think that would be cool as I followe his dad as a kid

Back to Back Wins

With Covington back the 76ers picked up 2 wins even if it was against two bad teams its still good to see. The streak could reach as much as 6 games with some winnable games coming up vs the Hornets, Grizzles and Magic.

March 29th Update

Since our last update the 76ers have been playing some really good basketball winning 5 of 7 games. The playoffs are still not likely with 6 games back and only 8 games to go. If your wondering if Robert Covington is going to get paid this offseason well the 76ers have won 6 of 8 since he returned.

Its not all positive news as we entered the 4th quarter up 9 points and ended up losing by 10 points thanks to insane shooting, Simmons fouling out and Jokic going for 30, 11 and 7.

The most exciting win of the year may have been vs the Magic when Peyton missed a free throw and then Covington hit a 3 at the buzzer to send to OT. Simmons would take over in OT for a 4 point victory.

Well, the Magic got in as the 8th seed (surprised!), and the Raptors scored the 1st seed?! Toronto has an easy path to the ECF if they can past the winner of the Hornets/Celtics series. The Cavs/Bucks is the most interesting Round 1 series in the East, while the Rockets vs. Pelicans catch my attention out West -- it's guards (CP3, The Beard) vs Bigs (Boogie and the Brow).

2018 Playoff Recap

The Warriors once again won the NBA finals for the 3rd time in 4 years with a blowout win in game 7.

The Pistons after being the #1 seed all year got a tough draw in round 1 as the Wizards went cold the final 2 weeks to drop to the 7th seed. The Wizards also had some big injuries during the regular season.

The Magic surprised everyone and beat the Raptors in game 5 and made it all the way to the ECF.

The Cavs also got upset by the Wizards in round 2 and it was never much of a series.

The thunder despite having all the star power couldn't make it out of the 1st round.

Man, 2K's sim engine LOVES the Wizards -- it's bizarre, in past years the Wizards always seemed to be bad no matter what you did. This year, they just go the distance ... but they got slaughtered by the West, as any team in the East really would.

Offseason's going to be interesting -- where does Melo and PG13 go? How do the Cavs reload? Is LeBron LeGone?
