By the Numbers: 69. The Bucks scored 69 bench points.

Quote of the Game: “For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Parting Shots: The Milwaukee Bucks came out and simply dominated the 76ers in all facets of the game. The Bucks shot 49% from the field to Philly's 38%, outrebounded the Sixers by 24, and recorded 10 more assisted baskets.

The Bucks received solid performances from Brandon Knight and Larry Sanders, but the bench was even more impressive. Rookie SG Fuquan Edwin scored 21 points, had 7 rebounds, and hit all 3 threes in 24 minutes, while rookie C Joel Embiid posted 10 points and 7 rebounds in only 16 minutes. Ramon Sessions had a rich stat line for 24 minutes played: 16 points, 5 rebounds, 8 and assists.

The Sixers had poor performances across the board except for Andrew Wiggins who contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds, and a handful of poster dunks. Nerlens Noel was awful and saddled with foul trouble in his return from injury--he managed 5 fouls in only 9 minutes. Without an effective Noel anchoring the defense, the Bucks got whatever shots they wanted, whenever they wanted them.

This game was the first NBA matchup of Antetokounmpo siblings Giannis and Thanasis. We'll call it a draw; Thanasis posted 8 points, 4 boards, and 2 blocks while Giannis scored 4 points and had 4 boards and 6 assists.

You need to find another scoring option.

Quote of the Game: “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
-- Neil Gaiman

Parting Shots: The 76ers have now sandwiched a 40-point home loss to the Bucks with road wins at San Antonio and Miami.

LeBron James did some typical things in scoring 35 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, but did not get much help from his supporting cast. Shane Battier and Ray Allen were both held scoreless from 3-point range.

MCW was a standout performer for the Sixers with 29 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and a trio of 3's. Carter-Williams also shot 50% from the field and played effective defense on Dwyane Wade, while Tyshawn Taylor covered the Heat PG.

Does your draft class have real named players again this year, or was it just for Year 1? With no college game, I guess it's sorta hard to import players and didn't know if people have created multiple year draft classes or not. Either way it looks like you should be in line for a Top-5 pick with the way your team is racking up wins, so maybe you can land another scorer that way to team with Wiggins.

The 76ers have agreed to send veteran SF Danny Granger to the Boston Celtics for PG Phil Pressey and a 2016 2nd round pick.

Granger has been set back by injuries in recent times, but will back up Jeff Green at the 3/4 in Boston and could potentially fill a 6th man role for the Celtics. Granger has not played yet in the 14'-15' season as a DNP CD in each game.

Pressey is a 2nd year player out of Missouri. Pressey had seen action in 8 games this season, and has career averages of 8.7 MPG, 3.5 PPG, 0.6 RPG, and 1.9 APG. Pressey will add another option to spell MCW along with recently-signed Darius Morris until Nando De Colo recovers from injury.

Dumping Granger's 1 year $3.75MM contract puts Philadelphia at $19.95MM under the salary cap, which is plenty for a max contract.

The Jazz and Suns recently agreed to a trade of Gordon Hayward for Gerald Green.

Hayward was a key cog in Butler University's back-to-back NCAA final appearances and has become a solid wing for the Jazz (and now the Suns). Hayward averaged 17.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 4.0 APG, and 1.8 SPG in 34.3 MPG while shooting 45.7% from the field last season. Hayward has 2 years left on his current contract.

Green was drafted 18th overall out of high school as an athletic freak in 2005, but has only recently become a dependable NBA player. Green averaged 14.5 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 0.6 APG and shot 48.6% from the field last season in 22.4 MPG. Green's contract expires after the current season, and acquiring this contract positions Utah with about $30MM in cap space after this season.

It's uncertain if Utah Jazz fans will ever go to another home game after finishing last in the West last season and then seeing their fan favorite Hayward dealt away. On the other hand, Suns fans are ecstatic with a solid (and underrated) group of Dragic, Bledsoe, and Hayward to build around.

I agree. I should get a high lottery pick.

Yes, there is a good 2015 draft class that's available. I am using it. I am scouting Karl Towns, Jahil Okafor, Cliff Alexander, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Mario Hezonja, Tyus Jones, Terran Petteway, Jerian Grant, and Isaiah Austin at the moment.

This 2015 class was made by the same guy who made the 2014 class I used, so there are no duplicates, even though some of the "2015 guys" may actually still declare for the 2014 draft and so forth in real life.

Just read through the whole thing. Great job so far! Will definitely be following, glad to see someone doing a 2k14 MyGM and not quitting after about a page or less of posts.
