      Re: Through The Storm: A St. Louis Story



      Ch. 49

      We finished the month of December in a place we had never been before — first. First in our division and first in the West with a 12-5 record. We weren’t exactly a whole team either — we were down Delly, down Young, and two games after we lost Young, we lost Demarre Carroll with a broken foot. The injuries were taking a toll on us early and it wasn’t just us; the rest of the league was suffering, too.






      With Carroll out for 2-4 months, basically half the season at least, we were going to be forced to play some guys we weren’t exactly sure were ready. AJ Hammons, our deep center, was going to suit up and step in. We were going to be moving Gbinije back to the bench as we needed his versatility off it to replace what Junkyard Dog would have given us, which meant Ennis was moving into a starting role.

      Ennis hadn’t been horrible; in fact, he had been judicious. Only averaging 5.2 PPG with 5.5 APG on 50 percent shooting from the field, he wasn’t jacking up shots and wasn’t forcing things. He seemed to understand where he was in the pecking order and he had been playing well enough.

      Make no mistake — we needed Young back sooner rather than later and we definitely needed Delly back as soon as possible, but we weren’t totally *ucked yet. One or two more major injuries, though, and we knew we’d be in for a long *ss season.

      But the team’s luck wasn’t causing anyone to hang their heads and cry. Our first game of December, we took on the second place Lakers, and we put on a classic — we won 115-114, thanks to Action Jackson, who absolutely took over the game in the fourth. He scored 40 points on 17-25 shooting and just lit into the Lakers. It was a huge win at home and set us up beautifully for our next tilt against the East leading Pacers, sitting just a game ahead of the Cavs at 15-4. We were 13-5 and looking to notch that 14th win.

      The game went as well as you could hope for in the first half. We were playing well, our offense was flowing, our game was rolling, but in the second half things fell apart — in the third quarter we lost Ennis as he came down off a shot with a rolled ankle. Unable to put weight on it, he was sent to the locker room and stayed their the entire quarter.

      The amount of *ucks I screamed would have destroyed a church and then some. Another point guard? Another injury? What had I done to piss off the basketball gods? Was it just a fluke? I didn’t know, but with Ennis out, Teague got loose and the Pacers ended the quarter ahead, 87-80. That was pretty much it from that point on and we were gassed — forced to play our guys more than usual, we just ran out of energy and it *ucking sucked.

      Ennis came back in the fourth, tried to gut it out, but he was too damn slow with his bum ankle. It didn’t matter, but at least he tried — I’ll give him that. Teague got hot, fed George, and that was all she wrote. The win was the Pacers 9th straight.




      That loss sent us to 13-6. We won the next two, then lost the next three by double digits on a long road trip. And then we got back Joe Young. We had succeeded in surviving without him, but it was good to have Mighty Joe starting again. We were sinking and we needed a boost; we got it. With Joe back in the lineup, we went on a three-game win streak, taking the Celtics, Kings, and Magic all down as we headed towards Christmas.

      We were second in the conference, first in our division, and Delly had been upgraded to questionable by the medical staff; he could play, if we wanted him to, but we kept his butt glued to the bench until he was 100 percent.

      Christmas week were 18-9 and looking to continue our rise. A matchup against the Blazers waited for us on Christmas Eve.

        Ch. 50



        We came into Portland with a renewed sense of vigor. Getting back Young was exactly what we needed, especially as we started getting into the busy part of the season. The Blazers weren’t a team to be trifled with, though; down Howard and Mirotic, the Blazers were still 17-10 and well within striking distance. The combo of McCollumn and Lillard was absolute fire and I didn’t think we had much chance of slowing either down.


        Turns out, we didn’t. Lillard and McCollumn got theirs and they got it in all the ways, but mostly from deep. The shooting show those two put on was nothing short of amazing to watch; Richardson switched on McCollumn and it didn’t matter. We put height, we put wingspan, we put bodies on both of them and neither managed to slow down.


        The rest of the Blazers weren’t doing *hit, though and that’s where we had the advantage. Thon was wrecking the interior of Portland and we just kept feeding him. Noel was getting the boards, Lauvergne was doing a hell of a job off the bench, and our lead managed to stay — but it progressively got smaller. And smaller. And smaller.


        By the time the final quarter rolled around, the Blazers smelt blood and they went at us from the perimeter. We had no answers — but luck was on our side. Lillard went down early in the fourth, allowing us to play off his replacement, Ty Lawson. Lawson wasn’t nearly the threat Lillard was, which meant the offense had to run through McCollumn.


        We thought that was a good thing … but we *ucked up. McCollumn didn’t just rise to the occasion, he obliterated it and nearly took us with it. We had no answer for him — he scored 21 points from deep and what could we do? *hit. We did *hit.


        Portland nearly stole it from us, even without Lillard, but Noel made them pay from the line and Jackson — who had himself a real good game — thundered home a big dunk to finish Portland off.





        Some free throws later and it was all over. We escaped, but hell if I wanted to see Portland again — they were a supernova ready to explode on any team. They just had to stay healthy, which was pretty damn hard when Lillard was diagnosed with a busted ankle at the end of the game — he was out 1-2 months.






        Injuries were piling up, as they tend to do in the NBA, and teams were suffering for it.








        The biggest injury was Whiteside — the Heat were betting on him to have a good year to carry them forward, but Miami was only 17-13, hanging on in the middle of the pack. Without Whiteside, the team was left with Ed Davis to start. Davis hadn’t been doing too bad in the four games since Whiteside’s injury, but the Heat could fall into a hole at any tiime — the rest of the league was waiting and watching to see if Riley finally moved on from Dwayne Wade.


        But the other story was Draymond Green. Green had broken his leg three games into the season and the Warriors then went on a 13 game winning streak — Golden State was so good, they had Speights playing in Green’s place and they were playing better than with Green. Draymond was aware of this, Kerr was aware of this, the front office in Golden State was aware of this, and so was the rest of the league.


        Green was going to get traded and he couldn’t do *hit about it. He had two years left on a good deal and someone was going to grab him. The question was, who?








        I knew one thing: it wasn’t going to be us. I wanted no part in Draymond “Drama” Green and there were some around the league who agreed. Someone was going to get enamored with his talent, his championship play, and his fire — but we weren’t. No, I was focused more on the Raptors.


        Remember, we took on their 1st rounder in 2018 (heavily protected) to take Carroll off their hands. Well, they didn’t give us that 1st and so we had their 2019 1st — completely unprotected and Toronto was in a bit of a dive, near the bottom of the East at 11-18 and making me look damned good. If the Raptors continued to suck, we would benefit immensely.


        The 2019 draft was a crapshoot, like any draft, and the prospects were as much a mystery as they were a known quantity. Despite the amount of videos and scouting reports, the college players weren’t really getting tested; the college game as a whole was suffering from poor play and tight-*ss coaches who controlled everything.


        There wasn’t any real way to know for sure how good a prospect might or might not be … but having a draft pick and using it well was still the difference between building a consistent playoff contender or being the Kings, who were bottom feeders again.


        At Christmas, we were 2nd in our conference and looking good. Once we got Delly and Carroll back, our team would be better off … at least, I hoped so.

          Draymond is Dray-Gone: Green headed to Chicago



          It was only a matter of time before the Warriors had to move Draymond Green, who's been increasingly antsy about his minutes -- and his role on the team. With Green out, the Warriors have proven they don't need him to succeed and it only made sense to move on.

          They found a willing trade partner in Chicago, who are floundering at 12-17 and looking for a spark. They'll get that and more in Green. Chicago sends away Bam Adebayo (their 2017 1st round pick), along with Robin Lopez, Brandon Jennings, and a top-5 protected pick in 2019 for Green. The Bulls are banking on Green's unique skill-set unlocking the full potential of Hoiberg's offense.

          For the Warriors, this was clearly a move to get better in the long-term at the cost of a short-term sacrifice. Not only is Klay Thompson a free agent next summer, but so is Kevin Durant and neither is tipping their hand about whether they'll be back or not; Adebayo will be a big piece moving forward and at only 21 is averaging 12.5 PPG and 6.7 RPG on 25 MPG off the bench, so he's clearly ready to contribute now. Lopez and Jennings will shore up the Warriors bench as Golden State attempts to win the the title that has eluded them the last two years -- ultimately, if they fail yet again to win, Thompson and Durant may very well leave.

          If that were to happen, the Warriors would be okay now -- with flexibility provided by the expiring contracts of Lopez and Jennings, along with the rookie scale deal of Adebayo, the Warriors can reload around Curry if Durant and Thompson move on.

          Chicago have made their stand and the playoffs are now a minimum to be met. Green will be Butler's best partner ever and, combining with Kris Dunn, the three may form a triumvirate that goes on for years to come.

            Re: Through The Storm: A St. Louis Story

            Green to Chicago...interesting. I'd have to think that if this team can get something going, he may want in there long term to finally be the 1B to a 1A - in this case, Jimmy Butler - instead of being the #3 or #4 he was in Golden State. Draymond loves the attention and getting that chance on a proven winner, I'd have to think, may stand out more to him than going to a rebuilding team or a middle-of-the-pack team. Then again, I also had Carmelo going to the Cavs (pre-LeBron announcement) in 2014 so...don't trust my judgment.

            Oh, and Tyler Ennis. Boom.
            Patiently waiting for a New York Jets title.Wish me luck.

                AUTHOR'S NOTE

                Must apologize for the lack of updates over the course of the last two weeks -- I've stayed offline from just about all my usual haunts due to just how bad the general mood of most places I've gone have been.

                But, what's done is done now and with patch 1.05 out, I'll be getting back into this tonight (expect updates over the weekend).

                Thanks to everyone for keeping the faith and stay tuned.

                  Ch. 51


                  After Christmas, we dropped a close one in OT against the Suns, then escaped from Cleveland — and we got word back that Delly was ready to play. He wanted to come back for Cleveland but we held him out a few days longer — December 31st, the last game of 2018, we were on the road at the Thunder and the doctors told us he was as ready as he ever would be.

                  Delly was back and immediately became our starter again. McHale didn’t even hesitate, something I appreciated from him; as a former player, he knew how gut-wrenching it was to sit and wait around while injured. Delly being back in gave a big boost to our team and the man couldn’t have picked a better time to show up.

                  Russell Westbrook was waiting and he was looking to feast.

                  If we had Joe Young guarding Russell, Westbrook would have walked all over us. Nothing against Mighty Joe, but the guy’s defense is average most nights — not what you want facing a superstar of Westbrook’s caliber. So, we had Delly back and we gave him a hell of an assignment; slow Westbrook down and make the rest of his team work.

                  Delly, ever the professional annoying SOB, took the assignment with vigor.

                  Unfortunately, Westbrook didn’t give a damn. He went to town on us in every way imaginable, getting inside and keeping his team just close enough to make us worry. The Thunder were all-in on Westbrook being the savior and Westbrook, a little over a year removed from being a defending champion, was eager to reclaim a title for OKC.

                  He was a fire we couldn’t put out and *uck us for even trying; sometimes you just got to know when to quit. So, with the game too damn close for comfort, we adjusted our strategy at halftime and told Delly to forget about Westbrook and force the rest of the team into misses. That worked out a hell of a lot better.

                  It also let Delly use that energy he would’ve spent on defense for offense and Delly, God bless him, let out a torrent of triples in the second-half that silenced the OKC crowd. He loved it, he fed on their befuddlement — Westbrook was easily three times the athlete of Delly, but Delly was damned crafty.

                  He, Thon, and Action Jackson utterly demolished the Thunder starters and we rode to a victory behind our returned floor general.






                  It was a big win and gave us firm control of the division. You’d think, after that kind of win, we’d run off a streak … but we didn’t. At least, not a winning streak anyway. We won the next two, then dropped the next three straight by an average of eight points.

                  It was disheartening, don’t get me wrong, but going 2-3 over five games isn’t the worst thing ever; add to that the fact the rest of our division was losing games too, and we were still relatively exactly where we were before. That didn’t mean we wanted to keep losing, though, and the Bucks came into our house on January 12th, 2019. They were 21-15, we were 24-13, and both of our teams were right in the mix for the playoffs.

                  Milwaukee had finally taken the step everyone had thought for years they were going to: they were a playoff contender in the deep Central division. The Greek Freak was having a banner year with 22.7 PPG, 9.8 RPG, and 7.1 APG on 49 percent shooting and 32 percent from deep (pretty decent for him). The hiring of Pau Gasol as HC in the offseason, considered questionable by some, looked genius. Big men coaches used to be thought of as “dumb” when it came to the basketball court, but that was slowly changing.

                  As for us, we were back at home, and we put on a hell of a show. The Bucks had faced tough defenses before, but they’d not faced a team like us, a team with a tough defense and a high-flying offense. We trounced them thanks to Thon and Josh Jackson. The two were in sync, maybe for the first time all year, but they found a higher plain of existence or some *hit that game, because they were making buckets AND getting fouls.

                  Not only getting fouls (the Bucks were in foul trouble all *ucking game, DeAndre Jordan and their bigs were very frustrated at the refs), but sinking their shots at the line; that’s where they did most of their damage. Now, it wasn’t a clean game by us, we turned the ball over too many damn times — it was almost comical, thanks to the fact that the Bucks tended to turn the ball over just as much as we did.

                  But we won. And we won big, restoring our confidence. We took Milwaukee behind a woodshed and moved our record to 25-13.

                    Thank you for the updates. Still very much enjoying the reads

                    Do you player lock when you play or do you just control the whole team??

                    Any custom game sliders you use or recommend? I see you play on All Star, but is it default or with your own sliders?

                      I control the whole team -- I find player lock to be too restrictive for my tastes.

                      As for custom sliders, I used these here as my base at the beginning of the dynasty (and forgot to update the main post, so I'll do that now) and I've tweaked a few things along the way based on what I saw with the rosters/team I was using.



                      The thread has some good observations in it along the way. I would recommend turning down injury frequency/injury severity in the MyLeague settings to 25 for frequency (both user/CPU) and 20 for Injury Effects (user/cpu). Any lower (like in the upper teens) and it doesn't happen often enough, any higher and too much of the league is the walking wounded. It's taken me a few seasons to get that where I like it, but those settings are proving to be good for me this year (I got hit with major injuries to both Delly and Carroll, Carroll still has weeks to go before he's back, and I like that).

                        Ch. 52


                        After that game, we faced the Wizards and got trounced — the big victory against the Bucks had us feeling ourselves a little too much and, rightly so, we got kicked in the *ss. After that, we welcomed the Pelicans to STL. NOLA was our first rival at this point — we didn’t like them, they didn’t like us, and the seven game series in the playoffs the year before had really embittered guys against the other team. Truth be told, we were two teams that were coming from similar places.

                        Like NOLA, STL was a city founded by the French and had a number of French customs that were ingrained in it from day one. NOLA always got more attention for their French *hit than us, which added to the resentment I felt, but the two basketball teams plainly disliked one another. Anthony Davis and Eric Bledsoe were two guys who wanted to win, just in two completely different ways; Bledsoe was going to test the market in the offseason, according to sources, and word was that he and Davis didn’t particularly like one another.

                        The Pelicans were 21-16 coming in, we were 25-14 and I was feeling pretty good about our team. We were still down one of our better players in Carroll, but guys were stepping up and I felt confident going up against the Brow. I didn’t worry about him nearly as much as I worried about Bledsoe.

                        Turns out, it wasn’t either of them I needed to worry about, it was their second-year man, Johnathan Issac. Issac put on a show in the game, lighting us up from deep and absolutely murdering our perimeter defense — especially with Jackson on him. We played a tight game in the beginning and end, both areas where Jackson struggled against Issac; Jackson, frankly, lost his *hit this game.

                        The kid was jacking up shots left and right as Issac was nailing them with Jackson in his face. It clearly bothered our team’s best scorer, as he was relegated to whiffing on contested shot after contested shot. His confidence cratered, but the rest of our squad — Thon, in particular — just kept at the Pelicans. They were weak inside, despite Davis and Biyombo.

                        Our bench gave us good minutes, especially Joe Young and Delon Wright — those two guys stepped up on a night where Richardson mostly just vanished on us, minus this one play.




                        But Jackson was frigid. His box score made it look much better than it was; the kid was getting a little antsy about the rest of the NBA overlooking the team, and overlooking him. He wasn’t listed in the running for any award and he was highly likely to miss being named an All-star despite his fantastic play.

                        We won the game, but it was closer than I would have liked and it didn’t do much to solve the main problem we were facing: we were an expansion franchise.




                        We didn’t have much of a history, we didn’t have much of a following nationally, we had just made the playoffs the year before and that was it. Locally, we were killing it — fan interest was pretty much at a max, our sales were steady and very good. But nationally, we were merely the expansion team that didn’t suck (which was nice, but that’s sorta like coming in second-place in an ugly contest — doesn’t mean you’re the ugliest, but you sure as hell ain’t the prettiest).

                        We needed to generate some attention. If our players were getting overlooked and our record was getting overlooked, then we needed to do it another way; enter in my brother, Garrett, our uniform designer. After the game, he found me and told me he had gotten word that our new alternates were approved. Prior to the season starting, my brother had worked furiously to try and incorporate the damned arch into our uniforms. Unwilling to outright steal from Golden State (who did a great job with the bridge on their unis), he worked and worked and worked to try and get something that didn’t suck balls.

                        He finally arrived at one that he liked, I liked, and the league liked — in the end, I felt he did a good job. We officially branded it as St. Louis pride uniforms, used for home or away contests depending on the night; came up with a different court, too, not super-crazy but a good change of pace. Personally, I wish we could have left the blue out — Garrett loved it, though, and he wasn’t a fan of the black uniforms (which I absolutely loved).







                        But the gray ones he came up with were absolutely winners — as soon as I saw those babies roll out, I was on board. Fan response was mostly positive — the only complaint they had was that the blue one looked a bit too much like mid 2000s Cleveland, but they were happy overall. Jersey sales, as you can imagine, improved markedly and we had our first, real hits as far as alternates went. It attracted good national attention as well and, I hoped, it would help Jackson get the all-star berth he deserved.

                          I can definitely see the old school Cavs in those blue unis, but since I loved those unis...'sall good.

                          As for New Orleans vs. STL, it's an interesting rivalry and a different one; most rivalries in sports are obviously either due to sharing a similar area geographically or major playoff history, but this? Well done, Trek. Creative and brilliant as always!

                            As for custom sliders, I used these here as my base at the beginning of the dynasty (and forgot to update the main post, so I'll do that now) and I've tweaked a few things along the way based on what I saw with the rosters/team I was using.



                            The thread has some good observations in it along the way. I would recommend turning down injury frequency/injury severity in the MyLeague settings to 25 for frequency (both user/CPU) and 20 for Injury Effects (user/cpu). Any lower (like in the upper teens) and it doesn't happen often enough, any higher and too much of the league is the walking wounded. It's taken me a few seasons to get that where I like it, but those settings are proving to be good for me this year (I got hit with major injuries to both Delly and Carroll, Carroll still has weeks to go before he's back, and I like that).
                            Did you end up seeing good results with Player Progression at 55 and Regression at 35 as listed in the link you provided or did you customize it to something else?

                              I ended up using these settings here, after me and a few other people worked the numbers. Settings in first post, as well as other observations throughout the thread.
