Dam, that's suboptimal.

[duckyoubeavers]

very not great. dropped a couple close ones at home, then played lights out offensively on the road. ill give myself a 40% chance to pull this out

[pistolpetejr]

Okay stole home court good, just need to close it out now hopefully.

Didn’t expect the Pistons to be up nor for the Suns to be up 3-0 wow

Suns are way better, got good synergy. I have no idea what's wrong with my squad, looks good on paper...think we're lacking a good guard, unfortunate Hersey/MJ combo couldn't work.

I think Hersey just got too old sadly

[Goose!]

How much of a factor does age play? His ratings haven't dropped at all since I took over the team, except for his potential.

Thing is, his letter ratings might not have dropped, but that doesn't mean his numerical ratings haven't.

Also, some players just take more shots than others. For example, and I don't know if this is true or not so you'll have to go and check: perhaps Outlaw takes more shots than Bodiroga did when you used to play Zo-Gugs-Bodiroga-Hawkins.

True. I only played that lineup 'cause was Bo was injured for a bit, but he's definitely taking the ball away from Zo and Hersey. But I didn't have Bo last season, and Hersey was my #1 scoring option putting up 16ppg. Look at Googs, who's not been in top 3 options, has been putting up 20ppg this season and last. Maybe lukey is right, it's age...32 is not old in the real world though, but maybe in fbb. I still think he could do good in a fast-outside line up.

Definitely related to decline as well, that's for sure. But I think it's a blend of decline + player tendencies (that is to say, Gugs + Bo take away FGAs).

[lukeyrid13]

I think it's just an FBB thing

I had Byron Scott who went from 25ppg to 16ppg but ran the same offense both years but aged 33 to age 34 he took a massive dip in production. Hakeem as well on the Cavs

Look at MJ's splits per season too.
