Enter the Dragan [35-11] Final three games

Ouch, so many key injuries...Suns training staff losing their mystique? Doing well record wise though!

Will Bender come back as the masked man?

Will Bender come back as the masked man?

It's gotten so ridiculous that I've actually had to turn down the injury frequency slider. It's hard to have a consistent game style if your team is missing key players all the time

Can you add masks to players? That would be cool.

Record: 10-8

KAT fouled out with 3 minutes left in the game, which helped a bit. But this win was due to Len and Bledsoe coming up huge for me in the 4th quarter.

Ah I was thinking about the old 2Ks where you can apply masks etc, too bad

Great 4th quarter to get the W, over .500!

Yeah, it sucks for him and the Pacers. They will probably miss the playoffs now without him.

No idea what happened in the third quarter of that simmed game. Maybe both teams decided to only shoot left-handed or something.

Yeah, I like how you can edit contracts. It helps me keep a sense of realism to the game's sometimes dodgy contract offers.

It's weird how the team is playing better with so many guys injured. I think it's more to do with me being more comfortable playing on superstar difficulty now, though.

Man, time to fire those trainers of yours. (Or adjust the injury sliders!) You're not gonna be able to field a team at this rate!

I already fired my head trainer earlier in the season and hired someone better. And I turned down the injury sliders. It didn't help much


The future is bright in Phoenix. I started this game thinking that Booker and Bender would be my main guys, but Alex Len and Marquese Chriss have proved very handy at both ends of the court as well.

I'm actually starting to like the idea of not going after any big name signings in the off-season now, and instead just developing the young talent that I've already got. It really just depends how far we go this season and how patient I can be.

Three Sixers in the top-five rookie report... they're a problem and Ben Simmons let you know that in the simmed game. No doubt you will eventually be seeing them in the Finals.

They certainly have a bright future ahead of them. I wouldn't even be surprised to see them in the playoffs this season with the way they are rising through the eastern conference rankings at the moment.

Hopefully they become a powerhouse to challenge Cleveland in the east.

DeRozan missed a mid-range jumper on the buzzer. Bender and Len contributed 15 points in overtime.

Bender + Len combined for 52 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks and only 1 turnover. I'm starting to feel like the only area I'll need to address over the off-season is at small forward.
