Updating my tendencies

So far I have only been posting my ratings, and not my player tendencies. This is partially because they take up a lot of space and not too many people find them interesting. It would think it'd be more beneficial for me to post a roster asap rather than spend time posting the tendencies for every team. However I would like to assure people that I have spent time getting the CPU to play more sim like.

Here are the stats from a CPU vs CPU simulation (10 min qtrs) I just completed.

PTS-REB-AST-STL-BLK-TO

KNICKS 103
Al Harrington: 20-12-0-1-1 (8-16 FG, 0-2 3pt, 4-4 FT) 25/40 mins
David Lee: 18-8-0-3-0-1 (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT) 23/40 mins
Darko Milicic: 16-8-3-3-1-1 (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT) 24/40 mins
Nate Robinson: 16-3-5-0-0-1 (6-11 FG, 3-3 3PT, 1-1 FT) 24/40 mins
Danilo Gallinari: 9-1-0-0-0-0 (2-8 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-4 FT) 18/40 mins
Larry Hughes: 7-1-2-0-0-0 (3-8 FG, 1-2 3PT) 22/40 mins
Chris Duhon: 6-0-6-0-0-3 (1-1 FG, 4-4 FT) 24/40 mins
Wilson Chandler: 5-4-3-0-0-0 (2-9 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1-3 FT) 25/40 mins
Jared Jeffries: 4-4-1-1-1-2 (2-5 FG) 12/40 mins
Toney Douglas: 2-1-1-1-0-0 (2-2 FT) 7/40 mins
Jordan Hill: 0-1-0-0-0-0 (N/A) 1/40 mins

This game was a blowout by the fourth quarter, so the Knicks bench got some extra run, including their two rookies who I hadn't allotted any rotation minutes. I didn't actually watch the game, but given that Nate and Darko had 16 each it's probably safe to say the 2nd unit actually brought them the blowout victory.

HAWKS 83
Joe Johnson: 23-1-5-1-1-2 (8-15 FG, 0-2 3pt, 7-9 FT) 33/40 mins
Mike Bibby: 18-1-7-2-3-3 (6-12 FG, 3-6 3pt, 3-4 FT) 32/40 mins
Marvin Williams: 10-1-0-0-2-0 (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT) 29/40 mins
Jamal Crawford: 10-0-3-0-1-3 (4-9 FG, 2-4 3PT) 16/40 mins
Al Horford: 8-11-3-0-3-1 (4-11 FG) 30/40 mins
Josh Smith: 8-7-2-2-1-1 (3-4 FG, 2-3 FT) 31/40 mins
Zaza Pachulia: 2-2-0-0-0-1 (1-4 FG) 14/40 mins
Maurice Evans: 2-0-0-1-0-1 (1-2 FG, 0-1 3PT) 12/40 mins
Joe Smith: 2-0-0-1-0-0 (0-2 FG, 2-2 FT) 7/40 mins

Atlanta didn't have a bad game offensively but the Knicks crushed them on the offensive glass. I suppose a team comparison wouldn't hurt.

Knicks 103
39-79 FG (49%)
5-13 3PT (38%)
20-22 FT (90%)
21 assists
8 turnovers
11 fouls
43 rebounds (10 off)
9 steals
3 blocks
56 points in paint
47 bench points
13 second chance points
4 fast break points

Hawks 83
31-67 FG (46%)
5-13 3PT (38%)
16-20 FT (80%)
20 assists
12 turnovers
12 fouls
23 rebounds (2 off)
7 steals
11 blocks
36 points in paint
16 bench points
4 second chance points
4 fast break points


Unfortunately, I don't have complete hotzones as the game only remembers the last 110 shots or so (both teams combined for about 135). But they are definitely balanced. I can watch the Signature Highlights for the game though.


HIGHLIGHTS
Nate Robinson with a halfcourt three
Darko dunk on Zaza
Al Harrington repeatedly man-handling Josh Smith in the post
Josh Smith with two alley-oops

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Darko Milicic (16 pts, 8 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk, 7-10 FG, 2-2 FT, 24 mins)

+/- HEROES AND GOATS

Hawks
Hero: Al Horford (+4)
Goat: Zaza Pachulia (-27... in 14 mins)

Atlanta's defense simply fell apart without Horford. Darko did most of his damage against Little Z.

Knicks
Hero: Nate Robinson (+27)
Goat: Chris Duhon (+0)

Not exactly a question of who the more effective guard was tonight.

All in all, this is a very exciting and realistic outcome! I'm going to run another match while I'm at work and then compare the results. Let's hope the Hawks man up and put together a better showing.
