1-2 sim, all three games on the road.
Loss at New Orleans, 100-83. We really struggled everywhere. Barkley led us with 23 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Divac had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, while Ellis added 17 points off the bench.
Win at Houston, 127-107. Poor defense again, but this time we did a good job on the boards and went to the free throw line a lot. Barkley led us again, this time with 38 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Bogues had 25 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, while Corbin contributed with 21 points. Wiley scored 12 points off the bench while Donaldson grabbed 10 boards.
Loss at Denver, 110-97. Our lack of defense on the road is worrying. Barkley led us again, this time with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. Four other players scored in double figures: Jackson (17), Ellis (12), Corbin (11) and Bogues (10).
We have guaranteed ourselves a non-losing record by reaching 41 wins already. Still, I have the feeling this team is not a true contender yet, despite holding currently the seventh best record in the league. I should have probably made a move before the trade deadline to bring in a shotblocking big man, as our only pure shotblocker is Charles Jones, who is not a good rebounder.

1-1 sim which is a good result on the road against Seattle and LA. Pressey's 24/6/6 and Bailey's 18/10 with 6 blocks led us to a win against the Sonics. We played well in LA, too, but came up short, mostly due to giving them too many free throws.
Bailey has to be the most underrated player in the league (even by me). Tried to trade him numerous times for a more defensive player, and he seems to have close to zero value. But he continues to win games for us, not only with his scoring but also his rebounding and shotblocking. I need to re-imagine the future with him as a part of it, I think. Per 36 this year, he's around 20ppg 8rpg 2apg and 1.5bpg.
We're outright 6th with a 2.5 game break over 9th.

W @ Miami, 114-105: A big 4th quarter gets us a good road win. We shot 56.8% and forced 24 turnovers. Alvin Robertson had 20 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.

1-2 for the Bucks. We had Shackleford on 1 leg but disappointed to lose a vital game at home to Detroit.
83-108 loss @suns. We were bad in this game. We shot poorly from everywhere, we turned the ball over and fouled too much. For the amount of offensive boards we grabbed we should of put more scoreboard pressure on.
101-111 loss vs Detroit. Had to win this game but didnt happen. We shot better here as McCloud, Augmon, Cummings and Payton all played their role well but Derek Harper let us down badly with 7 turnovers and just 6 points and also managed to foul out. Turnovers and fouls killed us.
112-103 win @knicks. It came together for us in this win. We fouled to much but kept the turnovers down. McCloud lead the way with 26 points and Harper bounced back with 16 points, 17 assists and just 2 turnovers.

Finally pulled off a win. I'm not sure how we're struggling so much, though it seems to be turnovers. It's hard not having the game to crack into the stats. I hoped to be better this season, but I feel good about our roster, so maybe we can tune things up over the offseason. If anyone has the game running on Windows 10, let me know.
