#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Based on roster construction, which teams are over/under performing?
What strategy do you think would help them perform better, or explain why they are performing above expectations?

Rules: 1 point if you give thoughtful answers, which I will award after the timer ends for responses. The timer ends for responses at the moment the corresponding week's Sim is run.

Note: Use approximately 5 sentences as your bare minimum for 1 point. If you write 3 long, complex sentences, you'll still get a point. If you write 5, 3 word sentences, you will not get a point. Don't @ me.

Due: Deadline for Sim 5

Overperforming
Indiana Pacers - a motley crew of greens led by the savvy vet John Lucas, the Pacers are currently in playoff contention seemingly out of nowhere. Defense is their forte right now with Manute Bol currently leading the lead in blocks. The Pacers are well ahead of schedule right now and PaulyP is flush with cash next offseason so the future is looking really bright in Indy.

Underperforming
New Jersey Nets - I'm not quite sure what is going on here but the Nets are looking like an expensive mishmash of talent and I dont think they are going to figure out how to get out of this mess this season. The talent is obviously there but they have just been inconsistent this season. Some games they are lights out on offense, other nights they cant make a shot. It is bizarre. Honorable mention goes to the Mavericks who also have a lot of talent on paper, but their GM cannot gameplan to save his life. Sad.
