Yeah, it was a good bet. I have been messing around with predictions too, they help when you get it right but it hurts to get them wrong. I think the Focus is more important than Pace for what it is worth.
The whole goal for the season was to have more solid interior players, loading up with scorers worked only marginally well. You did a good job of making my best players less efficient, but there is no way an essentially new team (sorry) can handle the depth.
I did learn, though, that I also need to make another acquisition at least if I want to compete seriously. I converted my SF from last year to SG and he does not have the perimeter skills yet. Make a jumpshot against a good team for once.
