The Deuce: That's a rough one&

82-0.com - Jersey June 2, 2026, 14:22:50

Just had my most underrated team so far. Game claims this is a 55 win roster - DT Yesterday, 9:09:49
Illini Basketball version - Ron McDon June 6, 2026, 16:22:41
- Fun, but limited - Blazer Yesterday, 18:29:36
81-1 - Tuscy June 6, 2026, 8:31:10
Best I've done is 81-1 in HoopIQ mode: - Kajagoogoo June 5, 2026, 16:27:44
- Just got an 80-2 - DT June 5, 2026, 22:24:00
Wish there was a mode you could set where you could only use a player once, across all attempts - RVA June 5, 2026, 13:58:32
- I think I got Cale Makar in like 90% of my attempts* - Sammich June 5, 2026, 14:04:54
  - Yeah it’s definitely a limited number of teams/eras* - OB25 June 5, 2026, 14:26:18
82-0 team with the 'worst' player rostered? - opey8 June 5, 2026, 10:03:05
Lulz… - OB25 June 4, 2026, 22:03:27
- I lol'd at one of the responses showing one of Kyrie Irving's nicknames on basketball reference - illini21 June 5, 2026, 11:06:41
only 65 wins with 80s Magic and Larry Bird? Come on…. - LeatherneckIllini June 4, 2026, 20:43:56
- It’s purely just adding up counting stats, doesn’t really account for how good the player really is* - OB25 June 4, 2026, 21:30:28
  - I don't know--I've had numerous teams with very similar counting states - Blazer June 4, 2026, 22:43:08
    - It’s purely stat-based but the one thing it does have is an era modifier - OB25 June 4, 2026, 22:57:05
  - Yeah. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are great picks… - DT June 4, 2026, 22:24:31
And we’ve got a hockey version now… - OB25 June 4, 2026, 18:19:49
- The most loaded team I’ve made - VIV June 5, 2026, 22:20:02
- I presume Turco was responsible for all five losses… - timmer June 5, 2026, 19:26:36
- 83-1....so close - KingTalkyTiki June 5, 2026, 14:53:48
- finally got it. - assassin June 5, 2026, 11:55:05
- 83-1 on the first try (albeit easy mode) - Sammich June 5, 2026, 10:33:14
- 73-8-3 for this All Douche team - Desert June 4, 2026, 23:21:25
- 2010s Duncan Keith only having a 90 rating is absolutely criminal* - Orangeillini June 4, 2026, 22:51:45
- Well I did it, wouldn’t have guessed this would get it done… - OB25 June 4, 2026, 20:29:06
  - A couple 80-4s.* - KingTalkyTiki June 4, 2026, 21:33:10
    - 82-1-1 - KingTalkyTiki June 4, 2026, 21:40:56
  - this team blows that one away but it's 83-1 - Orangeillini June 4, 2026, 21:02:53
    - Definitely seems like it does some under the covers calculations not tied to ratings/stats - dk June 4, 2026, 21:39:28
    - I think this one might be even better than yours… - OB25 June 4, 2026, 21:32:26
- Not bad on my first try…. - timmer June 4, 2026, 20:25:40
- Probably took 15-20 for 84-0 - dk June 4, 2026, 19:12:32
- this one is impossible* - assassin June 4, 2026, 18:20:18
  - I only got 78 wins with McDavid, Ovechkin, and Nik Lindstrom* - OB25 June 4, 2026, 18:24:19
    - McDavid/Panarin/Selanne/Scott Stevens/Denis Potvin/90's Roy. SEVEN LOSSES - assassin June 4, 2026, 18:33:28
There's no effing way this team loses 5 games.... - Desert June 4, 2026, 16:44:04
- Yeah, that team is a monster. My best so far is 76-6 - DT June 4, 2026, 20:37:40
New goal is as many Illini as possible - Blazer June 3, 2026, 22:32:18
- I’ve gotten 3 Illini on a team a number of times, but never more than that - DT June 4, 2026, 20:39:18
- Frank is there. Seen a number of others I never realized made a roster, like Kiwane. - DT June 3, 2026, 22:37:57
  - Arch is not on the ‘00s Memphis roster - Blazer June 3, 2026, 22:42:52
    - I am pretty sure I saw Arch somewhere.* - DT June 3, 2026, 22:52:29
      - He had a couple of other brief stints, so maybe he’s on one of those rosters - Blazer June 3, 2026, 22:58:27
        
        Just got him (Arch) with Toronto 2000’s* - DT June 3, 2026, 22:59:44
        
        Good, RIP Arch* - Blazer June 3, 2026, 23:07:22
90s Clippers can suck my ass. Loser franchise keeps getting selected * - MC June 3, 2026, 22:06:55
- I get 60s bulls, 70s PHX, and WAS a ton. * - VIV June 3, 2026, 22:07:45
  - I feel like I get the Nets every other time. And man they sucked. - DT June 3, 2026, 22:10:11
Kind of shocking how many entire decades for franchises were just dreadful.* - DT June 3, 2026, 22:00:51
Trying to draft a team of only #1 overall picks. - Memphian June 3, 2026, 21:46:59
- ooo - Memphian June 3, 2026, 22:13:07
  - Trust the process.* - DT June 4, 2026, 22:25:35
Not a perfect record, but a good record and a Flying Illini... - Luckyday June 3, 2026, 19:34:23
I had a team with 80s Magic, 80s MJ, 80s Kareem that won 69 games - CanHartlebHireSnider June 3, 2026, 17:11:00
- Wait this was 1990s Magic but still 1990-91 Magic was at the top of his game - CanHartlebHireSnider June 3, 2026, 17:16:10
Finally an 82-0, with D'Angelo Russell as pg - apusikam June 3, 2026, 17:09:44
Finally got an 82-0, and with one of our beloved... - General Engineer June 3, 2026, 14:41:14
- Wilt seems to be a cheat code - assassin June 3, 2026, 15:26:29
How long did it take everyone else to figure out that you can still move guys around who play - Blazer June 3, 2026, 13:50:27
- I’m still not seeing how to do this* - OB25 June 3, 2026, 15:14:20
  - you just click and drag the previously selected player to their new position - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2026, 15:15:35
    - Hmm, maybe this doesn’t work on an iPad. I’ve tried that but it hasn’t worked* - OB25 June 3, 2026, 15:16:54
      - Also unable to do this on an iPad. :-(* - DocWalk20 June 3, 2026, 16:34:37
- I didn’t think you could but kind of appreciated it as part of the challenge. - OB25 June 3, 2026, 14:14:31
- not too long. I saw someone had multiple positions so I just tried it out and it worked - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2026, 14:12:14
  - lol, same on both* - Gene Parmesan June 3, 2026, 14:12:45

78-4 is my best so far - RVA June 3, 2026, 12:06:36
- Managed to get to 81-1 even with someone I had never heard of before - OB25 June 3, 2026, 12:17:36
Some teams are set for a higher frequency on the randomization, right? - OB25 June 3, 2026, 11:54:56
- I've had 80's Bulls once and yet to get 90's Bulls* - Blazer June 3, 2026, 13:47:13
- Heh, after mentioning 60’s GSW being rare I just got them twice in one round and got 82-0 - OB25 June 3, 2026, 12:51:52
- all I get are the 1970s Golden State Warriors - Poldark June 3, 2026, 12:14:29
- I've gotten a lot of 10s and 20s Pelicans - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2026, 12:12:01
- i've done it maybe 15-20 times and have yet to get the 90s bulls* - lcubed June 3, 2026, 12:04:35
- I got Suns and Mavs a bunch, albeit from different eras* - Sammich June 3, 2026, 12:03:13
- are you saying they are not randomizing team-era combos?* - torinese June 3, 2026, 11:56:49
  - Its randomized but I feel like there is logic that is making it less likely to get some peak guys - OB25 June 3, 2026, 12:01:08
  - i will add that i have not had 80s or 90s bulls show up on my attempts* - torinese June 3, 2026, 11:58:15
no one picks pippen on 90s bulls, i assume* - torinese June 3, 2026, 11:53:01
71-11 with a bit of a surprising lineup. never even heard of gail goodrich - lcubed June 3, 2026, 11:48:50
- Goodrich was an excellent player, was on UCLA's first two championship teams. * - larue33 June 3, 2026, 13:21:16
- I got 71-11 with SGA, Havlicek, Kobe, Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon. seriously* - Orangeillini June 3, 2026, 11:50:44
  - yeah some of the teams I've put together have gotten much lower win totals I'd have expected - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2026, 13:22:20
82-0 - Memphian June 3, 2026, 8:43:29
Trying to go the other way is fun, too. The worst I've managed is 5-77 - IlliniOllie June 3, 2026, 8:33:54
- 4-78! - VIV June 3, 2026, 13:09:05
- I have a team with 5.5 points avg (2 players at 0.0) and still projected with 6 wins :) * - shua June 3, 2026, 10:28:54

- I like that better. Got a couple 4-78s* - Tortillini June 3, 2026, 10:17:12

82-0 - dk June 3, 2026, 2:57:31
Got to 79-3 with no re-rolls. Lucked into 60s Wilt and 80s Bird on my first two rolls* - Blazer June 2, 2026, 23:22:01
- re rolls? wtf* - gvibes June 3, 2026, 10:23:16

Had a legendary team going and then got the ‘80’s Hornets in the 5th slot. - OB25 June 2, 2026, 21:52:16
Best I've done is 75-7, no reroll, hoopsiq - apusikam June 2, 2026, 20:29:16
- Matched your 75-7 no reroll IQ - VIV June 2, 2026, 23:09:41
Got it, hoopsiq . But got some lucky re-rolls and a bunch of no brainers - Franklin June 2, 2026, 18:39:42
41-41 lol - gvibes June 2, 2026, 17:58:17

  - That's a rough one& - reggiedunlop June 2, 2026, 18:05:52
Hoop-IQ 71-11… - shua June 2, 2026, 17:48:21
HoopIQ records - 64-18 - reggiedunlop June 2, 2026, 17:37:54
- Second try with Hoop IQ - 74-8 - reggiedunlop June 2, 2026, 17:45:42
LeBron - Steph Curry - Wilt - Elvin Hayes - Charlie Scott - 82-0 * - aimlessillini June 2, 2026, 17:31:25
I feel like this team would better than 75-7 - CanHartlebHireSnider June 2, 2026, 17:05:39
- 70-12 hoops IQ - best yet - gvibes June 2, 2026, 17:28:49
  - What decade for Shareef?* - reggiedunlop June 2, 2026, 17:38:37
    - whoops 00s* - gvibes June 2, 2026, 17:44:13
  - I only use the Hoops IQ. It made realize that 90s Dirk is not that impressive* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 2, 2026, 17:36:01
HoopIQ version is much more interesting. Starting SG: clem haskins* - gvibes June 2, 2026, 17:04:16
is it the player's full career, or their career with that team/era? - Sammich June 2, 2026, 16:40:50
- after RTFM, it appears the stats are the player's "peak within their decade" - Sammich June 2, 2026, 16:48:22
- 65 wins seems a little low for this lineup: - Sammich June 2, 2026, 16:47:04
82-0… - shua June 2, 2026, 16:40:07
finally! only rerolled on last pick (PF). prior team was only a B because i had to take kendall gill - torinese June 2, 2026, 16:37:31
Are you all playing the version where you see stats?* - gvibes June 2, 2026, 16:36:33
- yeah....though i think the biggest difference would be like Sammich's grant hill example - Gene Parmesan June 2, 2026, 16:57:43
  - just kidding. It's harder, especially since it's in alphabetical order* - Gene Parmesan June 2, 2026, 17:01:57
- didn't know there was another way - torinese June 2, 2026, 16:38:56
  - You want the HoopIQ section. My initial effort was a stellar 42-40* - gvibes June 2, 2026, 16:59:46
82-0 - Chicago1995 June 2, 2026, 16:19:06

  - 77-5 - IlliniSax05 June 3, 2026, 6:53:08
Initial attempt less than stellar, 58-24. Connie Dierking at center less than ideal. * - larue33 June 2, 2026, 15:01:51
Got to 76-6... - shua June 2, 2026, 14:58:50
- A very different 74-8... - shua June 2, 2026, 15:04:18
- a team featuring Kyrie & Harden is never winning 76 games in a single season - IlliniSax05 June 2, 2026, 15:02:36
Timberwolves next year with the Ayo/Shannon starting backcourt. Ant off the bench.* - Warrin'_Illini June 2, 2026, 14:51:11
