Only caught the end lemme watch the replay. Tag team duo owning the paint right now. Too many drives inside combined with a tough defense.

He shot 32% last year, when the sim gives Russ a 70+ FGJ rating run for the hills. :lol:

Yea and honestly even though it’s 2k20 I think you can expect a lot of assists from OKC come sim season. Westbrook and Simmons also know how to make their teammates better, so a guy like Sato who’s already solid in sim should only get better. Warren should get plenty opportunities as well.

This play in tourney added to BAF is gonna be something else.

Simmons at C is gonna cause problems in the SIM cuz he is going to be much faster / quicker than every other C offensively, and defensively he is tall enough to give them problems while still being able to switch onto guards and wings.

As long as Westbrook has even a hint of an efficient year scoring, I expect OKC to make the playoffs.

The real issue is that usually a small team's biggest weakness is the lack of rebounding. With Westbrook and Simmons I don't have to worry about that and Simmons is still near DPOY level so he can check most Cs in the sim.

Honestly my biggest worry is just the fact I'm probably the worst shooting team in BaF among all contenders but I'm hoping what shooters I do have can be enough around Russ/Simmons/Warren.

Toronto might mess around and win a chip this year. Of all his years in BAF LeBron has never been afforded such an array of weapons.
