I'll definitely be making some adjustments for the tournament though. I love Harden's aggressiveness, and how they highlight his elite scoring ability. This man be taking wild step backs lol. The Euro move was sick! However, he's also an elite passer. I'd like to see more of an emphasis on that in 2k. I have a couple ideas to trick the sim into maximizing his wide range of abilities.

That Bogdon 3 was mad clutch. Great compliment he is to Bron.

Harden had like 3 straight possessions where he blew right by LeBron for layups.

Yo, I was going crazy when it was like 3 mins left in the 4th and the SIM still had Graham out there defending Harden with LeBron on the bench.

Then LeBron checked back in at the 2:49 min mark…

:lol:

I need to see OKC in this sim. If the 2k20 strategy still works I might get the bubble championship.

See if Bam can check Ben.

Yea despite my concerns which will be addressed, Bron and Harden put on a show last night. The people definitely got what they paid for! Wouldn’t mind seeing this matchup again before the official tourney.
