I was getting nervous when I kept seeing Amen Thompson coming off pin-down screens and pulling up like a sharpshooter in the 2nd half, but going 0-8 from 3.

:lol:

Meanwhile, Caruso was going nuts for you from deep like he was Steph reincarnated. On the other hand, Murray couldn’t buy a bucket, go figure.

Entertaining game tho. Enjoying this bubble tourney run. Let’s see how far Toronto can go. The semifinal round against Detroit should be a movie!

Victor Wembanyama
23 PTS | 3-7 3PT | 10 REB | 4 BLK | 1 STL

Collin Sexton
22 PTS | 2 AST | 1 STL

Michael Porter Jr.
13 PTS | 2-4 3PT | 3 REB

Rudy Gobert
10 PTS | 12 REB | 1 BLK

Jrue Holiday
9 PTS | 4-7 FG | 1-2 3PT

Derrick White
8 PTS | 5 AST | 4 REB | 2 STL

Amen Thompson
6 PTS | 10 AST | 2 STL


GG man, good luck the rest of the way! You have built a defensive juggernaut, which should also translate well to our SIM.

Yeah I was loving 2K running Amen around screens like he was Reggie Miller :lol: but there was a stretch that Sexton was unguardable just getting into the paint at will, 2K loves those little shot creating guards. Murray and NAW were like 3-24, brutal shooting.

2K just doesn't spam Jokic. Like in real life he touches the ball every single possession for the Nuggets and its basically how I built my roster which the SIM respects a lot more.

Never the less fun little outlet before our real season begins.

Gg HS- You have a tough team as usual. We had no answer for Herro. He’s looking good irl too. Nice pick up!

This play in the spoiler where IHart repeatedly grabs the offensive board, sets picks and boxes out, sums up who he is and why we pursued the sign and trade. Hopefully it translates to our sim. His teammates ultimately reward him for it. That was cool to watch.

I believe that all transactions have now been processed or responded to. If you are one of the four teams remaining in the bubble tourney, your roster for that tourney was locked. These updated moves will not be reflected on your 2K team. I wanted to get all of the rosters up to date because I will be making an announcement tomorrow regarding the final stage of our offseason.

If I did miss any submitted transaction, please let me know before Noon tomorrow. Please also check your team/draft pages to make sure everything has been recorded correctly.
