I imagine Snyder trying to be a defensive style team in 2K doesn't go well with my roster, not surprising to see my team struggle.


you have never been one to care for defense :lol:


While that is mostly true, it's been proven that in the sim it never really mattered all that much. As far as 2K goes, it's like putting diesel in a car and watching it sputter when you run a bad system proficiency. (Unless that's changed in the new game)


I agree and disagree to some extent.

I think your experiment last year proves defense does matter. You were stacked offensively but probably threw out the worst starting 5 defensively possible. Having a bunch of 40-50 rated defensive guys is a disaster waiting to happen.

Also my team was brutal offensively outside of Wiseman. But I started 5 rookies for the most part with nearly all 5 of them 80+ defensively (I think the only one that wasn't was Haliburton). I think I held the league to the lowest 3pt shooting against. I think that was a main reason I made the playoffs + Wiseman beast season but I was able to keep the games low scoring enough and make team shoot inefficiently.

Now I do agree sometimes the SIM defensive rating can be all over the place. Like Harden being an elite defender is a joke...some other guys have crazy ratings, I think thats because any objective stat based simulation will over value countable stats like steals and blocks. Its tough to put a rating on good m2m defense other than having some level of subjectivity which I think the SIM tries to stay away from therefor you have those outliers.

We'll hang our hat on our defense, especially with some of the young bucks getting recognition. May need a little more firepower.

This guy tryna be the voice of reason and insinuate he is not taking this seriously yet he is in my texts privately telling me I have to trade for another star. Saying I’m not in trade talks trying hard enough to improve by adding another star.

:lol:

Only a dummy would listen to Melo when I have a post literally from the same morning/afternoon saying I am not lending much credence to his results since I know Wolverine Studios SIM evaluates things differently than 2k.

Melo is the same guy who runs games on his personal downtime after Smash beat his ass three times. Then broadcasts the one game he wins (mid game) cuz his ego couldn’t handle all the L’s Smash was giving him.

Broadcasted the one blowout game in progress and almost killed his entire credibility doing so. Just to soothe his ego.

Melo a different kind of different. :lol:

and here you are moving the goal posts. you kept saying you didn’t need a 2nd star and your depth will take you all the way to a championship but all a sudden it’s about your inability to get a second star. I’m crying :lol:

You gotta be dumb. You are the one saying I need a 2nd star, while I’m saying I am cool with standing pat cuz I am not sold Wolverine will evaluate on the same scale as 2K.

You are flustered that I won’t panic and trade for who you keep saying I need to trade for.

If I suck, I am fine with sucking on my own terms, thank you very much!

Yo Hoffa, apparently Melo is your biggest fan. He stay bringing you up every time him and I go back and forth.

I think he might low key be shook of you. Seems kinda desperate to establish an alliance with you.
