Playoff Matchup Round 2: Thunder (4) Vs. Grizzlies (8)

We don't have college sports like they do in the US.

 

I didn't watch them enough to judge either but I guess this series is proving Collison defense on Zach.

I just figured that Zach would torch any guy who wasn't an athletic freak like Ibaka because a lot of the shots he hits looks tough but is normal for him.

 

All some people are doing is recognizing the play styles.

You know how in 2k11 my player mode you choose a position and then a play style?

Thats all. Durant and Martin play styles would be shooter.

Lebron and odom would be point forward

Bosh and Amare would be face up

Chuck Hayes would be Chuck f'n Hayes

Obviously Durant is better than Martin but they still are shooters...it's what they came in the league doing best and what they go to when they need it. That's why you see Durant putting up a jumper in clutch time rather than taking it to the rack.

 

Like Lebron, Durant needs to develop a post game and thereby fully utilize the full extent of his height and reach advantage. At this point in their career, Lebron has a very unpolished and subpar post game while Durant has none. Tho I wouldnt be surprised if Durant soon has the superior post game in a few years, he just has so much more touch and a natural feel with shots around the basket.

 

I'm just messing with you.

 

my point guard never passes me the ball

 

the thing is to play in the post, you gotta bang and play physical. KD really doesn't like physical play (and that's why tony allen has had great success denying him the ball). but what KD has to improve upon is to find a way to improve his 1-on-1 and off the dribble game. as the best player, the ball has to be in his hands at the end of games at all times unless he's doubled.

lebron has a post game, but he doesn't like to play down there for some reason. maybe it will have to take a decline in his athleticism to force him down there more often.

 

The AI in My Player can be spectacularly dumb.... that's why I made myself a point guard.

 

it's probably a midget shooting guard (drose/westbrook)

 

I was a SG and I always got the ball on my player but I was drafted by the Nets in the 2nd round.

Damn game froze on me the 2nd season when I made the playoffs for the first time. I got a quadrapule double and then the game froze after the press conference. Played again and it did it again. Haven't played it in 2 months

 

always gotta back-up your save

 

Erm, ok.

 

This is pretty much the same reason i havent played in months, I just cant recover from the pain.

I was a SG on the Magic and we were up 2-1 against the bulls in the playoffs. I just had the game of my career. And right when it was time for the press conference damn thing froze

 

It's coming. KD posted up in college but hardly ever does it in the NBA. Just a matter of time. He has to gain more strength in order to establish position, like KG did.

 

Dude, your not getting the point. For starters, does Martin even rebound?

 

For playing style, I always chose athletic. Until I decided to make an all-around SF. Got picked by the Grizzlies and bumped Rudy Gay from the starting lineup after 13 games.

 

my sg couldn't make a layup and didn't have a jumper

so frustrating at first

 

What, LeBron emulates his game on yours?

 

I emulate my game on LeBrons. You mad?

 

Really tough lose. I hope you guys enjoyed the game, it will go down in history as one of the greatest games ever played.

KD showed a hell of a lot tonight. His 3 to tie the game in double OT was unbelievable. The thunder are freaking good. The grizzlies made one mistake on that fast break. If we somehow make a shot there, I don't think the thunder would have been able to come back with only 6 seconds.

But like I said the thunder TOOK this game. It was an amazing game.
