The feeling of wanting to shut off your PS3 and whip your controller at the wall is what the Warriors embody.
They are the favorite team on NBA 2K and it is hard to contain them when you don't know how to play the game.
If Curry isn't getting open, then it's Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, or Jordan Poole launching a 3 with your digital player so far away that he goes to rebound when you hit the triangle to contest the shot. By the middle of the third quarter, like in real life, it's a shooting clinic and the lead is ballooning to the point that you wonder if the experience is worth it. When other teams erupt for bottomless 3s within the span of a four five minute quarters, you can't call it realistic.
You yelled at the TV, "Cool, bro, you picked the Warriors!" followed by a torrent of profanity and a crack of plastic hitting the wall.
Golden State makes professional NBA defense look amateurish in real life. Al Horford was left on an island against Curry in the fourth quarter, with Ime Udoka squeezing the sticks so tight you think he might just snap them in two.
The preferred defense of 2K is selecting your big man and standing in the paint to contest dunk attempts, so it is not uncommon to see that strategy used by NBA coaches against the Warriors to take advantage of Draymond Green's lack of shooting. It always seems to be a good idea.
The little two man action that Curry and Green run to counter it is so smart that it has been copied by both NBA teams and video game developers. It is a game of keep away, with Green playing the role of a tall kid holding the ball out of the reach of a small kid that ends with Curry throwing an open 3 as Robert Williams stands in.
It was the biggest glitch, and it was caused by Wiggins. He held the Celtics star to 13 points in Game 6 and only 2 in the second half. It looked like user error as the drives ended in a variety of ways.
The glaring programming oversight was that the former Timberwolf didn't possess the physical qualities that would make him a great defensive player. I am implying that Minnesota is run by the equivalent of a child who is still learning the button layout.
The fight the C's put up against the Final Boss was commendable. There isn't a reset button or progress to reload. It is the worst thing to restart after logging hours in pursuit of a fake goal.
The Warriors don't know how to play on any difficulty other than Hall of Fame, and that makes them prone to constant, "Fuck you, computer!" moments Some people were at the Garden on Thursday. Curry gestured after any of the 3s. Don't add sleepy time and point the fourth ring finger celebration animation to 2K23 Boston fans don't need to be made fun of online.
Green hit a jumper late in the shot clock in the second half. Jeff Van Gundy admitted that Draymond felt it. If it was 2K, I would break something.
