we had some "Unstoppable players" Threads out there, now one for the teams.
Are there any teams, which you just cant beat? You have played against them and nothing worked to beat 'em?
For me, my nemesis is Dallas. I have played them 3 times now and several attempts, but i just cant beat them.
First game. I had a Franchise running with New Orleans, DK's tweaked roster, 8 minutes, All Star Level. I came to Dallas, and was behind by 20+ points very quickly. I had to start this game over and over again, one time because i just wanted another chance
, 3-4 times, because my computer froze midway through the game. But in none of these attempts i was able to do anything. I was behind by at least 20, every time i stopped the game. Than finally, i was able to play it through, i lost 99 - 125. There was just no way to stop them from scoring.
Than, recently i played to other games vs. them. Andrews roster from the beginning of April, the tweaked version, 8 minutes, All Star. Game one, exhibition game, Houston @ Dallas. I played Houston. This i also had to start again numerous times, because my computer crashed
. Two times, right before the crash, i was within 3 points and had just finished a huge rally to come off a double digit deficit. Glen Rice once eliminated a double digit lead alone within 4 minutes . Than, as i was able to play it through, is still couldnt win, i lost it 80 -something to 77 if i remember right. I shot to much three pointers in the end, cause i thought i had much less time than actually was on the clock. If i had played tight D and strategic offense, i could have won it. Dallas even was without Finley and Nowitzki was in foul trouble large part of the game.
Than, just an hour ago, i started a Playoff series, same roster as above, 8 minutes, All Star, 1 game each round, cause i want to play every game. First game, No. 1 seed LA Clippers (dont laugh) vs. No. 8 seed Dallas Mavericks. I played LA. I thought, this will be an easy game, cause i blowed Orlando by 40 with LA in an exhibition game before. Through regulation it was an easy game. Midway through the fourth i was up by 12 to 15 points. But the evend it and it went into overtime. I pulled away quickly in overtime, but they came back and the game went into second overtime! I wasnt able to contain Steve Nash and his 3 pointers. My 3 pointshooter, Eric Piatkowski had no good game. Vs. Orlando he came from the bench when there were only 6 minutes to play and scored 24 points in those 6 minutes, 18 of them with 6 Treys! But this time he fouled out, seconds before the end of the second overtime. I lost the game 131 - 134, a threepoint attempt from Maggette from midcourt failed at the end. This game, they were also with out Micheal Finley.
So, i havent found a way to beat them. And i guess i will have to play them at least one more time, in the second round. Maybe i play them, but most likely i will play the Hornets, if they beat the Grizzlies (dont ask
).
Have you any such nemesis teams and have you finally found a way to beat 'em?
