Played Against GSW

Man. I play on Superstar then eventually HOF. The GSW are unreal this year. Unreal.

What do you mean?

I'm guessing that outside of All-Time and All-Star teams, they have the best starting lineup (by ratings) of any team in any video game, ever. Who scored the most points for them?

So, I started myleague with 86 Celtics (87 Lakers, 86 Hawks and Bulls, 85 Bucks. Just trying to get some mid-retro 80s going).

First game of season is GSW. Score is 72-36 at half time. Playing on superstar and default sliders for now (getting a feel for it). You know trying to learn the ins and outs as I go, it always takes 6-7 games to get a good feel for it.

I love the 86 Celtics AND I also like playing against modern NBA teams with them as they are soooo much less athletic than everyone else. It also provides for a greater challenge for me. So, normally I get beat by 20 or so the first game or two, but shesh. GSW are just insanely good. yes, their starters are comparable to an all-time team. Still, I am getting torched hahaha.

Curry and Durant are going nuts.

GSW is ridiculous. I've played 5 games against them, 11 minute quarters.

They average 142 ppg, 61% 3PT, 72% FG.

No matter what D I try - zone, tight on shooters, double team, triple team, go over screens, under screens, whatever hedge - they score at will. Even if I stay one on one, someone is always wide open to the basket for an easy layup. My computer defenders won't stay tight, cut away from defenders, stand there while people drive straight to the basket.

On D, they have averaged just over 20 steals per game.

I've had mismatches with Curry guarding my center, but Curry pushes me out of the lane.

Every game has had garbage time. However, GS never sits their starters. The starting five play even though GS has a 40+ point lead in the 4th quarter. Curry, Thompson, Cousins and the other two starters are in there right until the end.

In sim games against much worse teams than mine - teams I beat by 20+ - GS wins by 10 or less. But against me, GS wins by 40+ every time.

I am so sorry I paid for this game. it's awful. GS is way over powered.

Most of GS steals come from my PG - I play locked on one player - dribbling into traffic then losing the ball.
