just finished quick game online...everyone played well.
Didn't involve sweets that much, unfortunately and tried to feature Rose, lost by 3
took early pounding, stayed in it and took lead.
Moved marbs to off guard. crawford was eractic, but played great down the stretch.
Lost by 3. Last second miss by marbs.
at home.
It was a great game...took leads as much as 8, duncan was pretty much unstoppable.
Used Houston in place of Q and kept Kurt thomas on the bench, using TT at center mostly and playing him like I imagine JJ, hand in mans face, take fouls preventing layups and post up occassionally or taking easy feeds from marbs.
My ranking is 6,071 played 4,022 opponent.
He played it as real life, posting up, calling time outs.
I played it like brown, matchups, etc. Looking for the right combination of defense and offense.
Played Houston at the point and moved marbs to the 3 at times to move marbs off the ball more.
Early on he doubled marbs on the inbounds, so it was stopping us from getting into our sets.
Crawford did not setting for the three, but also didn't drive hard to the hole (though there wer some awesom jams in parker's face)
Regret not using sweets more.
