Actually some people I know have put their teams into NBA live and played games, just for fun but it is interesting.

That does sound fun. Big fan of NBA live

You mean the team who won the last two championships and been to the finals the last three years? Yeah, mentally soft chokers

I smell a laker fan....

I get what you are saying, it just seems opportunistic and rediculously unfair to consider the Lakers loss to the Mavs as proof that the Lakers are soft or unable to win when it counts. Anyone not born this year knows that is simply untrue. No team wins it all every year.

Yes, I am a Laker fan. Are you a bandwagon basher?

first of all making such things different for the league would be really bad, they are also smart teams who don't have the abilities to play higher.

And overall, when you want to adjust focus through the game and opponent start with a neutral defence ...

But when i know the opponent takes two quarters the inside attack bonus, and the other two the otuside attack bonus. I scouted the opponent good, but when i adjust my defence for it, i would be wrong in 50% of the cases and normally it is worse to be wrong then to be right, so that even the 3:1 tactic where you mostly play with your strength will be only defended by mtm instead the right defence ... So overall you take out the tactical oppurtunities out it.
The next point is that the engine adjust the tactics even today, so your defence ratings would be different with a man to man defence especially end game when you play against an inside or an outside team. Also an outside team would search more inside attack late game, when the opponent plays with a strong outside defence. If you switch tactic every quarter, such adjustment would screw this system because if your man to man defence is adjusted to an inside attack, it have more problems with an inside attack next quarter.

hehehe, yea I wasn't implying they area weak team. Just weak this series. Everyone has a bad day, week etc. Phil is ready to step away and he has been a big part of what made them great. perhaps he just ran out of juice.

Yeah, the part I think is interesting is that people are shocked it was Dallas. I mean, if OKC or Miami or Chicago or Boston had beat the Lakers, people wouldnt have been so critical of the Lakers. For some reason no one thought the Mavs had a chance, so when they swept it left the Lakers open to jokes and criticism they wouldnt have recieved vs a more respected opponent. The Lakers choked, and the Mavs played excellent. I am proud of my boys in LA. For a team with a star SG and PF, and a bunch of spare parts in bench spots 3-12 I think they have done pretty darn good.

I get it though, I love to trash the Yankees and their payroll when they get eliminated too.
