Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
I run a 29 game season MyNBA with 5-minute quarters (3-3-5-5 playoff format) in the LeBron era with the Celtics, as that is shortly after I got into basketball.

Game 1: @MIA (Win 58-51)
Game 2: MIA (Loss 62-54)

One of the better runs I’ve made in my 2K basketball history considering I was 9-10 about two thirds through the season. Sometime in December, I traded for Steve Nash and Grant Hill in an all-in move for a championship. I seriously considered a coaching change part-way through the season (I was curious if that would actually affect anything noticeable), as it was a struggle to get above 500. Until I defeated the Heat in the 2nd round, I was not convinced I could go all the way with the way things were going, as New Jersey pushed me more than I thought they would in round 1.
We hit three game-winning threes in the playoffs, each by a different player; Nash against the Heat in game 3 of round 2, Pierce against the Bulls in game 3 of the conference finals, and Allen against the Nuggets in game 3 of the NBA Finals. All three of them were because I started drawing double teams with Garnett. The first was the biggest since it was a do-or-die game for each team. LeBron nearly hit a crazy buzzer beater after that, but fortunately for me it did not fall. For the other two, there was only a fraction of a second left on the clock so the game ended as soon as they inbounded it.
It is worth noting that Chauncey Billups fractured his leg late in the regular season, so he missed the entirety of Denver's playoff run. I think the finals would have been much tougher had he played since he usually torches me in 2K.
In the off-season, I traded Nash, Allen, and the 33rd pick for the 1st pick via Indiana. With it, I took a fake dude I created who has Chris Webber’s rookie DNA for his attributes. I gave him a Celtics tattoo and named him after my cat haha. I also drafted Kemba Walker with the 8th pick (had that due to a previous trade).
Yao Ming was probably my most notable free agent signing. I also retained Grant Hill and Shaq (though my guess is they both retire after the upcoming season). Also, Shaq appears to have reverted back to his rookie look (glitch).
