Should I stop playing people who use the Heat online?

Using the Suns and Spurs.

The Lakers aren't that overpowered now, and that's coming from a Lakers fan. You got an aging Kobe who can't drive like LeBron or Wade, you got Gasol, who can't be used correctly if you don't know how to perform post moves, and then there's Bynum, who is no unstoppable basketball machine. Other than that, who do you have? Fisher?

I never play online, but I'd think it would be safe to play against the Lakers.

Most of the time I get OKC riders. 40,000+ people online and all want to use the same two teams. Like I did 8 games in a row vs them. When a different teaim pops up like the knicks or blazers, I'm get nervous. lol. I actually don't play against the Heat a lot.

The only, and I mean ONLY, time I use the Heat are when my opponent uses the Thunder or the Clippers. I used to throw the Bulls in that group too, but last game when I was the Heat against the Bulls, I won by 30, so I'll just use a different team. I figure when people choose those teams, they'll try to cheese, so I'll just choose the Heat nd play real basketball nd destroy them.

I played NYK vs MIA today to try out J.R. Smith's new and improved 70 midrange (smh). All game the guy would just run with LeBron and mostly go baseline. It's not how they play that pisses me off, it's how dumb your A.I. teammates are in that they let this BS happen over and over again.

Eventually I said enough of this and stopped it, while putting up 37 with J.R. Smith (mostly jumpers). Point is, they are usually easy to stop. But I understand the OP's concerns. Perhaps Join a sim league

I use the Bulls no matter what team it is. Not for cheesing, it's just my favorite team. I'm not really an online gamer, anyway. But most people I face is the Heat. I usually beat them by 6-10.

Just played a dude that was using Heat. I played 1-3-1 Zone mostly all 1st quarter(that is all that was played before he quit) I used the Warriors. I was up 15-2 end of 1st quarter. All he did was drive with LeBron and ill get in front of him and he does an unsuspecting jumpshot because he ment to dunk. lol easy to predict.

P.S. I love Stephan Curry fast break pull up 3.Its money everytime I try. But u gotta know when to do it. Normally I do it when the PG is behind me and the big men are downlow. Did it twice and was 2-2 against that kid.

To the OP if your trying to get better at the game i suggest playing the heat because believe it or not dealing with the heat makes you a better player
