I'm so frustrated right now...

So my Bucks are in Dallas, facing the Mavericks. Since my last update, we got waxed by Chicago, and I was looking for a good bounce-back game.

After a long, hard-fought battle, the game was tied at 105. Dallas called timeout with about 10 seconds left. While I was focused on Monta Ellis, my teammates let Dirk walk into a layup to take the lead with 5.1 seconds to go. I waited for our timeout (we had two left)... and nothing happened. The coach didn't call timeout. I quickly tried to roll the ball in for the inbound and, naturally, it hit Gary Neal's foot. I called feverishly for the ball and ended up missing a desperation 30-footer at the buzzer. Game over. Another terrible loss.

This game is difficult enough without the CPU screwing me over at every opportunity. It's insane. At least, when this happened in 2K13, you could call timeout yourself to try to save the game. Now, you just watch as the CPU makes moronic decisions again and again. Ugh.
