Re: NBA 2K18 Thunder vs. the Lakers.

I haven't quite been following ALL the gifs/videos, some I definitely agree with ...but the Kobe Bryant scenario in paritcular didnt bother me, and IMO showed a big step up in awareness from 2K17.

First, to put it simply....Kobe's idea if shrinking the floor at 1:00 is definitely exaggerated...I'd much rather see him positioned right outside of the paint...but the principle is the same...Durants best chance of getting the ball to Allen in that scenario is a LBJ-esque cross court pass that he can easily recover to. I really have no issues with that scenario at all.

Now at that point, after the user defense causes all hell to break loose, I'd like to see his help be a lot less dramatic...his dart to the lane would have been too much to recover from had a pass been made earlier...but what I do like is that he darted back to Allen when he saw KAJ meet him...and probably would have recovered to the shooter in time had the user not taken control.....I feel he'd be stuck in limbo in this sequence on 2K17.
