This is looking like a cakewalk of a series. Can't wait to see who will be waiting for you next round.

DId Dallas lose Lively? AD getting destroyed on ESPN with that Game 1 performance, Zion's been pretty quiet too.

Still giving sweep vibes, can't see Dallas scoring enough

"They hung with us pretty well." You ain't gotta lie. This is Lakers 2001-esque.

Call me back when y'all get that chip.

i swore they did in that first game check the box score of the first three quarters, neck and neck

Halfway to the promise land

I might have broken basketball with this roster construction

Nope, they just randomly decided to go small in game 2. AD was more aggressive in Game 2 but then they sat him in the third when we pulled away only to bring him back in the fourth quarter when it was a blowout

Got the score in the boxscore backwards. I was about to slander you for simming because I know you ain't lose for real.

Let's wrap this bad boy up

[GM Rizzo]

Do you go in and edit the rotation for teams you play against in the playoffs? In my Thunder franchise I ran way back in 2K22, any time I played in the playoffs I would try to maximize their rotation to represent playoff basketball with shortened rotations.

I don't although that is a good idea. Some of these rotational choices are...choices like randomly deciding to start Naji Marshall and play him 30 minutes while Dereck Lively and P.J. Washington are healthy and higher rated (by far)
