KAT ain't playing around

I'm pretty sure I'd be 0 - 5 without KAT. He's fucking nuts. I just need to actually hit threes with him now (and probably pass around more lol)

For real though, I have no idea why the game picked those two jerseys to play against each other. I've learned my lesson though - setting my unis before each game myself now

He kicked my ass that game, lol. Best 2K defender I've seen at the natural 4 spot (not counting Giannis as a 4 here, he's actually insane, he dominated me lol)

Home cooking is good cooking, got us some momentum in Toronto. Unfortunately, it didn't last

Thx bro, but I'm just using the site's ASCII table code lol. They are really nice though, thanks to Adam (I'm assuming hah)

Not again!: Pups once again make no 3's as Greek Freak and Bucks pull away in the 2nd half

KAT shoved Lopez in an uncalled offensive foul to create space for 2 of Towns' 41 points

So, a couple notes:
1) I'm going to making some slider adjustments. 6 games in and teams are shooting way too well in general, and not enough attempts or well enough from 3. (The team with the lowest 3PM IRL right now is Cleveland with 8.7, meanwhile I'm over here giving up 5.7 a game, not mention averaging 3.2 made for myself). Additionally, 102 points scored in the paint is WAY too much (again, Pels lead the IRL NBA with 58 per game and I'm sitting at 84.7 PIP, and the teams I've played make up the rest of the top 5 in my save). KAT should not be averaging ~30 with no 3 point shooting, lol.
So I'm looking to drop some close scoring and raise outside scoring and change tendencies as my games feel like too much of a throwback to the Milkman days at the moment

2) That said, I really do suck at shooting so I'm going to watching it closely and making sure I don't overtune, so this will definitely be a work in progress and I'll post the changes I make when I actually make them. The games are already high scoring and loaded with possessions so I'll have to be careful not to overtune this
