DM Paul George + DM Jimmy Butler = 🔒Lockdown City🔒
-
First of all, i have to say that playing defense in this game is TOUGH AF right now.....holy crap. Maybe it's the 99 rated cards, or the fact that everyone has Curry slide or Quick/Shifty dribble style, but it is EXTEREMELY hard to stay in front of the ballhandler now.
That being said, these two cards have been a godsend because of what they can do on defense. Put them to guard the primary ballhandler and annoy the SHIT out of them. I'm running PG13 in my starting five and Jimmy off the bench but im tempted to run both of them together to really see them shut shit down.
PG13 with his length can guard 1-5 easily. Jimmy has the Kawhi stance on defense and he gets some glitchy animations. Once i get Bill, i'll let him handle the bigger guys though. PG and Jimmy do a great job shutting down opposing point guards and 3pt hunters. Until we get an Invincible MJ or a DM Kawhi, I could see these guys being the best perimeter defenders around.
Defense is super bad in this game now lol, but using these guys make it a little more fun and bearable.

yea I feel that

@ogxsuave i agree, last year his NIB card was a hidden goat card so this year i think they give him something similar. His card is so elite, he deserves it.
-
@ogxsuave After a 2 month break im rusty af lol. Came back at a good time though. I'm gonna finish up Bill Russell today and then just chill until Kawhi comes out. Give me a Kawhi with every HOF defensive badge and im good.

First of all PINNED. Thanks for blessing us with this content. Love your videos.
Second of all: YUP. These dudes are just different on defense. Billy Owens hasn't seen the floor since I got Jimmy. Sure Billy's bigger but Jimmy just has something about him on defense that makes him a demon. Totally lockdown.
Wait till you get Bill... I have never seen a card this active on defense and the boards. He'll literally fly out of nowhere and block people or grab a rebound. And passing lanes?
I've never cared much about defense in 2K, and as you point out it's extremely hard to play defense right now, but I'm actually putting guys in a box now. I've never forced so many 24 second violations and last second prayer shots. My half court defense is crazy right now. I'm out there like Tydebo Jr. It's actually FUN to play defense sometimes. I'm pointing at the screen and laughing while I'm putting these dudes in a box
️
And this is the lineup that does it best. If this isn't Endgame... Pray for us!

@quantumkat Sheesh that's a lineup of hell! I got Ben as my PG too so there's length everywhere. I need to pick up Thon for the SF spot.
PG13 is different. He gets so many blocks and can get contests even on some of the quickest releases in the game.
-
Yessir it's Hell.
Proof is in the pudding as they say
-
@quantumkat now test him out cause he looks like a demon
-
@ogxsuave yup gonna start him out of curiosity
-
@ogxsuave Larry’s a beast, i don’t care what dropped...he’s not leaving my line up. His defense is top 3
-
@12th I want to grab Larry but I’m running out of positions on my team for SF’s lol
-
Man i just had a HELL game vs a 5-Out demon and PG13 played some great ass defense to help pull out the win. Dude was in his bag but PG made some key defensive stops to get the W. Saved some clips of it.
Really loving this card. His length is great vs 3pt hunters and rim runners. Seems like he gets around screens better than any other card too.
-
@earvgotti that tip to a turnover would have pissed me off
-
@earvgotti this looks like every one of my games now (the 5 out demon not so much the great defense)
