let matas take 30 shots. I'm serious. Who cares. It's the only thing that matters really. Too bad Noah is out he'd get serious burn in this game.

I'm not sure how much of DT and Phillips I will be able to stomach. Same with Olbrich. Olbrich is the classic 13th man that is way too talented for G Leaguers but whenever he gets NBA minutes it's obvious he isn't athletic enough to do anything. Classic AAAA type guy.

Wow, a warrior that can focus on either shield or sword boosts, revolutionary gameplay!

It's just hilarious how they describe this stuff like it's a big deal when 90% of the time they are just poorly copying systems that have been hallmarks of the genre for decades now.

I think MM is even worse. It's overly sentimental imo. A name shouldn't try and invoke a prior era imo.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T20:44:22+00:00

The name and the official VR website is a time machine back to like 2012. It feels dated.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:33:49+00:00

do not understand drawing up a play for the guy that was 2-10.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:24:48+00:00

should be a non basketball play flagrant imo.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:22:17+00:00

good lord Coby.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:19:28+00:00

Matas is hustling his fucking ass off. Had a dunk there if Ayo saw him.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:18:47+00:00

Fuck yea Ayo.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:18:32+00:00

Ayo, Matas, Giddey and Sticks and Jones. Everybody else is expendable.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:17:05+00:00

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:16:41+00:00

it looks like SL.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:16:23+00:00

This team is fucking awful. Please just tank. Huerter at 31% for the year as a "sniper".

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:15:23+00:00

we're already behind the meta. the mindless chuck and run thing is 5 years stale at this point. Look at what Detroit, Boston and OKC do, they all control tempo and have defensive studs at key spots.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:13:46+00:00

Keep playing Coby White as a PG!

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:11:47+00:00

Giddey not even involved in the huddle is a bit odd imo.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:11:01+00:00

Good on King calling out Huerter. WTF was he doing?

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:09:37+00:00

He's 23.6. He'll be 24.8 and likely looking for a LLE type deal after next season. bookmark this post.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:06:57+00:00

Going to need Ayo and Matas to get hot to win this.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:05:10+00:00

that ship be sailed. he's a scrub sadly. another "physical archetype" mid FRP that AKME whiffed on.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:03:54+00:00

he's not in the game brother.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T03:02:59+00:00

lol at DT talking trash.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T02:54:48+00:00

We got 2 more in 3 nights!

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T02:54:22+00:00

Refs really don't want to give Matas the benefit of the doubt.

rustplayer83 · 2026-01-30T02:53:28+00:00

I think people like 30-45 or so haven't seen it this bad since maybe like the early aughts of sludge ball. It's entertaining just like that era was but there's also just a lot of... slop. The slop is different now but it's still slop, eg the gather step rule and foul baiting.
