Kobe4MVP! But seriously, great blowout game

Kobe has less than a month to go before he retires on this game. Might be tough for him to steal the MVP off Durant


I've decided to sim the final 12 games of the season and get on with the playoffs. I've got my eyes on 2k15 and a new project, but want to end this with another title.

Facing the Blazers in the finals would actually be good for me because I'm worried about facing the Thunder again. I thought I was giving them a fair trade for Durant, but all I did was make them insanely talented. Westbrook, Beal, Wiggins, Ibaka, Noel, Sanders, Lamb and Jackson is a crazy rotation on this game.

I'm not looking that far ahead though. It'll be really tough to get past the Bulls/Magic/Pistons in the east.

Durant fouled out with 1 minute left in the fourth. I should have won this game but he missed a free throw (which should have gone in). Stupid lying free throw mechanism.

They scored the first 10 points in overtime. I was always going to struggle with Durant out of the game.
