 Pass me the rock. I'm gonna sell my finger. DESTROY STYLE! WHOA! Quick things. Number one, I know I probably look drastically different. I just spent the last 10 days on a cruise with my family. Amazing experience, but I want to apologize. I know that that means that the last wheel of 2K you saw was probably a little outdated because I had to pre-record it so that you'd have some content. The options are either no videos for 10 days or it's a little outdated. Some of you probably didn't even notice that I left, so that's the best case scenario. Number two! As it stands in Wheel of 2K, we are 6 and 2, which is a pretty awesome record. And I've learned a few things. Number one, I learned that Luka Dončić really wasn't a great power-up player pick. His cards just aren't great. However, I did get lucky because I had thought I had maxed out this Galaxy Opa Luka Dončić except while I was gone, a dark matter and a damn expensive Luka Dončić drop inter-dimensional 99 dark matter Luka Dončić. So it should be significantly better than the Galaxy Opa. The Galaxy Opa is okay. I mean, he's not deadweight, but I mean, just based off of how much MT this is selling for, I have to imagine this Luka is pretty good. However, I'm not going to say that I've earned him yet since he wasn't out when I got my stats with this Luka. So if we can get 10 in any stat with this Luka right here, we can grab that 99 dark matter inter-dimensional. So number one, that's amazing. And the second thing, I am dead inside. And the second thing is I just want to thank you guys for your patience. For those of you who are good at 2K, I'm sure this is a really frustrating series to watch. I know I'm trash, but if you stuck with me last year by the end of it, I actually got really, really good. And if I play enough, I am going to get good. So I'm keeping that in mind. Second thing, I'm going to kill myself. And excited to show you guys my selections on prize picks for tonight's playoff game. So Lottie Walker just went crazy. So I'd love to see him repeat it and go for more than eight and a half points. And I am fading Draymond. I'm going less than eight points because I'm a full-blown hater. This is my prize pick selection and a huge shout out to them for sponsoring today's video. And as always, there's a link in the top of the description to download prize picks. You can use the promo code MMG when you sign up to get a deposit match up to $100. Let me know what you think of the selection. And as always, please play responsibly. Second thing, I'm very well aware of how that meter works. Wow, it is really hard to green in this game. I don't know whether I like that or don't like that yet. I don't think I played enough. But honestly, until I get really good with the releases on my players, I think playing in the paint and taking more guaranteed shots just has to be the meta for me. Take a look at our cheat sheet here on six and two. So I could end up giving away three NBA playoff tickets, a 12-hour livestream with L, taking two subscribers to a playoff game, which would be pretty sick. A truth or drink with L or a truth or smoke video with L. Pretty much no matter what happens, you guys are going to get a really good video slash content. And the next thing we got to look at is the team before I get this first wheel spin for our first game. So currently I like John Wall at Point Guard, actually. I do like this a lot. Clay Thompson has been a solid three-point shooter, but if I can get Dark Matter Luca, he's definitely going to be the starter here. Giannis is amazing. We know that. Jokic is eh. No matter where I put Jokic, 6'11", just does not cut it right now. But Pink Diamond, David Robinson at 7'1", has been really, really good. Luca's okay. Jason Tatum is solid. Bancaro is solid. And Ambeda's solid. Going into today's game, I would like a Dark Matter Power Forward. That, I think a Dark Matter Power Forward or a really strong mismatch shooting guard would be two really good options. All right, boys, our first wheel spin after a 10-day hiatus. I wasn't very good, so it's not like I've got a bunch of rust. 33 plus, wait a minute. 33 plus jackpot. Okay, keep in mind this does not count historic players. I know that Akimolajuan's probably like 60 or 50 at this point, but I can't go with him. It has to be players that are currently in the league or 33 or older. So, for example, I could actually get a LeBron. Dude, LeBron is the third oldest player in the league. Yedanus Haslam, Chris Paul, LeBron James. That's crazy. Derek Rose has a Dark Matter? My favorite part of all time is a really random list. It's like Dirk Nowitzki, Akimolajuan, Derek Rose. LeBron currently just a full array of bandwagonry, but oh, I fucking love D-Rose. Derek Rose currently plays for the Knicks. Derek Rose age. He's 34. That's a 33 plus jackpot. Now, to be honest, I did not have good power forward options. There is Anthony Davis and there is Kristaps Porzingis, but neither of them are over 33. The rest of the guys were like Dirk, David Robinson, retired players. Of course, we got to get our challenge wheel as well. There's obviously tons of newpacks in the store. The Titans is how I can get that Dark Matter Dirk, which I would love. Only one player can score for one entire quarter. This is the LeBron on the Cavaliers challenge right here. Glenda Royce, Tyler. Whoa, what is this team? He's got a team, though, which I respect and the OG Rockets logo. So you got to respect that. Let's get a bucket quick. Oh, I need to pass it to A. Yup. Yup, IndioKitch. I just got to put it up. Uh-oh. It is Rod Auger's ball with 0.6. I'm just going to throw it in and hold X. Oh my God. Trash. Uh-oh. He's got a bucket if he wants it. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Going to set the screen here. He plays up high on it and it leaves. One of the most athletic point guards of all time. Come on, baby. So we got Jordan on Yanis. I got to say it might be my favorite matchup right now. Go up with it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That was a little late there, Yanis. Redemption. This is a great first game back, baby. So far at least. Good defense. Go. Go. IndioKitch. I'm going to try the dunk stick. You know what I got to say? Whenever I try the dunk stick, I end up doing a layup. But it always does go in too. So can't be mad at playing decent on ball. Not going in no way. Great defense. All right. Well, obviously we're not doing our challenge in this quarter. But I would much prefer. Oh, oops, oops. He's actually capable of that, but I'm not so sure. I care. 10 to 2. Into the hoop. Yup. Oh my God, he might quit. Come on, baby. I just ended up on Yanis. I don't even know how. Shit, shit. Ooh, that might go in. All right. All right. He got one. I'm going up. I'm going up with D-Rose. Ooh. So we call it bailout foul, ladies and gentlemen. I swear I remember this free throw. Sure do. Let's go. AC's D-Rose back on NBA 2K14. So still got it. Dude, my, oh my God, my team is clamping. Jason Tatum, go. Go. We don't take threes. No way. He made that. Honestly, I'm just hitting a lot more shots than I normally hit. I don't hit this shit. No, dude. With my hand up. I like this. My Carol, you are so much bigger than him. You got to hit that, right? Oh, shoot. Transition take. And up. We're good. What? All right, boys. Rough ending to that quarter. Oh, shit. And he rips. He rips. This is a rough start to this one. Just don't, oh, there we go. Who's he supposed to be on? Somebody's open. Darius Garland, I've never shot with you. It's like I'm required to learn everybody's jump shot or I can't hit a shot. Unless of course it's like a dunk or something, but that's the matchup I'm looking for. There's David Robinson. That's good, D. Oh, he got his own board. What? Ooh. This is wide open for a three. Wait a minute. Ooh, that's a good three right there, too. Maintaining the two point lead. That's what's important to me. David Robinson. Ugly ass layup misses. Damn. That's good defense. Ooh, that's not good defense. Except he breaks it, so that's good news. Spin. Yanis. Oh. Dude, this is crazy. I dropped, what, 16 in the first quarter, maybe 18? Barely able to hit five, but on the other end of it, he's not exact. Oh, no way. Damn. Yanis got his board off the free throw. Get that shit out of here. Great defense, D. Rose. Just post up, baby. Let's go up, Embiid. Ooh, a little foul. I can't imagine Embiid's got. Oh, no, Embiid is a good free throw shooter, yeah? I just don't know what it looks like. Nice. That wasn't bad at all. That wasn't bad at all. I mean, I did miss it, but it's not a bad release. Yep. Yep. We can correct that. 24 to 19. Curry is in. Oh, bad foul. You can send Dwight Howard to the line. I am fine with that. Oh, he travels it. Holy shit. Ball don't lie. Come on, you can't hit two. You can't hit two. Beautiful. Beautiful. Really struggling to find a play here. Ooh, Embiid for three. That's a really good shot. Oh, Noah's jumper. Can't hit it. Damn, man. What? Does he hit it? And he does. Wow, that was a forgiving green. I barely even get a shot off. Ooh, this is a frustrating game, but it's close. So it's definitely winnable. He's going to shoot a three with Dwight Howard. I respect the confidence. Let's put it that way. Oh, there we go. D-Rose. Yep. Okay. That was actually a pretty damn good movement under there. Ooh, made some separation with Clay. That's the kind of shot we like. Ooh, give me that hand one. Tyler Harrow on David Robinson. That's going to be a tough free throw. Ooh, he hits that one though. 100% on the next. 29 to 31. Puts up a, wow. Jesus, this dark matter, Akeem is killing me. Ooh, don't you? It's got a wide open three. And since I don't have a perfect release, it will not fucking go in. Ooh, it's so frustrating. It's so frustrating. And I can't, I'm not even going to bother to shoot that. Like literally, there's just no way. David Robinson. All right. At least there's a foul. Another one on Harrow. We'll take it. We'll take it. Nice work, David Robinson. And that one's a brick. Oh, he's going to get that. That was pretty good close out actually. Pretty good close out. I don't know what's going to help me. Hey, David Robinson goes up quick. Cut it to a three-point game. That's nice. Who's that on Boncarrow? Is that D-Wade? Boncarrow, I got to imagine. There's no way. No way. And he's going to get that. Oh, come on, baby. We got to get it together, boys. Or we're going to go out sad. Oh, Garland's got some speed. Luca loses the ball, gets it right back. It's swatted again. He's standing out of bounds. What the fuck? Dude, ever since the first quarter, this game has been a crumble. I don't know. We're just going to need an amazing fourth quarter. A lot of defensive stops. And I guess we'll see. That's a lot of shit. Well, if he wants to keep shooting like that, oh my God, another offensive board. This is really tough. Oh my God. I can't even pass down the honest. I can't do a damn thing right now. Go ahead and shoot it through with Dwayne Howe. Offensive board. Holy shit. All right. That's a good screener roll. What are you doing? What are you doing? I can't take this, man. I can't take this. What are we doing? Hand up. Great defense. What do they want from me, man? What do they want from me? Crazy game. I think I've ever been offensive rebounded on so hard. Wow. What a crazy game. Nine rebounds out of Howard. 12 out of Hakeem. Five out of Julius Randall. What a tough L. That one sucked. We don't get anything out of that. We didn't complete a challenge. We didn't get Luca. We also lose Derek Rose. Probably say this at the start of every 2K, but wow, that was a frustrating one. It's extra frustrating that he doesn't have to guard me the whole game. He can just sit there and off-ball. It's so dumb. It's the equivalent of being a D-Line user in Madden, except being a D-Line user in Madden fucking sucks. You get dicked on if you do that. You are like pretty damn, you're meta if you don't play the game in this 2K. I just hope that this next one is better. Damn, that was... I was getting boxed up everywhere. Couldn't shoot. Tull. Oh my God, I might win games. I might actually win games with skill. I don't know if you call the 7 foot 2 players in Tuller's skill, but this could turn everything around. This is exactly who we need. 7 foot 3 Chris Stapps for Zingus. After a loss like that, we can win and keep this Chris Stapps. Oh my God. Now this probably wasn't the most meta 7 foot 2 plus player, but the fact that I'd have to wait 2 hours on the auction house to claim a player is such a ridiculous feature. So I had to take what was actually manageable to where I could still record this video. Alright boys, the challenge wheel is next. I fumble the bag on everything. No challenge wheel. I really thought I could win that game. I end up losing by 30. That's crazy. And honestly is. Our challenge though is 50 points between 2 players. Tim Thomas, Alperin Sangoon, Tony Coocock, Kirby Williams. What are these teams I'm playing? What the f- Tony Coocock is it? I'm calling him Tony Coococks. And you can't stop me, so I don't really care. Poor Zingus trying to close out. Little late. Ooh, I like that. You do not look big enough to guard David Robinson. John Wall the same. Good spin. Ooh, ooh. Don't do that. Don't help side. Don't do that. Ooh, Clay just got a freebie. And won. Clay Thomas. Whoa. Clay Thomas. Clay Thomas. Thomas. Alright, let's see that free throw. Oh my God, that is the fat. What the fuck? He had switched on. Did we get 25 David Robinson, 25 Poor Zingus? It really should be Yanis and Poor Zingus. Ooh. Screen. I'm over it. Uh-oh. He did not take that screen. Poor Zingus. Oh, freebie. Gotta be. He's too damn tall. He's too damn tall for Tony Tukakis. Let's go, baby. Dude, I could drop fucking 30 in the first court. Whoa. He just cut my ass. Fuck you. Why are you going to embarrass me on my YouTube video like that? Alright, let's get a roll. Let's get a roll of Poor Zingus. Yanis to the cup. Ooh. Cut to basket, Yanis. Oh, that's sick. Wait a minute. That was a free bucket. Let's practice our on-ball. This guy doesn't seem too sweaty. I say as if he hams in my face. Let's get a screen off of Poor Zingus. Put it down into him. He's too tall. He's too tall. Ooh. Accidentally left somebody wide open. Good defense shot. Whoa. Into Poor Zingus. Good pump fake. Why are you shooting like a monkey? Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. You made it. We're both shooting really high percentages, giving up a lot of easy looks. I think if I could tighten down my defense, I think it would be all right here. Just go in there. Just put that up. Ooh. Okay. Okay, Poor Zingus. What the fuck are you doing? You're seven foot three. Why are you shooting then? Shit. Shit. That's what you need to do. Poor Zingus with the N1. That's what I want out of you, buddy. It could be possible. He's got a nice free throw too. That's my first time seeing it. 19 to 23. There's Donchich. Ooh. That's gotta be. What's the personal foul? Somebody's hurt. I don't know what's going on. Look at the bench, bro. Are you just all staring down your injured teammate? What are we doing here? I don't know what the hell just happened. That's what I like to see. This should be a bucket. Yep. Go up, big boy. Hey. Poor Zingus likes his layups, I guess. Great defense. Ooh. Ooh. Luca. Luca. Yep. Go in. He thought I wanted a three. What on earth is he? No, I can't shoot that shit. I fucking suck at this game. Stay up on him. That's just a great cut. Let's get it back to Donchich. So we can throw it up to Poor Zingus. Get a pump fake. Run down. And he out one again. Oh, my God. Poor Zingus going crazy. And that great late free throw gives me time to set it up. I love that. Doesn't do anything with this. Step back. Great defense. To Donchich. Down to David Robinson. That's an assist for Donchich. Let's go. All right. Let's go, Yanis. Cut to basket. Yeah. Yeah, baby. This great position. 18 for Poor Zingus. He's got a three. He's got a three. Get out there. Whoa. That is a great jumper. That's fast. Darius Garland trying to lock up. I'm just going to go up with Tatum. I'm not giving him beat anymore attempts, man. That's a good shot. Just goes right at Curry every time. Oh, oh, oh. Not the time. Not the time. Not that there ever really is a time for that, but. Why is Poor Zingus only shoot layups? What was that? He put the ball over the rim and then dropped it in. And we've got what you might call a mismatch. Whoa. Why are you throwing cross court? That's supposed to go right back to the boy. Oh, that's a three. Uh-oh. He's up by five now. A very strong third quarter for him. I don't think I'm going to score a 50 between two players, so I think I'm just going to get my best lineup out there and just do what I can with that lineup. Oh, no. You've got to close out there, buddy. That was a very nice bucket right there. You got him jumping. Was that an assist for, ooh, nine assists. Nine assists for Luca. That's good. Oh, I just did another end one. Wait a minute. We could cut it here. We could really cut it here. There's a missed. My first miss free throw with Poor Zingus. You got to remember, I got a little bit of time there. Oh, oh, oh, oh. This is so wack. Stop. Stop, please, dude. I'm going to turn the fucking ball over. Oh, Yanis. Yanis! Dude, lagging like crazy, but we got a bucket out of it. Two minutes, 20 seconds left. We're in a 5-0 run. K, decent defense. Sengun. Take it at the John Wall, but that's, wow. I do have K Love on Poor Zingus. That might be my favorite matchup. Another foul. I don't know how that was a foul, to be honest. He's tired, but he's going to drill it anyway. And he's going to drill it again. Five point game still. Good deed. He gets an A and one. Like, how did he just green that free throw through that lag? Dude, even the fucking dancers are lagging. Come on, dancers. Dodge it with nine assists. I have to get him an assist here, dude. Fuck you. Please stop lagging. Please. In the curry. No! I just passed a fucking curry. And I'm on the line. This is horrible. This is actually the worst case scenario. I can't get an assist when I'm on the line. All right, we have to foul him. I'm going to preserve my final time out. I'm going to preserve it. I'm going to try and get down the court and get an assist right here. Dude, that Shangoon is crazy, man. He has been lighten it up. No! Fuck you! I almost should, like, miss this so that he can... One assist, Luca. That's all you need, buddy. You just need one assist. I know you can do this. Please don't foul. Caught David Robinson? Fuck you! I'm not fouling anymore. I don't care. I literally don't care anymore. Just let him do his thing. Let him do his thing. Don't foul, don't foul. Curry, I know you can hit it, buddy. I know you can do it, Curry. Take a look at the box. Score Shangoon, man. 7 for 8 field goals. 21 points. Zhang dropped 11. Tim Thomas with 9. Yeah, man. Alperin Shangoon. Porzingas, hey. Having a 7 for 3 guy was clearly a massive change for our team, though. 23 points. 9 for 15. Played an amazing game. Yanis with 10. David Robinson with 10. Donchies with 5 and 10 assists. The big thing I'm noticing in this 2K that is really frustrating. Look at this. I attempted one 3-pointer. One 3-pointer. Because they're so fucking hard to shoot. In fact, the only 3-pointer I attempted was in garbage time there with Steph Curry. All right. Well, that's something I got to work on because if I can't shoot 3s, it's going to be hard to win games. We go 0 and 2 in today's Wheel of 2K, which sucks. But there is one tiny, tiny, tiny diamond in the rough. That's Dark Matter Luca Donchich. So at the start of next episode, Dark Matter Luca, you know, a 6 foot 7 point guard. I don't think, you know, that mismatch like Shangoon is going to be so bad if we got this Luca up there. So might even move Luca to actual point guard. This will be awesome. I'll be really glad to have him. And hopefully his jump shot's a little faster on this Dark Matter card. I don't really know how jump shots work in 2K. I don't know if they change them from card to card. I have to imagine they do. But the current Luca's jump shot is so slow. It ain't going to work. We move to 6 and 4. Which leaves us with only three possibilities. Above our livestream with hell, take two subscribers to an NBA Playoff game. Giving away three NBA Playoff tickets to you guys. So it's actually all pretty dope. So I'm very happy to be landing in that location, but not happy that I just lost two games today. Either way, boys, I love you. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next Wheel of 2K. Peace out.
