Whats the best (not hypothetical) team you've ever faced - that could shoot 3's like it was their job? I'm thinking like a peja, nash, allen, dirk and ?? at center?

anybody got any horror stories?

Were you around for the past 2 years?

I just started playing this summer.

I used to run with this team ALOT:

PG Don Buse or Dana Barros
SG Ray Allen
SF Pierce or Rice
PF Tim Duncan
C  Gerald Govan

The new version of the concept is:

PG Dana Barros
SG Drazen Petrovic
SF John Havlicek
PF Antawn Jamison
C Bill Russell

Right now I am 14-12 with this team.  I am shooting 49.5% FG and 45.8% 3ptFG with 14.8 OReb.  I am scoring 123.4 per game.

NOW FOR THE HORROR STORIES!

If you want to get to the playoffs you should be fine, but if you want to win championships it is really tough with this type of team.  You give up D which means the people playing with dominating SG, SF, and PF will hurt you.  People with two of those will beat you.  People with all three of those will beat the life out of you.  That may be a little less true in this version of the sim considering the revisionist history regarding players like Pierce and Allen from a defensive standpoint, but they also cost a bit more now to.

Ah.  You almost nailed one of the most common line-ups with your initial post (moses, rodman, peja, jesus & Nash).  Once the 08-09 rosters came out, people started abusing Troy Murphy, alot.

I had several 'ships around 1000 3PM or more.  It usually involved some combination of Wilt, Barkley and a bunch of bombers.  I saw several teams that made 1200 or 1300+, but they almost always burned out early in the playoffs.  You needed a good paint game or it wouldn't work.

I ran a couple of teams with Rodman and Moses in the paint and teams still made a Peja / Jesus smoothie out of them!! I had teams beating me in the playoffs with scores in the 170's daily!

Yea, I made a team only using foreign players to see how well I could do - went 49-33 in the regular season and then lost in round 2 of the playoffs to a team with Michael, Magic, and Rodman (allowing them to crush me on the boards besides having M&M dominate me, since as we all know, foreign NBA players are notoriously soft).  Had 1198 3PM, though.

I used two Nashes, Peja, Raef, two Varejaos, Delfino, Ilyasova, and scrubs.

If I had to do it again, I would probably go one less Nash and get another guy who could be a stopper on the wings (Delfino and Ilyasova were pretty good for this, but they didn't even combine for 48 mpg

I had a team go to the finals about 2 yrs. ago ; with : Nash , Lenard / Ellis , Kobe , Moses and Rodman at center. I think the reason I went so far was the offensive rebounding and subs( Mark Price , Terry Mills, Fortson and Rick Barry ) They would average about 45 50 3pa's / gm. with a couple of games of 32 MADE!! I don't think the present salary structure will allow you to build a team with killer subs anymore.

I did try to field a team that shot an average of 60 to 65 3pa / game. I just chose people with 55% or more perimeter rating , pressed and ran uptempo offense at all times. I broke a bunch of 3 pt records ; but, I only won 35 or so games.
