2k is notorious for overrating players on the defensive end...

I wonder why the Cavs were the only ones pointed out...

They pretty much mean nothing. I'm pretty sure they're all about they players' individual ratings, not how effective they actually are as a team on defense.

This. and the coach ratings also effect the team overall ranking

1. Cavs are 28th and got noticeably worse the moment Isaiah Thomas returned (it was lower 20s prior to that).

2. They rate highly in-game because LeBron's defensive ratings (96 On-Ball, 80 Low-Post, 96 PnR, 93 Help, 97 Pass Perception, 95 Shot Contest) are still rated like it's 2013.

3. Jae Crowder (a shade under LeBron's ratings) has been terrible.

4. I have the Cavs at 22nd defensively in my roster, just saying

Because it seems like their team rating is off the most.They're bottom 3 in the league in defense but have a 11th ranked rating. The Raptors are below them in 2k18 but not reality.
