Very silly question. If the Cavs could have 6 players on the court vs the Miami starting 5 who would win in a 7 game series? Is the extra man on a professional team still such a big advantage even with the talent disparity? If so, how far can we push this? Can 6 college players beat the Heat? High school? WNBA? The obvious advantage will be on defense where you can constantly double someone, but I think with some zone the Heat will be somewhat able to guard 6 Cavs...
I agree. Having an extra player 6 vs 5, definitely is less advantageous than say, 4 vs 3. However, an extra player I'd have to think still is a huge advantage when it's 6 vs 5. You'd have an open shooter and an extra defender every possession.
If the Cavs have Manu, Scola, Vujabic, and Varejao then I think they have a fighting chance. LerBon and Bosh might foul out each game by the 2nd quarter.
if u have a good defensive big guarding the paint at all times then it will be tough for a team like miami. a team like la, phoenix, dallas, okc, houston, any team with great perimeter shooting won't be affected.
Six Cavs players in a sweep if you are assuming the entire Cavs current roster is healthy. You could double Wade and Lebron the entire game and have Varejao on Bosh which isn't a terrible matchup.
good point...on offense. Diminishing returns for sure. But JVG would think differently. six players would eliminate all fastbreaking by Miami. You'd just leave the 6th player down at the defensive end. You wouldn't use the 6th man on offense. He'd just be a goalie.
with 6 average nba players... you will have 1 player always free sit him on the 3 point line... nba players will knock down open free pointers... in defence cram the paint.... make the shoot jumpers all day
I'm really surprised by the results. I thought it would be even or skewed towards the six players if anything.
Wrong. You'd leave him on offense. Every missed Heat basket is an automatic 2 points... The team with 6 wins in a sweep.
This Anyone who's been owned by fast running cherry picking younger folk in a full court game know this to be the truth.
