yeah, andre miller post ups are your go to offense. have fun with that. you have no one who can break down the defense and create with minimal time on the clock. both parsons and green are dependent on the creativity of others which isn't present here. miller can't create for them. neither can anthony davis. so it comes down to marc gasol in the high post trying to do everything but he doesn't like running the offense. he prefers to just defer to others. There is no one there to help him. so yeah i looked at your roster and it isn't great.
Yung-T. I think LCAhmed's team lacks spacing and passing on the perimeter to take full advantage of his bigs. I also think that Aldridge is too skilled and smart for Davis. Davis right now jumps on almost every fake to try and block shots, isn't hard to drive by and gets lost in rotations. Aldridge should abuse him, and Marc Gasol will be kept busy enough by Cousins and rim protection. Tyreke should be more than able to create his own shot vs. Andre Miller. But in the end, I think Yung-T's offense is much better flowing and his defense - despite those mismatches - is probably better. BigMaloe. I think his team is a bit more talented. Better backcourt (especially at point), frontcourts are similar (Millsap over Anderson but the gap between Ak and Delfino is even bigger, AK47 was very good this year), benches are similar. I think Maloe has better offense, Jamers probably has better overall defense because of Bogut inside -- that said, I feel better about AK47 on Kobe than Kobe or Delfino on Harden. latebloomer. Evenly matched teams. talent level seems similar, I think latebloomer has a better backcourt, and VBG has a better frontcourt. There's a ton of mismatches or defensive gaps on both sides. Re Durant, he was awesome for 3/5 games even vs. Memphis defense, I think he should do fine here. But in the end latebloomer has more defensive talent, and Conley/Lee core probably makes his offense close or possibly even more efficient. Jmc. Quite similar rugged, well rebounding teams. I think Jmc has some issues with spacing. But I think he has more talent. I guess it depends how you see Gordon and Garcia. I think ZBO/Asik and Duncan/Faried big combos are comparable, and I like Rubio/Klay backcourt more than I do Lin/Gordon, in terms of their play this year. But this is really a very close matchup and I changed the vote in my mind a few times here... oelman. I think both teams are talented enough to be in the next round. But I like Parker/Martin backcourt a bit more than I do Lillard/Manu (both of them are great), which decided it more. Otherwise it's fairly even. Griffin will have a ton of fun in this matchup, he has power and athleticism advantage over both opposing bigs and there's no rim protector. But so will Dirk. RedNation. I think it's the better defensive team, and it's comparable on offense. RedNation has a ton of range at every position to create room for Westbrook. I like his bench more too. I think Jvu has the best offensive player in the series and crazy shooting ability, probably the better overall offensive team. But defensively RedNation has a bigger advantage, IMO.
ok, if you notice a mistake, post yung-T vs lcahmed 3:2 jamers vs bigmaloe 3:1 vbg vs latebloomer 1:2 jmc vs rr14 3:1 oelman vs horry33 2:3 jvu vs rednation 0:4 spooner vs dfb 3:1
I don't think you understand basketball if you reduce it to 1on1 matchups. I have a team-oriented roster, your statements don't make sense.
ok. i'm sorry. clearly tony allen wouldn't be able to slow down andre miller who does most of his work in the post and using old man moves. he's not really a pick and roll player or an off ball shooter (well he can't shoot at all). but clearly, tony allen can't guard a player like that. you're being ridiculous if you don't think tony allen would just stick and shut down andre miller.
i'm not good at expressing my opinions but whatever.. we all should repp everyone who leaves notes.. It will encourage others to express their thoughts. yung t - probably the best team in the draft... defensively. Where's the offense? you know danny green was like the 4th option on the current spurs right? Still gets my vote here... barely. Don't like either offenses. yung t slightly takes this one jamers - tough call. Overall I like bigm's team better.. but I think harden will struggle with bogut running the paint like he did with Ibaka in the WC playoffs. Can't rely on the three so going with kobe with his clutch factor. jmc - jmc's team is solid. RR14 I think lin was a bad choice especially after playoffs. Don't think anyone will believe he'll hit tough shots or drive the paint like he did in NY. oelman - idk if oelman is based from old man but you got some old players. donatas - Very close call. I was going to pick spooner his FC D is outstanding but realize there were no real clear cut scorers on the team. I honestly cant figure out who's the #1 option on the team. Tough call but I'm going with CP3 dominating the BC.
Just do you knower that's why i have kick out options for harden... I have great three point shooters and good drivers... Bigot all of a sudden turned into bill Russell this draft... Sigh... Gg jammers... I think I'm done drafting for a while
3 more to go. I'm surprised oelman lost this. not that Horry has a bad team, he has a really good one. But I thought oelman got by far the most talent out of the first two rounds, Parker-Dirk is crazy. I guess Hickson at 5 was his doom. yung-T vs lcahmed 3:2 jamers vs bigmaloe 3:2 vbg vs latebloomer 1:3 jmc vs rr14 4:1 oelman vs horry33 2:4 jvu vs rednation 0:4 spooner vs dfb 4:1
did you forget to vote on VBG-latebloomer, or am I missing it? yung-T vs lcahmed 4:2 jamers vs bigmaloe 4:2 vbg vs latebloomer 1:3 jmc vs rr14 4:1 oelman vs horry33 2:4 jvu vs rednation 0:4 spooner vs dfb 4:1
Btw, i'm not arguing re Spooner vs. me matchup, but just a note when it comes to some of the comments --- i don't think Pekovic was ever thoroughly outplayed by Dwight in head to head matchups. Dwight has much more overall defensive value but Pekovic is a solid man defender vs. low post centers, has a power advantage over Dwight, generally controls offensive boards and can score on Dwight. Dwight-Pekovic matchups aren't one sided. He's one of the toughest matchups for Dwight. I'm not at all saying i should've won, I don't know, Gallo/Ibaka/Dwight frontcourt is damn scary.
While I liked your team more and I think Bogut will have much harder time defending the rim when he's matched up vs. Pau 15 ft from the rim (compared to matched up vs. Asik)... you lost 4:2 to a team that some people were saying won the draft after 3 rounds. It's not that bad
