2015 POST SEASON DEBACLE FANTASY DRAFT SUPER BREHS ALRIGHT!

He already voted.

Maybe an auto-loss to the guys that didn't vote but are still in, it's a start.

 

Tizzle
JMC

To be honest, I went with these teams in big part because they were behind... Those matchups look even to me. I couldn't just eliminate any of these teams.

Jmc-Horry. I think Jmc has the best two players in this series. But the rest of his lineup is pretty unimpressive. I would've loved to see a good wing defender and a better bench.
Horry's team lacks comparable star power, but he has a much deeper team, strong at every position, with one of the best benches too. That bench is second only to LCAhmed's I think.

RedN has fantastic perimeter defense. Inside defense is lacking, I'd like Ibaka here maybe, although he didn't have a great season. I don't know. I'd like Bosh. Mozgov is ok, he's average on defense and he's a solid rim protector, but pairing him with Love will cause some issues.

LeBron is LeBron, no one can guard him. I wouldn't bash Tony Allen because of size, he does well against much bigger players. Middleton can guard some 4s. But ultimately no one -- Paul George, Leonard, Deng, Iguodala, Dray Green, etc -- can do much against LeBron. Have length at all positions, power, rim protection, good help defense, then you might slow him down a little, or not. Tizzle's team does have a lot of length to maintain good overall defense, rim protection, many smart players, although I think his team lacks power here, they will get bullied by LeBron, Love and others quite a bit. This is again skinny guys vs. fat guys.

Overall, I think Tizzle is suffering from terrible timing here. Not the best moment to bring Curry to a game against a team that has LeBron and Mozgov.

RedN vs Tizzle 3:2

JMC Vs Horry 1:3

 

Rednation

this is really close but having lebron is a +.. though i really like Gobert and Hayward pick, i think lebron's strength will dominate this matchup.
i like this team Tizzle but...you're in a really bad matchup here

Horry

i felt like the both teams are even in terms of offense, but defensively, i'll give horry an edge for having both kawhi and deandre. i like to see korver and beal run around chasing each other over screens

 

RedN vs Tizzle 4:2
JMC vs Horry 1:4

Agreed these are tough. But I think I got defense locked down. Could even go with a all defensive lineup of wall, iman, khawi, ibaka, and Deandre just to scare people haha. I'll vote after work.

 

RedN
LCA

 

I'll take LCA. Idk how to vote for these anymore tbh. This draft has the closest matchups we've had in a while.

 

Smh. I'll actually better at every position except for Lebron over Khawi. 7 out of 8 or at least 6 out of 8. Maybe I'm biased and overrating how well it fits together and how talented it is.

 

It is really though to decide and you have the better bench, but I just think his starting five makes more sense, is more physical and versatile. Conley+Green+LeBron+Mozgov makes for an incredibly good defense that can apply pressure and is quick on its feets.

I'm a bit torn on your starting five and think it only has one really gritty defender in Kawhi. DeAndre is a great rebounder and shot blocker, but he's really overrated on defense and advanced stats prove it. Pairing him with Dirk, Korver and Wall just doesn't make for a great defense and I also only see this team working in a run&gun style. If Ibaka and maybe Shumpert are starting it would definitely be better defensively, but the offense would still rely on run&gun and easy points.

I think his defenders would be very capable of slowing the game down and then your team definitely would get in trouble imo, on the other side I don't see your team stopping his guys.

Hope this explains the sentiments a bit.

 

That's fair. I didn't pay attention to the Bucks much at all this season, so I don't know much about their players. You're always high on the Bucks players though, haha.

 

True, feel like they're doing a good Job at evaluating overlooked talents and are slowly assembling a promising team.

 

Just realized nba draft is on June 25th. I love watching the draft every year but I have a prior engagement this time. Damn

Btw, Jerian Grant is the player I really like for the Rockets. Check out his highlights.

 

bu..but... he has no answer for my frontcourt... and i will probably start beverley this series.

 

Very tough matchup but I'm going horry. Like I've said I really like this team. I imagine ibaka gets a lot of burn to try and slow down LeBron attacking the rim. Plus horry has two good wing defenders to constantly guard LeBron. John wall deandre PnR is easily on par with the current cp3 deandre PnR. But horry surrounded the team with high efficiency deep shooters. Tbh I think RedN is better off with Tristan instead of love and I love love, lol nice tongue twister.

In the end the much more well rounded team and deeper quality bench prevails. Horry wins.

Jamers. I don't care for the Lopez gasol pairing. Goran and wade like to attack and only pau can defend but he shouldn't be that close to the rim because mills can stretch the floor. Boogie should also easily feast.

Jamers wins.

 

Red nation and Jamers

 

Both of these matchups aren't even close imo

 

Yep, Hammond is usually very good at finding surprise players. But those players also fizzled out after a year several times now. It makes me afraid to judge them. Middleton reminds me of Raja Bell right now, but who knows, a year from now he might develop more, or the opposite, nothing would surprise me about the Bucks.
