Which former playoff team can this roster emulate?

Howard/Longley??

 

Reggie was a stick....
Harden isn't the shooter he is.

Lakers with Shaq... different but there is some common ground

Fisher - Lin
Kobe - Harden
Rice - Parsons
Horry - distant similarity (Terrence/Motiejunas)
Shaq - Dwight

 

*without the triangle in a more up tempo way

 

The 1994-95 Orlando Magic.

Shaq = Dwight
Penny = Harden
Horace Grant = Asik
Dennis Scott = Parsons

 

pretty much or you could just name teams without comparing players head to head.

 

I think the championship team that best resembles our team is the 72-72 knicks...

2 playmaking point guards = Lin/Harden?, 1 SF(bill bradley) = Garcia/Covington/Casspi, 1 SF/PF (Dave buss...whatever) = Parsons? , and willis reed (stats very similar to dwight)

 

Sorry but I can't find any team past or present that plays similar to the current starting 5. If this team plays cohesively, there's virtually a few team only that can match ours. Hopefully there'll be no more distractions and everybody can lay down their egos. I have high expectations for this team. I'd be disappointed if we're not playing at least for the WCF.

 

You mean Post-up Mark jackson and Jeremy Lin? In what way do they have similar styles?
Also Reggie Miller and Harden do not play similar. Reggie played of the ball and Harden needs the ball in his hands.

And why do you use half of the Bulls line up (the bad half) and half of the Pacers line up.

 

i was thinking same

 

Rockets are going for a roster the likes of the NBA has not seen, yet.
The dynamic wing and high scoring/high rebounding/rim protector center has been done.

Rockets are looking at having that with:

a scoring PG, a versatile wing with a racket, a defensive rebounding big with a racket and a rim protector off the bench

or

scoring PG, a versatile wing with a racket, an offensive versatile 7-foot big (with a racket, maybe) and a rim protector off the bench

 

I think the more recent (09-10) Lakers fit a more realistic idea.

Kobe = Harden
Kobe was obviously the superior scorer and closer, but Harden, like Kobe, handles a heavy workload from the 2 spot and is the superior playmaker
Gasol/Bynum = Dwight/Asik
The Lakers obviously have us beat offensively in this comparison, but we have them defensively. Both make for duos that create serious mismatches centered around size.
Odom/MWP = Parsons/T.Jones/Motiejunas
Odom, mostly a 4, was the superior player of the two, while for us Parsons, a 3, is the best of our trio, but combined their impacts could be comparable. Jones is a versatile talent and could become an Odom-lite eventually, and Motie is an offensive lefty who could be a mismatch.
Fisher/Farmar = Lin/Beverley
The two duos are not really comparable in style of play, but both teams use their PGs in complementary roles, and feature two very different types of players...one more defensive, one more offensive.
S.Brown/Vujacic/Walton = Garcia/Brewer/Williams/Casspi
A bunch of journeyman wings here, but the Lakers used those three wisely, and when they needed them. I expect us to do the same with our backup wings - regardless of who it may be

 

Snow/Iverson/Kukoc/Ratliff/Mutombo



Iverson- Harden

Both are ball dominant SGs that likes to shoot and not a great impact defensively although AI did get a ton of steals

Mutombo- Dwight

Both are great at defense/rebounding but suck at offense although Mutombo had a jumphook and better at FTs

Kuboc- Parsons

Both are white all around players not really stellar at anything but pretty good at everything

 

wasn't Kukoc traded for Mutombo?

 

This! Shame our PF's are not as good as Ratliff was on defense.
