VBG PG - Jason Kidd SG - Eric Gordon / O.J. Mayo SF - Nicholas Batum / Corey Maggette PF - Zach Randolph C - Samuel Dalembert / Nick Collison
Pretty close in voting but his team is actually not that good. Defensively, his team is ridiculous slow. He has absolutely no perimeter defense and the SF position for him will be lit up like anything. His bench has pretty useless players. Splitter coudln't get off the bench for a team desperate for a big man. Same with Evan Turner. Hedo Turkoglu was pathetic without Dwight Howard and pretty bad with him. I don't see Dwight Howard on that team. Offensively, his team has no creators on offense. Tyreke is good one on one (he had TERRIBLE numbers last year though, sophomore slump I guess) but he isn't the type that opens the game up for others. Defensively, Zach Randolph will dominate anyone on their team. My perimeter will run wild as well.
Your team has no offense. Besides Gordon and Randolph, no one else can score. On the other hand, my offense can rip your "defense" into shreds. Tyreke can penetrate at will. Horford and Duncan are beasts in the post and will school your duo of Dalembert and Randolph. Billups, Bargnani and Turkoglu can camp out in the 3 point line. Overall, you can't stop my team from scoring.
A team relying on Tyreke who's terribly inefficient and Duncan who doesn't create on offense anymore is telling me that I have no offense. Your team is running on reputation rather than performance.
Part of Tyreke's "inefficiency" and "ball hogging" is that there aren't any players to pass to. He has to provide the offense, and his shot selection will be worse because of it. In a team with this many offensive forces and veteran influences, he'll know his role and do his job well. Tim Duncan has actually maintained a level of efficiency that's on par with the rest of his career. The only reason his stats have dropped is because he is playing less (to preserve himself longer). He's still got it. <iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d5oz2Ib_QwE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you watch the Spurs game, you can see that the offense doesn't run through Duncan anymore. He's still the greatest arguably PF of alll time so he can still score once in a while. But look at what happened against the Grizzlies. He just can't be relied upon anymore. Tyreke can't play with other players. Remember why the Rockets got Kevin Martin?
Down by 1 vote I think. I wish there was a way to get people to change their vote. I feel like his team relies way too much on Tyreke who was terrible last year to create offense
NO. Tyreke could be a facilitator in that offense. Billups becomes a shooter. (hes pretty good at that...)Bargnani has no offense? Horford has no offense? Duncan? Why do they rely on Tyreke so much again?
Horford and Duncan RARELY ever create offense for their teams any more. Bargnani can play some offense but his defense is so bad. He's playing Bargs at SF... That is just not gonna end well. Tyreke a facilitator? Since when did that happen?
