    First to 4 votes wins!

    Anyone is welcome to vote, but please break it down. You can use this scheme:

    Frontcourt (who has better SF-PF-C)
    Backcourt (who has better guard combo)
    Bench
    Offense
    Defense
    Chemistry (which team's players fit on the court better)

    Or just give main reasons why you think one team will win.
    If there's no explanation, the vote won't count.

    If no one gets 4 (explained) votes till 11 pm, we'll count the poll. Winning the poll gives 1 vote, and it's also a tiebreaker.

    BigMaloe

    PG - Kyrie Irving
    SG - James Harden
    SF - Gerald Wallace
    PF - Kevin Love
    C - Javale McGee

    Bench
    G - Goran Dragic

    C - Kosta Koufos

    vs.

    front - bluffkin. blowout.

    back - Maloe. blowout as well.

    bench - Maloe. who backs up Wall? Lets say Shumpert gets backup point guard minutes, but who plays 2 then? bluffkin lacks a playmaker / legit guard off the bench.

    defense. bluffkin. Love over Dirk, Bynum and Deng over McGee/Crash. bluffkin has much more D in his backcourt. Maloe has a bit more defense off the bench, though Gibson is very solid.
    Both teams have solid rim protection, size and post up defense and a good defensive 3.
    Overall, bluffkin because of his backcourt.

    offense. Maloe. Very good offense. Great spacing. Great penetration by guards, transition. Lacks post up game in halfcourt a bit to take full advantage of all the space, but it's a great offense regardless.
    bluffkin has a great 3-4-5 combo offensively, very good transition between Wall-Shump-Deng-Gibson (not as great as Maloe's, but still awesome), good spacing. But this team seems to lack playmaking a bit. Wall is fine despite some dumb decisions, but when he sits Deng is the main playmaker. Deng is ok but not great in that role.
    Overall, Maloe by a bit.

    chemistry. even.

    overall, this goes 7 and can go either way. But Maloe wins categories so I'll say Maloe.

    I gotta agree, I don't have too many playmakers but i thought that would be okay due to my twin towers all you gotta do is dump it to the 7 footers to get high quality shot, both are very good free throw shooters and both go to the line alot, mix in defense with shump and deng I think I'd win in 7. Maloe has an excellent backcourt with slashers and shooters, but I think Wall will be okay against Irving tbh.
