    PG- Curry
    SG- Reddick
    SF- Korver
    PF- R. Anderson
    C- Hawes

    Friend and I disagree--he thinks they can make the playoffs in the west, I said they couldn't make it because their D would be atrociously bad.

    Thoughts? Would a starting lineup of 5 deadly shooters make the playoffs?

    Pat Beverley
    Avery Bradley
    Tony Allen
    Omer Asik
    Chuck Hayes

    No. There needs to be a defensive stopper. If u put iggy at the 2 or 3 I say yes then. That team is simlar to the sonic team I would believe in terms of offense. With Payton, Lewis, Allen where on it.

    It isn't because of defense only. It's also because of spacing. All those guys except curry need to catch and shoot. They need someone to draw their defense away from them. They rely on drive and kick offenses. Or you need a inside / outside pass to them.

    Is curry going to drive and kick to them over and over. Is Anderson going to be you low post man who draws defenders to provide spacing

    That team has no offensive spacing that four of the guys rely upon

    Curry is a No 6 player according to ESPN.... so they would contend for the playoffs
