Current count... Maloe 6 - LCA 0 Tizzle 7 - RR14 0 RedN 2 - Donatas 3 VBG 4 - Jamers 2 JMC 1 - Bluff 5 Oelman 2 - Latebloomer 5 if anyone sees a mistake let me know... also, i dont know what we decided on?
More detailed - BigMaloe - I think Deng can kind of slow down Melo with Tyson Chandler's help. I like the Deron + Harden backcourt because Deron is good off the ball. I prefer LC's bench but I think he's gonna come up slightly short. I prefer Tyson as an anchor. Yung-T - RR14 can shoot over the other team. But lack of elite defensive big man will hurt him against Yung. They also lack athleticism which will hurt. jvu- Very very close. KD is great. Iggy on Kobe and AK on Durant is nice. Durant will do better than Kobe though. I just love the Wall, Iggy, KD combo. Insane defensively, insane athletically, insane on a fast break. Spooner's frontcourt is significantly better though. This is the toughest but I think the backcourt of JVU pulls it out. Donatas- I hate JR Smith. Both teams have good benches. KG will be awesome with Curry. Can hit jumper and set illegal screens. Another tough one to choose. I think end of the game scoring will be slightly easier for Donatas so I pick him. Bluffkin - Close but JMC's frontcourt simply can't handle this matchup. Not a huge fan of Bluff's backcourt but it will pull through. Latebloomer- Shump on CP3. Lebron on Manu. Hibbert on Run DMC. latebloomer has a fantastic bench as well. Definite advantage. If this was a full season maybe CP3 could make Smith and Cousins smarter but I don't see it here.
My bad. Saw he had 57 games this year. I was supposed to pick him earlier then saw he had 30 something games. Maybe was too high as fk. Lol
Honestly I feel like I got robbed because it's a rockets board lol. Good game though Maloe. Tizzle Spooner Dfb close, but VBG Bluff Latebloomer
ok, the round is probably over already but still my votes: LCAhmed. Both teams are good enough to win the whole thing. Maloe has a slightly more talented starting lineup, LCAhmed bench is miles better. Maloe's team would be more fun to watch, it's mostly run, drive, kick, shoot. LCAhmed has an option to pound with size and post ups. Neither team is very good on defense. I think in the end over 7 game series LCAhmed's size, much better depth and grinding style wins. Yung-T. I think Yung-T's team is a bit more talented. Otherwise, i see no big problems with either team, solidly built starting lineups, good benches. i guess RR14 could use more defense/rim protection at 5. Spooner. I think there's a talent difference again (Spooner's team has more). I also think there will be some spacing issues for jvu, Wall, Monroe,Taj are poor shooters, Iggy is so-so. That said, I think it will be close because Spooner's team would get absolutely burned by Wall. Vasquez/Kobe/Mayo can't defend him. But in the end, I think Spooner wins. This team reminds me of the old Odom-Pau teams with brilliant inside passing game (Kirilenko, Blake, Duncan). There might be some end game Kobe ball, but overall I think this would be a very fluid, near unstoppable offense. VBG. Kyrie or Gordon will be overmatched by Westbrook defensively. Gordon has defensive talent but he wasn't good defensively this year. Inside defense also isn't great, so i think Westbrook will do very well in this series. Kyrie will get his points of course, but between Westbrook and Kawhi/Horford/Noah helping inside, it won't be easy. When it comes to frontlines, i think VBG has a talent advantage, Noah had a better year than Pau, Kawhi than Prince, and I think Horford was as good as any PF. Great defense, great passing, and he gives the Hawks 20-10 any time they play through him, like when Josh Smith is injured. bluffkin. I think Jmc lacks frontline defense for this matchup. But I don't know how Wade is defended either. Batum on him and Ray Allen on Butler? That's probably the best option - but Butler is good enough to get some easy points. Overall, bluffkin in a long series. Tbh, i think both Pekovic and Ibaka are a waste to bring off the bench, they need to be traded and start somewhere. in fact, you all should've done a 3 team with RR14, RR14 gets Pekovic, Jmc gets Ibaka, bluffkin gets Klay Thompson, you would all have much better teams. latebloomer. Two talented teams, but i think latebloomer's players will waste fewer possession on bad shots and will have better defense.

latebloomer. Two best defenses in the draft, very good ball movement, fluid offense. I love the way both teams are built. VBG has a very good jump shooting/driving team, latebloomer has more offensive versatility, he can post a few players up and still has very solid shooting. In the end neither team has legit flaws but I think latebloomer has slightly more talent, and it's mainly because he has LeBron. Basically, take away LeBron and Westbrook, and I think these teams would be evenly matched. With LeBron and Westbrook, I think lateboomer ends up winning. Yung-T. Lawson will be very tough to defend for bluffkin's team. Bosh/Gasol vs. Lee/Dwight depends on how you look at Dwight somewhat, but at the very least Yung-T holds his own there, and more likely he wins that matchup.
