Frontcourt: Erving, Unseld, Olajuwon, Mullin, and Schayes vs Worthy, Garnett, Walton, World Peace, and Sabonis At SF, Erving and Mullin over Worthy and World Peace with no argument. At PF, Unseld and Schayes do not match Garnett. At C, we have something special, Olajuwon against a peak Walton and a great backup in Sabonis. Going with Olajuwon, but it is definitely close. Overall, TIE. Olajuwon and Erving is an awesome duo, but so is Walton and Garnett. Backcourt: Frazier, Drexler, and Monroe vs Hardaway, Bryant, and Billups At PG, I like Frazier and Monroe (combo guard) over Hardaway and Billups. At SG, have to go with Bryant over Drexler. Overall, I like the duo of Billups and Bryant over Frazier and Drexler: RocketsRed14. Bench: Monroe, Mullin, and Schayes vs Billups, World Peace, and Sabonis Schayes makes it tough, I don't know what to think about him and he has to play a lot being the only big man on the bench. Mullin could play some minutes, but not too much with Drexler and Erving, which is too bad. I think Monroe can manage the point. Billups is better for this team and league than Hardaway, World Peace could play a lot and probably should for defense, and Sabonis mimics a lot of Walton's offensive and rebounding abilities. Overall, TIE. Offense: I can imagine something nice with RocketsRed14's offense if he brings in Billups for Hardaway. Billups would better allow Bryant, Garnett, Worthy, and Walton to dominate the offense and Hardaway can be the sparkbug off the bench. Horry33 has several players I like. Frazier, Drexler, Erving, and obviously Olajuwon are awesome, but together? How does that work? Olajuwon is used to having some players, plural, spot up around the arc. On this team, he only has Drexler and Mullin who won't play that much. I can see tremendous fast-break opportunities with Unseld, Frazier, Drexler, and Erving, but the half-court offense won't be as strong as it should be with that much talent because of spacing issues, IMO. RocketsRed14 Defense: Olajuwon is epic and Unseld is a rich man's Chuck Hayes, but the combination of Walton and Garnett? Those are two athletic, intelligent, and have size. Both front courts have great support from a great perimeter defender, Frazier and Bryant, but, I think, the difference makers are Erving and Drexler, Erving especially. Horry33 Chemistry: I have to go with RocketsRed14 because of solid guys like Billups, Garnett, Walton, and Worthy. I can see them getting the most out of their offensive games while allowing Bryant to dominate, which should lead to better effort and focus on defense and the boards. I don't think Frazier, Drexler, Erving, and Olajuwon are bad dudes, but I can see alpha dog issues between all four of them, IMO. WHO WILL WIN A 7 GAME SERIES: Horry33 is the more talented team, but RocketsRed14 takes it in 7 with better team chemistry.
Horry33 <><><><> Kwame IzakDavid13 RedNation BigMaloe RocketsRed14 <><><><><><> Young-T VBG Jumpman Horry33 4-3 & It helps to elaborate but some of the judges get lazy...
i think there are some flaws here. I think we are not allowed to vote on our own conference... RedNation's vote does not count
this is very close than i expected to be. Hakeem, Unseld, erving vs Garnett, Walton, Worthy - Walton was a beast on his prime, he's one of the best passing big man of all time, great defender and rebounder and so is garnett. Hakeem is can still find a way to score but he can't score at will against these guys. I'll give slight advantage to Horry because Erving > Worthy Backcourt - I love kobe here. Better fit. Advantage to RR14. Bench: Horry33 Offense: - I like horry33's team, but he needs a playmaker, Frazier is a shoot-first point guard, more like Westbrook/Rose in this era. I can't really see how will horry's team will play his offense. If horry have CP3, Zeke, Stockton, Rondo like point guard or Pippen, Bird, Hondo SF, this will be a blowout 4-0.. Pippen might have been a better fit than Dr. J because of play making... - I see a better execution of play in RR14's team, a lot of unselfish guys around kobe, he will be fine. RR14 have an advantage here. Defense: TIE. Excellent defense from both teams It's obvious that Horry33 have a better chemistry, but i see rr14 have a better fit. Horry have an advantage I still select Horry33's team to win the series (4-3). Unstoppable overall talent, rr14's team just can't stop him. but horry would've dominated everyone's team with a pass-first point guard.
