This is the fourth matchup in the Western conference. The judging criteria is based on the following: Frontcourt- Who has the better FC Backcourt- Who has the better BC Bench- WHo has the better bench Offense- Which team has the better overall team offense. Which teams offense would run smoother and be more effective. Defense- Which team plays better defense? This includes team defense as well as individual defense Chemistry- which team would have better chemistry and work together better. For example, a team full of scorers who like to keep the ball in their hands wouldn't work very well. Based on these categories, you will determine the winner IN THE END, WHO WILL WIN A 7 GAME SERIES Chinesetaco Pg: Jason Kidd Sg: Michael Jordan Sf: Bernard King Pf: Kevin Love C: Dwight Howard Bench: Artis Gilmore Adrian Dantley Baron Davis VS. MVP pg: Dennis Johnson sg: Hal Greer sf: Billy Cunningham Pf: Connie Hawkins C: Spencer Haywood Bench: 6: Mitch Richmond 7: Maurice Cheeks 8: Marcus Camby
How long do we have to vote? Because I'd like to hear everyone state their case on what their biggest advantages and disadvantages are.(Also I need to look up some of the older players.)
Frontcourt- Who has the better FC Pretty close here... Both sides have prolific rebounders and good scorers. MVP gets the slight edge here as a result of a little more overall rebounding and scoring here. Backcourt- Who has the better BC Advantage to Chinesetaco here primarily because of Jordan. Bench- WHo has the better bench I give the slight edge to Chinesetaco due to him having A-train and Dantley Offense- Which team has the better overall team offense. Which teams offense would run smoother and be more effective. The advantage here goes to Chinesetaco... Kidd a pass first pg facilitating the offense with elite scoring wings with Dwight down low and Love either stretching the floor or crashing the offensive glass. Defense- Which team plays better defense? This includes team defense as well as individual defense Jordan and Dwight are elite defenders, Kidd plays solid D, and A-train could block shots. The others were not known for defense. DJ was very good defender, Mo Cheeks, and Camby are known for defense as well. Don't think the other players were known for their defensive prowess. Again, slight advantage to Chinesetaco. Chemistry- which team would have better chemistry and work together better. For example, a team full of scorers who like to keep the ball in their hands wouldn't work very well.[/B] Not sure if there would be chemistry issues with either team, but Chinesetaco seems to have a constructed a somewhat better overall team that would be more conducive to winning basketball. Based on these categories, you will determine the winner IN THE END, WHO WILL WIN A 7 GAME SERIES The matchup would be a lot closer than people think, but 4-2 Chinesetaco in 6 close games.
Hey judges... Can you please vote fist on the final 4 matchups on the other thread.. It's race to 8 and we need more votes.. Thanks
Will not put this in sentences, more in the notes I made and loosely connected: Kidd vs. Johnson: Johnson>Kidd:defense(9 straight all-defense app.), contained key guys, allround, high motor and leader Jordan vs. Greer: Jordan>Greer, although Greer one of best mid ragne shooters of all time, solid on D, great all-round player. ->backcourt: slight advantage chinesetaco(Dantley a great option off the bench), although MVP is really close. King vs. Cunningham: Cunningham: great ball iq, allround, great drive to basket, hustle King: inside/outside, incredibly skilled, more complete version of Melo, quick first step, deadly on transition, unbelievable scorer, King>Cunnigham Love vs. Hawkins: Hawkins: athleticsm, length , passing, modern prototype of Garnett&Duncan, negative: defense issues and lacking effort Love>Hawkins, Hawkins wouldn't be able to defend Love Howard vs. Haywood: Clear advantage to Howard, Haywood was only 6'8, 225lbs, would get destroyed vs. a modern, athletic center ->frontcourt: chinesetaco cleary wins, especially with Gilmore coming off bench. Offense: advantage for chinesetaco, based on my opinions in the matchups Defense: chinesetaco, great athletic guys and more size Conclusion: chinesetaco wins, his roster is constructed really well and more suited for a modern inside/outside game and transition. MVP's frontcourt really lacks vs. chinese's guys and that would be the key.
Frontcourt: Howard, Love, King, Gilmore, Dantley vs Cunningham, Hawkins, Haywood, and Camby I'm not goint to spend too much time on this one. Gilmore should play more minutes than Howard. I like MVP's frontcourt more. MVP Backcourt: Kidd, Jordan, and Davis vs Johnson, Greer, Richmond, and Cheeks Talent gap between Chinesetaco and MVP is huge here. Chinesetaco Bench: Gilmore, Dantley, and Davis vs Richmod, Cheeks, and Camby Gilmore and Dantley take this for Chinesetaco. Offense: Although Chinesetaco could use a three-point shooter, there are a lot of facilitators for Jordan and King and great post offense from Gilmore. MVP's team is oldschool and somewhat cohesive, but not as talented as the well-run offense of Chinesetaco. Defense: Great perimeter defenders with Chinesetaco in Kidd and Jordan with great post defense in Howard and Gilmore. Not so much with MVP. Chemistry: Jordan will be happy on this team, therefore the team will be happy. MVP's team will get along and... WHO WILL WIN A 7 GAME SERIES Lose graciously in 5 games. Chinesetaco
