    PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICE
    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

    Frontcourt:

    Baylor, Hayes, Mikan, English, and Eaton vs Erving, Unseld, Olajuwon, Mullin, and Schayes

    At SF, we have Baylor and English versus Erving and Mullin. Can't call it either way...

    At PF, Hayes vs Unseld... Hayes is the vastly superior talent, but the rich man's Chuck Hayes is no slouch.

    At C, Olajuwon vs Mikan and Eaton. Eaton actually gave Hakeem some trouble, but Mikan will probably play the most.

    Needs more...

    Olajuwon versus Hayes - Olajuwon

    Unseld vs Mikan/Eaton - Mikan/Eaton

    Bigger advantage with Olajuwon, IMO, so...

    Horry33

    Backcourt:

    Archibald, West, and Maxwell vs Frazier, Drexler, and Monroe

    Again, don't see the need for Maxwell in this league and I'm a big fan of Frazier... This one is difficult based on starting backcourts, but Monroe tips this in favor of...

    Horry33

    Bench:

    Maxwell, English, and Eaton vs Monroe, Mullin, and Schayes

    Can't decide what to do with Maxwell and Schayes.

    TIE

    Offense:

    Howcansheslap is obviously an old school offense and I do like it more with Eaton instead of Mikan. Horry33 cannot be the typical Hakeem offense, but it definitely has more options. Both teams have 4 players in their starting lineups that can go for 25 any night... Both teams have the capability to get a ton of fast break points a night... It's too tough to call:

    TIE

    Defense:

    This one is much clearer: Horry33 has the better individual defenders and rebounders, and therefore has the better overall team defense.

    Horry33

    Team Chemistry:

    If anything makes or breaks this aspect it's going to be pointguard play. With that in mind, Archibald and Frazier can get the ball to their teammates and take shots themselves if need be. Team chemistry not broken on either team... In the clutch, it's going to be West versus Erving and Dream and that dynamic is kinda troubling, so...

    Howcansheslap barely.

    WHO WILL WIN A 7 GAME SERIES:

    On second thought, howcansheslap has a better team, but so does Horry33. I see this series going down to the wire for 7 straight games with Horry33's advantage downlow proving too much for howcansheslap.

    Horry33

    Horry33

    pg:Walt "Clyde" Frazier
    sg:Clyde "The Glide" Drexler
    sf:Julius "Dr.J" Earving
    pf:Wes "Outlet Pass" Unseld
    C: Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon

    Bench:
    G;Earl "The Pearl" Monroe
    F:Chris "Mully" Mullin
    C:Dolph "The Horse" Shayes

    FC: I think Horry's frontcourt is just too much for slap. Dream would destroy Mikan. I like Hayes over Unseld but the Dream advantage is just too much. Baylor and Dr.J- slight advantage to dr.J

    Horry33

    BC: Slap with the advantage. Tiny and West here. West would clearly be the go to scorer in clutch situations and would also do a good job slowing down drexler. Drexler's height might bother west but West's quick release would help him out.

    howcansheslap

    Bench:

    Horry33 has the slight advantage here. Maxwell doesn't belong in the league.

    Horry33

    Offense:
    Archibald, West, Baylor, Hayes is just a little too much offensive firepower.

    Howcansheslap

    Defense:

    Horry 33

    Chemistry:
    Tie- both teams would have good chemistry.

    Winner:

    Close, but I have to go with Horry in 7

    Frontcourt- Who has the better FC
    Horry33 - Dr.J and hakeem?? thats 2x as good as drexler and hakeem.. dayum!! baylor hayes and mikan is nice, just not enough...

    Backcourt- Who has the better BC
    Horry33 - quik note: i see a 3 going bothways into front and back court... that being said i jus said imagine dr.j and hakeem was better than drexler and hakeem, remember? well WTF here he... i mean i see so much slashing PnR and high flying thats im salivating...tiny west and baylor is good, but not enough...

    Bench- WHo has the better bench
    Horry33 - while i always loved maxwell and english is very nice i have to give the edge to the pearl mully and shayes....

    Offense- Which team has the better overall team offense. Which teams offense would run smoother and be more effective.
    Horry33 - ive already elaborated on my fantasies of seeing drexler, dr.j and hakeem playing together... simply fantastic...

    Defense- Which team plays better defense? This includes team defense as well as individual defense
    Horry33 - dr.j had swarming D and hakeem's conquests are well documented around here... while howcanshesleep isnt lacking i just dont see as much defense coming from his team as horry's

    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.
    Horry33 - drexler and hakeem won together = advantage... i see no problems with either team but the fact they played together gives me the deciding factor...

    Horry33 in a sweep 4-0...
