Cunning Linguist's Case:

I have the best shooting in this thing. Every single guy on my team can hit the 3 outside of Ewing. I'm also elite and probably the best overall from the free throw line. A ton of 85-90+% free throw shooters for their careers. This matters in close games. I have the toughest/scrappiest/yet smartest group in this thing with Billups/Iggy/Battier/Bird/Rahseed/Dirk/Ewing/Draymond. Seriously, these guys won't back down from anyone and can play tough as ****. I can go big with 6'6" Hardaway at the point, Iggy at the 2, Bird at the 3, Dirk or Rasheed or Draymond at the 4 and Ewing at the 5. Or I can go small with Draymond at the 5. I can match-up with any team in this regard. Perhaps most important I have big-time shot makers with Billups, Bird and Nowitzki, all three of whom have been Finals MVP's. I think my team is perhaps the only one here who isn't really flawed tbh.
 
Tough one. CL has better spacing. But I'm going for tfivas given his elite O/D combination, and well, MJ.
 
Not a huge fan of either one of these teams, but less of a fan of the one without MJ
 
Damn. In the Ellis vs One love thread i said that they have the two best teams but i forgot about tfivas team. That team is also in the mix to win it all imo.

I love you CL but you ran into a buzz saw here and i know that shooting is all the fad and your team has it in spades but overall talent tfivas wins big.
 
I love CL's bench. maybe the best in the whole competition.

Yeah, I PM'ed you a week or so ago saying I love your team. An MJ/Isaiah/Barkley threesome is so tough to beat not only because of their talent and success but because of our perception of them. Then you flipped Barkley (I think it was him anyway) into Pippen. Killer.

I think I have the best chemistry in this thing though.
 
Historical matchup between Ewing and Zo at center position. Would love to watch that one. It is really close, and the poll shows tfivas, but I see CL's team better on this one.

CL out of 7.

Hey clown. Have ever watched basketball in your life?

You are awful at making teams.

Hey guis, Iggy gonna shut down Jordan. Derpty Derr

Oh no, my Jazzfanz basketball team isn't up to Hack's standards.

I think I'll go on living just fine though. Without blackmailing anyone and then running off with my tail between my legs for six months like a little bitch.
