Well there will always be dumb people who do not know anything about the rest of the world further from the tip of their nose.

Addictionarys team is awful. Starting Porz, LaVine and Gallo is bad. One of em, fine...all three, bad.

Zach Lavine shouldn't be starting for the T-Wolves. He certainly shouldn't be starting in this thing. Gallo was Denver's best player before the knee injury. Porzingis is an up and coming star who is 7'3", can shoot and defend. You can make a case for those two. . . but Lavine is indefensible.

Eh. They just don't fit.

Gallo is good, but Denver needed him to score/initiate/create. This team doesn't. So what are you left with? An inefficient scorer, who plays bad defense. The reason for his career year was that he doubled his FT rate, who knows if that will continue. But I think he's a 42% shooter? He's not a spot up guy. A comp like this, you want him as your 6th man. Him starting with Wall/Cousins just doesn't work.

Porz might be a star. Right now, he's still very inefficient. He might shoot someday, but right now he's a 42% shooter at 7'3. Woopdie doo. Post all star he was 41/30....at 7'3. He might shoot well in a few years, but this comp isn't about in a few years. He shouldn't be starting.

With Wall/LaVine/Gallo/Porz/Cuz, you have a lineup of poor, inefficient shooters, one good defender, one average defender, and 3 poor defenders. It's a bad team setup.

 

[Jazz and Utes]

I like every player on Addictionary's team but I like CL's team more.

 

[MVP]

Not sure about this one. Are we talking healthy Bosh and current state Bosh with more question marks then minutes on the court? I am leaning towards addictionary here as CL team is just weird. Addictionary's centers don't play defence but they don't need it against Dwight or Biyombo.

 

[franklin]

DMC and Wall are better than any player on CL's team.

No we are talking about "current". So he is not prime.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It appears that I'm gonna need to spend all night creating email addresses and alts.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Cousins and wall are too much to overcome. IMO Addi dominates

 

[fishonjazz]

This ones tough. I like addys top end guys better. But i think that CL might have the higher "average"

Sorry CL. Wall, porz, cousins and addys 6th and 7th guys off the bench get my vote even though you constructed a good team with good fitting pieces.

Does anyone know that website on which you can enter player's names, past or present, to create teams, and then simulate a series vs. another team?

Yeah, I did it and your team lost every game in a blowout.

What happened to being a better poster because you're toxic?

Im not lying though. It was the truth.

whatifsports has something like that

 

[MVP]

whatifsports has something like that

would it take into account current status or their best year status?

 

[Eminence]

I want to say you can select what year it uses (not sure, haven't used it for awhile).
