Thee Jazz Fan:
I look at Tfivas’s lineup and feel like my bigs will have a field day. Points in the paint, offensive rebounds, total rebounds, FT’s, should be lopsided. T’s bigs will expend so much energy on defense that offense will be just a little more difficult than usual. I feel bad for Dirk having to guard the Greek Freak on the perimeter. If TFivas doesn’t double or triple team, Giannis and The dream, both will score big numbers, and when they double down, Lillard, Pistol, Carter, and Drazen will light it up from down town.
Vs Ellis we used a run and gun tactic to neutralize his great defense, there isn’t that here.
In this game, I’ll utilize Giannis Antetokounmpo to run it up Dirk’s ***. With the dream running beside him on every Giannis rebound.
As far as Curry goes, I will not allow Curry to beat me, and TFivas has made it easy for me as Curry is the only Wing that can shoot. I will use Carter and Pistol to double Curry as need be, and switch on all screens involving Curry. Let both Clyde and Hill take the ball inside as against Hakeem who’s influence is every bit as impactful as a Rudy Gobert. Going inside against Hakeem is like committing suicide. Giannis will be sticking on Dirk like white on rice.
Mark may get an open look here and there, but he’s no where near the sniper Dirk or Curry is, and I quite frankly don’t think he deserves to be starting in this kind of a draft, he’s way out classed in this thing.
In recap. My team is a huge mismatch disaster for Tfivas’s team. I’ve got bigs that can guard the perimeter, take it inside and create open threes for my sharp shooters. I’m not a fan of how TFivas built his team. It’s extremely one dimensional. Not much inside threat from the bigs and little to no defense, and the sad thing is both my bigs are athletic and quick and have no problem guarding on the perimeter and both great at help defense. My guards may be weak defenders, but they are backed up by the Freak and the Dream where as T’s wings don’t have that kind of backup supporting them.
