[The Midnight]

Damn, another tough one. Defense VS Offense. Mitchell vs Gobert.

 

[Ron Mexico]

This one was really close for me. I like Wall/Mitchell/Barnes much better than Lillard/Ingles/Gordon. But Favors and Gobert are better than Griffin/Turner, but not as much as the other one. So I went with Elan.

 

[LogGrad98]

Rodney Hood leaves him a man down while he is in the bathroom every other game. e_p wins this one.

 

[MVP]

Ellis wins this one hands down. I get Mitchell homerism but come on...

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Elan in a landslide.

Much better bench. Better team composition.

I agree with this version. I like every starter for Elan better except Center.

Lillard plays no defense and got shut down in the playoffs this year. So ill take Wall. Mitchell is better than Ingles. Barnes was better than Gordon last year. That might change going forward but this is for last year. Griffin is better than Favors.

I just do not like defence on Elan's team. Especially bench is terrible except Holiday. Amir and Nick Young are by far the worst two players from both teams combined.

 

[MVP]

Much better bench.

you can't be serious. That bench has two walking corpses, one really good player, and two unproven prospects.
Ellis bench is killing it.

 

[The Midnight]

This could have easily been the semi or the finals match-up.

Obviously not the finals since my team is not there.

Yeah, and most teams use a 8 man rotation in a playoff series.

Holiday/Ingram/Maker >>>> Baze/Saric/Jonas

LMAO. While Holiday is the best player here Saric and Jonas are >>>>>>>>>> the Ingram and Maker ( Especially Maker is a garbage 4.8pts, 3.0 reb, 10 PER - vs 12.7, 8.6, 22.5 PER ).
Or maybe since it is playoffs lets look at playoff numbers? 5.5pts, 3.8reb, 39% FG and 11.2PER vs 14.6pts, 10.5reb, 54%FG and 25.2PER.... sure Maker is better ROFL.

I'd much rather have Maker and Ingram in a playoff series than Jonas (basically useless against a lot of teams) and Saric.

More length and defensive versatility.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

And yes, Holiday is a top 10 PG. I'm sorry you are being dumb if you dont recognize that he alone makes the bench unit much better than the other team's.

Both Saric and Jonas did great in playoffs. Saric actually averaged more pts than Holiday.

Ok whatever. 1 good player on the bench does not beat other bench unit which is much more balanced.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Cool, Holiday shutdown the Blazers backcourt and swept them and is way better than both of those players.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When it's a top 40 player coming off the bench, it does.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Jrue Holiday did just make a fool of Lillard in the playoffs this year. So that is a big win for Elan. Jrue is by far the best bench player of either team. The 2nd best bench player is Ingram or maybe a tie with Saric., But Jonas, Saric, and Bazemore are the 3rd, 4th and 5th best bench players.
