KD>Giannis

Embiid/Oladipo/Kemba>>Jokic/Porter/Tatum

KD is slightly better than Giannis. But they are pretty close. Giannis was playing out of this world good. Giannis put up 27, 10, and 5 on 53% shooting. Durant was 26, 7, and 5 on 51% shooting. Giannis also had better PER, VORP, WS, and BPM.

Embiid is much better than Jokic. Jokic sucks on defense and Embiid is elite on both ends. The only thing Jokic is better at is passing. This one is not really close.

Oladipo >> Tatum Tatum will be good in the future but this is based on last year. He isnt in the same category as Oladipo last year. Oladipo was an All-NBA player. Tatum stepped up a bit in the playoffs and scored more. But still wasnt even close to as good as Oladipo. Oladipo shot 40% from 3 on 8 attempts per game! Tatum shot 32%.

Then the last of the 4 big players is Kemba vs Porter. Kemba is a solid all-star player last year. Otto is a nice player who shot really well last year.

Giannis/Embiid/Oladipo/Kemba are easily better than KD/Jokic/Porter/Tatum

It would be a scoring fest for my team on Jokic/Tatum as your bigs "protecting" the rim.

I don't like either as a team, both have a good collection of talent but I don't see the vision as a team. I dislike Ron's team less, my vote goes to Ron.

Ill take the vote.

Giannis running the pick and roll with Embiid as the roll man would be very very hard to defend. Plus there are 3 other shooters around them that can also create for themselves and others. I think those starting 5 could give GS last year a run for their money.

How on Earth did Ellis's team get this far with Aaron Gordon as a starting SF next to two non-shooting bigs?

I didn’t pick the lineup. Ideally, with the players I have, it would work better to play Saric as the starting 3 and Air Gordon as the backup 4 off the bench. Not really a huge difference difference in their numbers, but much better spacing.

Come on, man. You literally haven’t said anything about it until now.

Not blaming you. Just looking at it, I should’ve said something when I first looked at it. I was busy helping my wife at girls camp and thought it, but didn’t mention anything.

It was my mistake for not making a point out of it. Don’t think it would’ve helped me much in this round anyways. Ron Mexico has a great team.

(Full disclosure - I personally think JTT has the best team in the competition. Otto Porter, KD, Tatum and Jokic would be sick.)

Your team is excellent and you deserve to win this series by a mile. I won't debate point for point, but with KD and Jokic plus 2 elite 3 point shooters, I believe your team would lose pretty handily to jtt.
