2023 all time jazz draft second round matchup

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Who would win a seven game series?

Team P
Kevin Garnett- 95// Jermaine O’Neal
Kevin Durant - 07// Amar’e Stoudemire
Elgin Baylor- 58//Joe Johnson
Jayson, Tatum– 16// Bradley Beal
Isiah Thomas- 80// Ja Morant

Vs.

Team B.
Steve Nash '05-06 // Joe Dumars '92-'93
Vince Carter '00-'01 // Pistol Pete '76-'77
Lebron James '12-'13 // Mikal Bridges 22-23
Lauri Markkanen 22-23 // Blake Griffin 16-17
Marc Gasol 16-17 // Ralph Sampson 84-85

Team B writeup

Writeup:
"P just doesn't have the muscle to matchup and their spacing leaves something to be desired. Blake Griffin starts, which means either Durant is the matchup and Durant can't guard him, or Garnett does, at which point, who is guarding Gasol (who is perfectly capable of thumping a mismatch)? DPOY-runner up (and probably should've won in 2013) Lebron will guard Durant, Blake will guard Baylor."

@Jason can you pin this thread?

Thanks.

This thread title doesn't even have the match up. Pretty funny.

I would pay big money to see Pistol Pete and LBJ on the floor together. Would be a stellar pairing.

I think team P can adjust rotations to matchup just fine if team B starts Blake. Jermaine O'neale was an elite defensive big and paired with Garnett would have dominant defensively. Add in the length of Durant and Tatum at the 3 and 2 and you have one hell of a defensive team. Offensively they are pretty beastly as well with elite scoring wings and Thomas setting everything up.

Team B in a blowout. This one isn’t close either.

Just so it shows up because I still can’t find the damned thing.

That’s why I couldn’t find it. I didn’t put the team designations in the title
