Nique is a defensive sieve, Kyrie is a defensive sieve. Yao could be taken out if they pay a small-ball lineup with Matrix, cuz he doesn't have the mobility to collapse PNRs. Duncan thrives in an offense with plenty of gifted passers-- Tim and Kyrie are much too ball dominant IMO. He has a ****-ton of scoring talent, but I always tend to side with the cohesive, defensive teams that will find easy, obvious roles for players & have a couple players that can get you buckets every trip down the floor.

Tim Duncan ball dominant? Dalamon just went full retard.

How many rings does Karl have? And how many times did Karl man up and lead his team to the NBA Finals or even the WC Finals? Karl was a great regular season player. He didn't come up clutch in a lot of series, though.

Prime Duncan would not have won a ring in Utah in the nineties on those teams. I doubt he would have made it as far as Karl did. I think Prime Karl would have won rings on the 00's Spurs. Basketball is a team game and circumstances matter.
 
I give it to One Love, but I think he did a disservice to himself with his starting line-up. I would have started Duncan @ 5, Dirk @ 4, and Hardaway at point. Dirk would spread the floor for Duncan to operate in the paint and Drexler to drive/dunk/dish. While Duncan plays both 4 and 5, he primarily is a 5 and really only played 4 when he was next to Robinson and the brief period when Splitter started. Kyrie will be great but he can't yet measure up to Tim's HOF career. Why bench the master of the killer crossover for the protege?

I'll definitely put Duncan at 5 and Dirk at 4 in the next round if I make it through. I admit that was a mistake on my part :(


I put Kyrie in the starting lineup to provide 3pt shooting, I was thinking about going with Hardaway as the starter but don't know if voters will discount his 3pt shooting (even though he shot 35.5% over the course of his career). Hardaway is more experienced, very dynamic but yeah .. perception matters in these contests.

Being a good passer doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ball dominant.

OK but for me if you're giving up the rock and and it leads to a basket for someone else, to me that's gotta be good for the team. It means you're getting your teammates involved.
 
GS is too fresh on everyone's minds for all these discussions. Needing lots of shooters, small ball and stretch bigs is overrated.

LOL .. Siro making some absurd claims in this.


1) Chandler the only defender the 2nd Unit? How about Paul George? All Defensive First Team 2014

2) Iverson is not going to score anything close to 40 points in 20 minutes against Paul George, LOL ... Paul George will stick to him like clue with his 6'9 frame - Iverson will be lucky to get an easy shot off against him. If he goes inside then the DPOY Tyson Chandler is waiting in the middle.

3) Nowitzki not a 3pt shooter? He is 17th All Time in 3pt made with 1,575 makes, Nash as much as he shoots at 15th with 1,685 makes.

4) Carmelo, Brandon Roy, Hardaway and Paul George, can also make 3's, you're acting like these guys shoot sub 30.

There are a lot of things to be said about this matchup.

But to say Paul George is going to shutdown Allen Iverson is plain stupid. Bro, did you ever watch Allen Iverson?

Allen Iverson's problem wasn't being able to score at will, it's how he was as a teamate.

Allen Iverson would torch Paul George. No bull ****

I agree, even though I built my team like that.

But the reason GS won is because of how good of shooters they have. So it's a weapon. It's a different way to win. But not everyone can do it. Steph Curry is what makes that work. Can't just be any shooters.
 
I voted for Siro for chemistry reasons. His team seems more like an actual team. The sum of One Love's parts is greater than that of Siro's team, but Siro's is greater than the sum of its parts. If Dirk had been starting, I think I would have gone ahead and voted for One Love, though. That was a poor choice, but it looks like OL is gonna win anyway.

I built a team that made sense, and I lost to a team with bigger names. Oh well. :(
