Current Players Draft Finals: Hotttnickkk v. Hekate

[Siro]

Hotttnickkk

John Wall - Ty Lawson
Klay Thompson - Eric Gordon
DeMar DeRozan - Paul Pierce
Tim Duncan - David West
Tyson Chandler - Kevin Garnett


Hekate

Tony Parker - Isian Thomas
Kyle Korver - JoeJohnson
Demarre Carroll - Terrence Ross
Chris Bosh - Paul Millsap
Dwight Howard - Tiago Splitter



Hotttnickkk's case:

Offensive Philosophy

This team will play inside-out basketball, but can also get out in transition and run and finish strong at the rim. Inside scorers include Tim Duncan and David West who are proven post scorers, surrounded by quality clutch 3 point shooters to spread the floor (Thompson 42%, Gordon 38%, Pierce 37%, Lawson 36%, Wall 35%). There is plenty of passing with John Wall and Ty Lawson who each averages 8.8 assists per game last season.

Defensive Philosophy

Tim Duncan and Tyson Chandler will anchor the defense in the starting lineup. Nothing more needs to be said about these 2 defensively. In the 2nd unit, Kevin Garnett will play the pivot and will organise the defensive strategy. His presence and intensity alone makes the team better defensively.

Match-up with Hekate

Wall/Lawson = Parker/Thomas

Thompson/Gordon >> Korver/Johnson

DeRozan/Pierce > Carroll/Ross

Duncan/West >> Bosh/Millsap

Chandler/Garnett = Dwight/Splitter


- John Wall is a good defensive match-up for Parker as Wall is young, athletic and quick. He's one guy who can stay in front of Parker.

- Tim Duncan will contain Chris Bosh defensively, and score on him at will (as he did in the playoffs this year).

- Klay Thompson is a mismatch for Korver. He has too many offensive moves and should be able to score on Korver at will.

- Close match, but with the leadership of Duncan, Pierce, and Garnett, I think my team would edge out a 4-3 win.

Bad matchup for Hekate imo. Would have been closer if Thee Jazz Fan beat Hottknickk like he should have.

Not really. Tim Duncan is old and won't be able to close up on Bosh or Millsap. I will also have Dwight guard him.

As for guards. Hot doesn't really have a defensive stopper that can stop Parker. They are not bad defenders at all but they aren't elite either.

My only problem is containing Wall and Derozan but I can play two of the best perimeters in the league in Ross and Carroll if they force me to. They are also respectable shooter and Ross is a great slasher.

What was the final vote in my game with kkk. On tapetalk, so can't see the vote

- Tim Duncan matched up very well against Bosh in the playoffs this year.

- Ask any commentators and they'll say that John Wall is one of the best defensive PG in the game today. He's quick, athletic, and is committed to playing defense. Also averages 2 steals per game.

Tim Duncan didn't match up well with Bosh. Spurs matched up well with Heat.

John Wall definitely is a good defender but he is not elite at all. He isn't really that focused on defense. Even Tony Parker may be a better defender.

This year's Finals:


Tim Duncan: 15.4pts, 10reb, 2 assists

Chris Bosh: 15pts, 5reb, 1 assist


"Aging Tim" had the same amount of points as "Young Bosh", but Duncan also grabbed x2 the rebounds, x2 the assists, and anchored the defensive core for the Spurs. Not to mention the leadership that he brings to the team.

Tim Duncan is a great player. That's why I am trying to find small ways to tire him early and exploit the little holes in his game. Parker attacking from Duncan's side and dishing it to either Bosh or Millsap and Pick and Pop with either of them will force him to run a lot.

Great post.


I don't get why everyone is trying to say Duncan is so washed up and old.

The Spurs do not win any of those championships without him (including last year).
Duncan isn't as good as he once was, but he is still a darn good player. Certainly a lot better than Bosh.


Bosh is sorry, and seriously overrated.

Duncan is a beast. He averages great numbers still, and his team is still dominating. I don't think that you can throw dirt on his grave until he just isn't winning anymore.

I hate to say it, but I go with Hekate because he has Dwight. I like to bag on D12 as much as the next guy, but he's the best big in the series.

I don't favor kkk's emphasis on TD since we are doing a presumption for the next season only, not the rings and cups he had won over the years that he keeps posting the pictures of as an answer to any kind of critique.

If I was in the shoes of Hekate, I would start Terrance Ross over DeMarre Carroll and Joe Johnson over Kyle Korver. Tony Parker would perform a lot better than the opposition. But would got beaten on pace. Nick's PG's are a fast duo followed by E Gordon. Hekate would give up a lot of fastbreak points away in this one. But the difference Nick puts over Hekate in backcourt pace is not enough to cover for the lack of bench and frontcourt Nick has against Hekate, so I think this would be a 10-15 point win for Hekate in a sole game matchup and a 4-2 win in a 7 game series.

Maybe I should but voting already has started. I said that I can play Carroll and Ross to compensate for any disadvantage I have got on my perimeter athletically. Tony Parker is getting old fo sho but he is still a very underrated defender. He can hold his own against Wall.

Very, Very close could go either way 4-3 but Nickkks SGs and Big game experience (Timmy D, Chandler, Garnet, Pierce) win this one just . SG is really the only standout position against these two teams PG and C cancel out, small edge at PF to Nickkk, very little in it at SF.

People should vote.

My team is still better than any of these teams.

Welcome to the club man.

My team is better than both these teams


How in the world does a team that starts Korver and Carroll make it to the finals?

Who is the better player?

Ginobili or Green?

I have made some posts explaining the situation. I will say it again here. Korver and Carroll won't play 30 minutes. They are there to do their jobs to let Parker-Bosh-Dwight combo, my teams backbone, play. Offense will vary with different rotations and Korver and Johnson with my trio finish the game.

My guess is Jazz supporters only watches Jazz games?


Ask any commentators and they'll tell you DeRozan & Thompson are two of the best young players in the game today - part of the reason why they were chosen to represent USA this year over. Klay Thompson is easily the best 2-way SG currently playing the game today and is poised to receive a max contract next season. DeRozan just had a breakout season and averaged 22.7pts, 4.3reb, 4.4assists last season. He almost single handedly carried TOR to one of their best season/offseason in the franchise history - easily their best wing player since Vince Carter.
