Ellis269's Case:

Starters

Rudy Gobert

Rodney Hood
Damian Lillard

Bench

Jonas Valanciunas
Dario Saric
Aaron Gordon
Kent Bazemore
Cory Joseph

I decided to surround the Wasatch Front with guys who can shoot and space the floor. Jingles still provides a level of perimeter defense and passing, while Lillard, Jingles and Hood focus on playmaking and outside shooting. I'm counting on a jump from Favors, Jingles and Hood replacing Hayward's offensive production. My bench was built to support my starters and offer lineup flexibility. Several guys can play multiple roles and fit well together allowing me to focus on matchups and mismatches. I have guys who can shoot, defend, pass and run the floor in transition.

[MVP]

This one is tough. Hard to vote against team with LBJ but I think Ellis takes this one.

 

[Siro]

If anyone is going to beat my team, I'd want it to be Gobert.

 

[Siro]

It's like my matchups don't exist. So lonely!

I voted #teamsiro

 

[Et tu Brute]

Tough eh...
Feels like a Finals matchup.

I thought part of the criteria for being in the comp was that you needed to justify your selections in any given match up?

Siro ain't doin that.

 

[The Midnight]

Again, DL will take a trade of our team for LeBron, Lowry and Beal in a heartbeat ... so I'm gonna go with Siro.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Ellis has a 3-2 advantage as far the starters go and Siro has the worst bench in this entire competition.

Ya, because the difference between Lillard and Lowry is the same as Lebron and Ingles. Got it.

The difference between Gobert and Howard more than makes up for that.

 

[Siro]

The difference between Gobert and Howard more than makes up for that.

True. Nonetheless, I hope you make it to the next round so I can give you a good spanking.

 

[NAOS]

I'm surprised to see Siro's team running away with this one. My vote in for Ellis. Siro's bench is very uninspiring and filled with hospital cases. And I don't like the way Siro's starters match-up, over all, with Ellis's.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Congrats to [MENTION=40]Siro[/MENTION]. Good luck in the finals.
