I think it's really, really close in this one. I think West would get to Jackson pretty good in the 1st and 3rd but I don't think what he would do would be enough to counteract the fire power of Barry and Barkley. Having Barry and Barkley Running a pick and roll, while using Vlade as an interior passer would create a pretty dynamic offense. Defensively they get away with having Barkley and Vlade on that backline against Sabonis and Nance.

2nd/4th Quarter I have slight edge to 500. I don't love Marion next to Magic in the half-court but he would be fantastic on the break. I like Sheed/Hornacek to space for shooting. But I think Ritz' offense is really well constructed too. They could cross match defensively to put Walt on Hornacek, Reggie on Marion (who's not a threat in the half-court) and Worthy on Magic.

So I have Ritz in a really close game.

It's pretty close... I got Ritzy behind 1 after 1, West hits a 3 down by 2 at the buzzer... I got Frazier and company going up by 5 going into half to winning the quarter by 6 behind some big 3s from Reggie and some good play by admiral... Ritzy extends the lead in 3rd the by Rick Barry for a 4 point lead in the quarter, going into the 4th up by 9... Magic pushes 500 back going up by as many as 5, but only outscores Ritzy by 7 in the 4th...

500 - 122
Ritzy - 124

I gotta be honest I looked at this for a while I give a slight edge to 500 in both lineups.
