EHB = 1
500 = 6

VOTED = Ritz, Nos, Smitty, Gold, Milk, Hockey, UK

 

[Ritzarmy]

I vote 500 on this matchup. I like EHB's starters but I just don't like all the Centers on his team. I feel his team will be slowed down and depth at other positions will play a factor in the game. 4 centers is to much for any team IMO.

 

[Nosferatu]

This is probably the closest matchup, not sure how you don't like the centers, I would have started Moses over the most overrated player of all time, I like EHB's team but 500's is just better IMO.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I'm going 500 as well. Don't like Russell at all.

Bird is awesome and Gervin at SG is great.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I have to agree with Nos on this prolly being the toughest matchup. I'm gonna go with EHB cuz I feel he has the stronger bench and while Nash is a great point guard he sucks on D. He might have to play Kyrie more.

 

[broncosmitty]

Idk on this one yet.

But EHB would be better with Malone starting imo.

Nope, I do know. Dirk is the only PF on EHBs roster and I'm no Dirk fan.

500 it is.

i kind of agree with Ritz... EHB had a huge advantage in snagging nowitzki and nash and being able to have a USA stud on the bench... But his fatal flaw is having Yao Ming... having 3 great centers just weakens the rest of the team IMO... Would have loved to see EHB drop moses malone or Russell and get another Stud USA PF or SF... then he would have had the win in the bag IMO...

 

[Nosferatu]

I have to agree with Nos on this prolly being the toughest matchup. I'm gonna go with EHB cuz I feel he has the stronger bench and while Nash is a great point guard he sucks on D. He might have to play Kyrie more.

Kyrie is not the answer on D.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I like 500 here. Bird makes the whole team better, is a great passer, and works well with Zeke. Iceman tough at 2G
500

 

[Gold Rush 86]

Kyrie is not the answer on D.

Kyrie isn't the answer on D but compared to Nash he is way better.

 

[Nosferatu]

Kyrie isn't the answer on D but compared to Nash he is way better.

That's like saying it's better to die of a heart attack than a stroke, either way you're dead...

 

[broncosmitty]

If only EHB had Delavadova to backup Kyrie, backing up Nash.

(I think 500 is my favorite to win this Mock. Kukoc being the X factor.)

 

[Ritzarmy]

This is probably the closest matchup, not sure how you don't like the centers, I would have started Moses over the most overrated player of all time, I like EHB's team but 500's is just better IMO.

I'm saying he has to many centers not that I don't like them. I feel he drafted 1 to many. He has only 1 PF which I think hurts him.

 

[ehb5]

Dear god what the hell happened hear?

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I think Moses could play PF he was 6'10 215 and Dirk is 7'0 237.

 

[ehb5]

Nash and Isaiah are both great
Wade is better than Gervin was great
Bird is better than Durant
Dirk is better than petition
Russell is better than Ewing

And the benches aren't even close! I have 3 players better than his best bench player! Granted 2 are centers but you forget they don't all need to play. If I need a backup PF Durant and Russell can give minutes there as well as Moses (one of the 15 best players ever - who isn't even starting for me!)

 

[ehb5]

In addition a nash/wade/durant/Dirk lineup would be literally unguardable and dirks one weakness is completely protected by the greatest defender of all time...not to mention Moses at times

 

[ehb5]

I'm saying he has to many centers not that I don't like them. I feel he drafted 1 to many. He has only 1 PF which I think hurts him.

I have 4 players who can easily play PF

500 has a really good squad.
