24 Minute NBA Playoff Game 4

[SJ76]

LOL this is turning into an instant classic mock match up.


Best
part is SJ isn't even in this match up.


But its good to know, if I
ever have priorities the hoop is keeping me from...I'll just go off the deep end
on the Braska boards. My schedule should open up nicely!!

Are you doin the baseball mock dickweed?

If by dickweed, you are referring to me, I will point you to the baseball mock thread where I very clearly gave my answer.

It's only February, don't go full Doug on me already!!

 

[broncosmitty]

Oh, why would you think I was referring to you?

(I was referring to you.)

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Simple. Immediately after I posted you asked your question considering you were also the most recent post before mine...I safely assumed you were not talking to yourself.


Didn't need Sherlock Holmes on that one. Doug himself woulda sufficed.

 

[broncosmitty]

That does make sense.

(I agree Smitty. It was obvious you were speaking to him.)

Come now, don't think so... Hey, you ain't doin the fantasy baseball league this year?

 

[Nosferatu]

I am so glad she is doing better and finally pain free.

Aside from dealing with my second wife (Nos) everyday I'm doing great. Both my wife and nos are the smart ones in the relationship and keep me in check.

Hey, why I gotta be the wife?

Ritz has 2 guys on his entire roster (and I'm assuming the second one is Mikan) that averages 10 rebounds, and only 1 guy who can spell defense... Barkley will KILL Dirk... You are aware that Russell is 6'7" and he's not facing a brute like Wilt... Skyhook to death...

WLK - 126
Ritz - 119

 

[broncosmitty]

Isnt Barkley 6'4"?

Still watching this game in my minds eye...

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I like Ritz on this one

Barkley is 6'4" but you know as well as I do Dirk is way too soft in the post for Barkley... My inside game is miles ahead of his... He gets nothing offensively from Russell vs KAJ he's like a 45% shooting post player... I get you guys like offense and pretty looking shots, but jump shots are harder to make than post shots, I own the boards... My SG would be his 2nd best rebounder on damn near his whole team... For me to beat Shane and lose here is comical... Somehow the "gotta go with my rankings" disappears... Somehow better players don't win but the "sum of it's parts"... The guy who cried about defense all draft long ignores 1 team is more defensive... Bullshit...

 

[Nosferatu]

I looked at this game all day. I have to go with WLK. As much as I love Ritz's starting 1 - 4 I just think the paint would be owned by WLK and that's the difference for me here.

 

[wlk3]

Second unit...

Curry < Pearl
Billups < Thompson
Hill < Barry
Kemp < Webber
Mikan > Walton (I'd go Walton but I'm trying to be objective and since Mikan dominated his era)

Only thing I would disagree with is i'd take skinny in shape Kemp over CWeb.

I retract my vote I cast for your team.

 

[Nosferatu]

WLK Was ahead in the Rankings so we still need Smitty and or DJ to vote...

 

[Nosferatu]

I retract my vote I cast for your team.

Son of a...

 

[Nosferatu]

I retract my vote I cast for your team.

Your team is easily a favorite of mine I just don't like your 2 Centers as much as others do. I think Parker, Dirk & LeBron would be amazing together though...

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I have went back and forth on this one it is that hard.

I think UK makes a good point. Parker and Lebron could be a great duo. Allen automatic. This team might be perfect for the overrated Bill Russell. Add in Dirk. The 2nd units are similiar but the edge to WLK.

Too much Lebron and Dirk in this one.

You might be right, but I think Tony Parker is miles better than Jason Kidd and with Ray Allen shooting them 3 pointers along with Dirk, I think it would be if Ritz's team is hitting those three's. I don't remember Kidd being a defensive player either. I assume that we are going with all of the players working together and not being selfish - so with that in mind - Lebron makes it really good
