Holy shit, Ritz didn't add Hakeem....

I gotta think about this now. Was just gonna vote....

 

[Pack 500]

Nos

 

[Nosferatu]

As much as I have liked Ritz's 1 - 4 on his top lineup I just think my team has more talent, I really like Ritz's team and wouldn't blame people for voting for him but I believe I have the edge here.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Two outstanding teams. I've voted for Ritz all the way because of matchups, but I don't think he has those same advantages here. At first glance, I figured KG could guard Dirk, but I think the way to go would be Bird guarding Dirk and KGguarding LeBron . Both teams would have that great outside shooting big man, but Allen would have no answer for MJ. On the 2nd units, Nos adding Oscar helped more than Ritz adding Doc. Nos just has too much IMO

Yeah, that would have made it real interesting IMO, especially if Hakeem were on the first unit with LeBron and Dirk

 

[Ritzarmy]

I added Dr. J over Hill.

 

[Nosferatu]

Hakeem is obviously a good addition to any team but is it more of an improvement going from Mikan to Hakeem or from Grant Hill to Dr. J?

 

[Nosferatu]

I would have loved to have added Timmy but I already had Ice... I love the Oscar add though...

 

[wlk3]

Holy shit!!! I can't get to a charger for 2 hours and we're in championship game!?!? Let me look this over...

 

[Clayton]

Honestly no way of telling but my guess is that Ritz would have the better team in the modern game due to 3pt shooting

 

[wlk3]

First off... Charles Barkley vs Dave DeBusscher... That would be flippin AWESOME!!!

 

[Clayton]

CP3 also vanishes in the playoffs. I think most great players could take him out of his game. Mentally weak. Billups destroyed him.

 

[broncosmitty]

I like Dr J's lineup less than the Hill lineup. I loved the passing nature of all three ball handlers together. With Hakeem..... I don't know. What might have been.

Erving for Ray Allen. Isiah for Tony Parker. (Or Stockton). Or Hakeem for Mikan. Nos jumped leaps and bound with MJ and The Big O. But as much as I love DrJ, I don't think he brings the same spark to this lineup. As enough to outweigh Oscars arrival anyway.

And that first unit of Nos' is gritty and tough. Ray and Dirk have their work cut out for them. Lets face it, KG is old school dirty.

I vote Nos.

Congrats to both of you for putting together fine teams.

 

[broncosmitty]

First off... Charles Barkley vs Dave DeBusscher... That would be flippin AWESOME!!!

Yeah, that'd be a fun one for sure.

 

[wlk3]

I thought this would be easy once Nos grabbed MJ, but Ritz has made some great upgrades... I need to take a long look... Things I'm looking at...

Ritz's bench is pretty awesome... I'm not as big on Billups, but the way they are constructed he's not bad and Steph is in a happy place surrounded by Chuck and Doc...

MJ factor... It is HUGE, but he only gets 24 minutes...

LBJ and Dirk vs Bird and KG...

I'll be back... Nice match here!

HAHA, I don't think he's played with MJ, Bird, Moses and KG before, that might change his confidence level no?

 

[Clayton]

HAHA, I don't think he's played with MJ, Bird, Moses and KG before, that might change his confidence level no?

I personally don't like his game as much as he is hyped but its hard to hate on any team that has talent and surprisingly spacing like that.

Its just...you know...MJ wins again again. I guess I shouldve seen it coming

Clayton did you end up watching the Super Bowl?
