From the desk of TLance...

If my team faces Milk in the semis, Paul George would be the primary defender on MJ and Laimbeer is teaching the Jordan Rules to the big men. I don't think Milk's SF's are dynamic enough to take advantage of Allen/Johnson/Heinsohn, and I think my team has the edge with bigs and PGs.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think the match-up favor Milk. To beat MJ, you have to have major advantages in other areas, and milk matches up well with TLances best IMO. Having Gilmore to check Malone is huge, and a strong guard like Billups to match up against Tiny helps negate the PG edge.

Milk

TLance but barely. Having MJ and Iggy is pretty hard to pass but TLance wins bc of the bigs.

I swear Laimbeer was on a different team before. But since he's on TLances squad now, I'm abke to vote for not MJ here.

I like that T has strength at the 4 and 5 and shooting from the outside in Allen. And Marques Johnson was great in White Men can't jump.

 

[Pack 500]

I vote 2 percent. As UK said Gilmore can check Moses but George on MJ is just not gonna be enough then you do have Allen guarding a bigger player. Bad matchup.

I'm so running around... I should be able to say something in about 15minutes...

Anyone else just picture him running around aimlessly?

 

[femurov]

Relatively even teams. I give the edge to Milk because of the MJ factor.

I got my team... My bigs have a lot of size over his bigs despite his bigs being better players... Tree Rollins is known for his defense... So I really see my bigs containing his bigs...

Paul George is great, but he is not a plus scorer... So, I don't see him scoring enough against my defense...

 

[tlance]

I think my team is ALOT better than Milk's outside of MJ.

Those who voted Milk, did you factor in that MJ has to chase Allen off staggered screens all day, hen contend with PG's length on the other end?

Ray Allen can easily guard Iguodala, because Iggy is not a scorer.

Lastly, while his bigs are good defensively, he has no answer for the playmaking of Mcginnnis at the 4. I think my bench dominates his.

I vote for me.

George is absolutely a plus scorer, but I don't need him to score at all.

Milk in a close one.
