Cool to see Carter vs McGrady. I stand corrected maybe this is the closest game, I think I just like Ritz's bench a little more but if I voted on this game tomorrow I might see it different.

Ritz - 99
Gold - 97

I got ritz here... Despite Gold having the best player on the court, I don't see the rest of his team measuring up with ritz's

Nothing really, I did the ratings and it was hard to separate some teams from the others, and then I did the game and didn't think about the ratings again and just went with what I was thinking right then.

Gold doesn't have the size to go against Ming and Motumbo, but you have too many guards who like to hold onto the ball and will at times forget to get the ball inside (IMO). It came down to which PG/PF combo I liked better and I liked Kevin Johnson/Charles Barkley over Lenny Wilkins/Shawn Kemp.

I have the most balanced of all teams I feel. Most have 3 great players while I traded back so I could have at least 6 good players. It's like Cavs missing Irving and Love and I'm Warriors with 5 starters. Just my opinion.

That's your opinion, I don't share it....though, since I have been ranked last or next to last in each of my last 3 drafts - and have never been ranked higher than 4th (that I know of), obviously my opinions are not shared by everyone else and probably should be discounted.

 

[Pack 500]

I think Goldy's team is pretty underrated. I got him here

 

[UK Cowboy]

Two VERY similar teams, talented but finesse. Carter and Hardaway on wing vs TMac and Hill, I mean, these are the same guys. In the end, Gold has the best player in Barkley, while Ritz is better at post D with Mutombo, and I like his bench pieces in Bing, Houston and Yao a little more. Real close

Ritz

Wrong wrong wrong no one on here is a expert. Hell you could have the best team if they actually played but we are going by different view points, stats, likes, etc. Some might not like your team because you drafted a guy they hate or really like your team because you have the most guys they know. These rankings and votings aren't accurate if so Nos wouldn't win mostly all of them Seriously we all draft and rank differently and eventually you will see you climb in the rankings. Some of us know who each other likes so we have a dilemma when drafting. Take the guy we like or who will get the most votes. It's a strategy that can make or break a team. We really appreciate your active ness and input in these drafts. Keep drafting and you'll see a pattern in the voting and what guys prefer. Wlk prefers a strong offensive line in football, 500 prefers a balance between offense and defense and Nos prefers men so everyone is different.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I feel I'm better at PG, SG, SF, PF while Ritz is better at C. I think both have good pieces coming off the bench.

Not sure I can agree with you there...

 

[Nosferatu]

Ritz moves on due to tiebreakers

Maybe I'm a little bias with KJ growing up a Suns fan in the early 90s. But the Suns had both Penny and Grant. I think both would of had HOF careers if it wasn't due to injury. But I have Penny valued better over Grant. Go ahead and go watch Magic vs Bulls in the 90s and watch Penny drop 40-50 points on MJ in the playoffs.

Penny scored 38 once against the Bulls in the playoffs, that was the only game he scored 30 or more against the Bulls in the playoffs.
