VOTED = WLK, Milk, Ritz, UK, 500, Nos, Stoke

Neither of WLK's center are over 7ft both of mine are. I see my team with more balance of quality players then WLK's lone stars. My team is to physical for his team and feel I would wear him down. Bringing Houston off the bench to hit the 3's would almost be to unfair.

 

[UK Cowboy]

If you look at my point rankings, I had both of these teams top 3 and tied dead even on points. Real hard to pick . I think WLK has the stronger starters, though Mutombo is a nice presence. I like Ritz bench much more, and think he can exploit different
Styles and matchups a little more. If I could say tie I would. As it it....

Ritz....at the buzzer

 

[Pack 500]

WLK has the two best players here by a fair margin and that's usually too much to overcome in basketball

2 best players vs 5 good players. My math must be different from yours.

Why do you think Lebron was able to beat the Hawks so easily by himself? Hawks were injured but if healthy same thing would have happened. It's pretty clear the NBA is a star league

 

[Ritzarmy]

Still not understanding how 1-2 great players can carry there team compared to 5 good players playing as a team. Lebron dropped 40 on Warriors but who is winning the series?

 

[Ritzarmy]

I have 6 players picked with in the top 36 picks making a well balanced starting rotation then add in my bench players which are better then WLK's. Your saying people should trade to get into the first round at all costs so you have 2 awesome starters because that's all you need in basketball to win? I highly doubt that.

I just said it. The Hawks had five good players that won them over 60 games but were never beating LeBron. The Warriors are no comparison they have two stars including the MVP and run 10 deep. One of the best teams of the last decade without a doubt.

 

[wlk3]

Mutombo career 9pts 10rebs
Nate Thurmond 15pts 15reb

Don't have time to get all the info but in the finals vs Wilt, Thurman averaged like 20/20 for a 6 game series... Mutombo is no Wilt

Thurmond > Mutombo. Price is not far behind Wilkens. Baylor and Pistol Pete blow away Mac and Hill. And I like WLK's bench a lot more than most seem to here.

Unless they fight over the ball??

 

[Ritzarmy]

Thurmond and Price are close to if not equal to Wilkens and Dikembe. Baylor and Pistol Pete blow away Mac and Hill. And I like WLK's bench a lot more than most seem to here.

We can agree to dis.... Your wrong I'm right.

I will agree to this. Even if I did move on I don't see myself beating either yours or UK's team both superior teams to my Warriors I mean team.

 

[Pack 500]

One of them isn't AI.

 

[Ritzarmy]

One of them isn't AI.

Sprewell would throw some blows.

 

[wlk3]

You have 1 player, Kemp that is better in your starting 5... We can argue Lenny but I'll take Prices shooting with Baylor on the team... Thompson is the best bench player and it's not close, 2nd would be Marquees Johnson... Clifford is a 35% career 3pt shooter Yoa Ming out on the perimeter...?

WLK - 123
Ritz - 118

 

[MilkSpiller22]

WLKs starting 5 is scary good... i don't see ritz having a chance vs this team

 

[Nosferatu]

I really like Ritz's bench but WLK is better in the starting 5, i'm just not crazy about Hill and McGrady. I gotta ride with WLK here.

102 - 94

No Champions Championship is set. Whoever wins is disqualified due to being a Champion!
