Summary:

Spoiler:

My starting 5 is elite at all 5 positions. 2 MVPs, 4 All-NBA, and an all-Rookie in Sabonis. My bench...don't focus on that. But seriously, Mason scored 17 PPG. He is an elite slasher who will get good passes and have spacing with my line up as every starter is a good shooter. Foster was an elite rebounder who could play solid defense. Cleaves, well Cleaves is because I needed another guy who could bring the ball up court. He will initiate offense and nothing else.

Offensively, my shooting will test teams. Lillard and Bird are elite long range shooters. Sprewell is very solid and has to be respected. Garnett and Sabonis are both elite shooters for their positions. More than just shooters, everyone in my starting lineup can make plays. Everyone can pass exceptionally well and attack the hoop so it will be more difficult to help and close out. I will run a lot of pick and rolls with variety of screeners/ball handlers even multiple in possessions to find favorable match ups.

Defensively, Sprewell/Bird/KG are all elite and will be trusted to switch freely. Sabonis has solid positioning to make other big men work. With elite perimeter defenders, I plan to trap/double a lot to cover for Lillard and Sabonis against the elite centers. With KG/Bird/Sprewell, I think other teams will struggle to score.

Match Up
Don't have time for a write up. Think people get how my team will play from the spoiler above. Good luck hooplah and I will say that my team will double Wilt hard.

[Hooplah]

PG Rajon Rondo $7
SG Jon Barry $3
SG/SF Dale Ellis $8
SF Reggie Lewis $1
SF/PF Antawn Jamison $4
PF/C Robert Traylor $1
PF/C Bob McAdoo $14
C Wilt Chamberlain $42


$80/100


C Chamberlain 38/McAdoo 8/Traylor 2
PF McAdoo 35/Jamison 13
SF Lewis 35/Jamison 13
SG Ellis 35/Barry 13
PG Rondo 40/Barry 8


In 89 Dale Ellis averaged 27.5 ppg on 48% from 3, knocking down 162 of them. In 87 he averaged 25 ppg in 14 postseason games before his Sonics fell to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Reggie Lewis made his first and only All-Star in 92, averaging 20 ppg. on 50% shooting. In that season's playoffs he averaged 28 ppg. on 53 % shooting in 10 games.

Wilt can look to hit McAdoo or Lewis out of the double, with Rondo having room to setup teammates with the spacing of Ellis, Barry, Jamison and McAdoo. Jamison is a valuable 6th man.

Should be an interesting matchup, good luck BdeRegt.

God this game is difficult to judge. I think I'm going to go with bde. Both teams have elite top tier talent and have scoring for days, but I like bde's fit better.

[goober]

BDE for me. Those forwards are too good. Not crazy about McAdoo with Wilt either.
