Write Up:

Goodluck Fifi.

Defense - Plan on attacking CP3 on the pick and roll with double coming from Tmac - who will be guarding TA.
Billups on CP3 with doubles coming routinely. Iggy will stay with Korver and Tucker on Marion. With the doubles from Tmac, we hope to force turnovers with Iggy and Tucker. Tony Allen is terrible on offense and it is like playing 4VS5. Plan on keeping Embiid with Dwight straight up with Ben Wallace taking 6 hard fouls on him regularly. We have great team defense around Tmac, throughout the roster, and we will utilize Tmac is other ways with him being able to sag off TA.

Offense - We have god level Tmac here, with MVP Embiid. That is the best offensive combo in this draft. Match that up with Billups, who doesn't need the ball, All Star Iggy who doesn't need the ball as well as Tucker who doesn't need the ball. A good fitting unit with everyone who knows their roles. Picture the Championship Pistons team type team, but with better scoring. We will run alot of pick and rolls and pick and pops, but we can also just throw the ball into Embiid and let him go to work. Shooters everywhere. Tmac can ISO when needed. Very versatile.

Vote for Ness.

I thinking that this ATF will ending before PO started and this wasn’t happens so I wrote very short descriptions.

Roster:

Chris Paul - 13/14
Kyle Korver - 14/15
Tony Allen - 14/15
Shawn Marion - 06/07
Dwight Howard - 10/11

NAW - 23/24
Tayshaun Prince - 05/06
Ivica Zubac - 23/24

Rotations:

Chris Paul 36 / NAW 12
Kyle Korver 32 / NAW 16
Tayshaun Prince 26 / Tony Allen 22
Shawn Marion 38 / Tayshaun Prince 10
Dwight Howard 36 / Ivica Zubac 12

FGA:

Chris Paul - 14.0
Kyle Korver - 8.0
Tony Allen - 7.2
Shawn Marion - 13.4
Dwight Howard - 13.4

NAW - 6.6
Tayshaun Prince - 12.2
Ivica Zubac - 7.6

Total: 82.4/88.0


Attack :

In offense I playing a lot of p&r between Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. This is the best duo to play this actions and sometimes I forced this on PJ Tucker instead of Joel. Chris Paul can make some shoots from drop when he will be guarding by Joel. Joel is very slow on D. Kyle Korver running the screens like a Ray Ray. He shoots very well ( 49 % on 6 3PFGA ). Shawn Marion running on outside and make some space to play on post up by Dwight. Chris Paul plays some iso on White Chocolate. I think he can’t guard him in iso. NAW can be very useful to create spacing, he shoots ( 39% on 4 3PFGA ). Prince shoots on ( 52.4 TS on 12.2 FGA ! ) when in NBA was very good D so he can add in this match some huge points. I have Chris Paul on PG so Zu can make some easy points from his pass.

Defense:

I have the best rim protector in this draft. He can guard everybody on oponent team. Zu can guard Joel and the best centers in this league now so I have very strong center position on D. PJ Tucker can only shoots three from corner so I can guard him very light compare to other his teammates. I have two glue guy on SF, NAW has size and the best DEPM now. I think NAW can stoped very well scorer plays on high volume so he can guard oponent guards. Thybulle also like PJ Tucker can’t hurt my team in O.

Why I win this match ?

- Chris Paul has 4.65 RAMP , third best in the league and the best RAPTOR. He is definitely better than PG oponent and makes advance. He is floor general who knew exactly what doing on the floor.

- Kyle Korver can make 6-8 threes in this game when Dwight set screens and receive pass from Chris Paul. 4.8 ORAMP (the best in the league)

- I have defenders who can stop Joel when he is on the floor all the time. Zu / Dwight can handle with him.

- When on the floor will be Thybulle and PJ Tucker on the same time this would be plays 3 on 5 in O.

- 3.1 RAMP Prince and he was 17th in the league. He will be my secret weapon when my best options will be guarding more.

- Tony Allen second DRAPTOR and DRAMP on the league. He can guard every guard from my oponent.

- Shawn 3.3 ORAMP and 52% FG on 13.4 FGA and almost 60 % TS. He can score some points even if he will be guard by PJ Tucker.

Fifii starts only 1 creator in CP3 compared to 4 creators for Ness (Philly Iggy was a Point Forward). Unlike Embiid, Dwight depends on a ball handler to set him up. Korver and Tony Allen are very limited on the ball. I guess Marion could provide some secondary shot creation? Even so, he's nowhere near the level of T-Mac. The talent gap is pretty big. With all due respect, I think the series would have been a sweep in favor of Ness.

What fifii is really missing is an elite scorer. CP is a great facilitator and Dwight is great at a lot of things but neither is a guy I want as my leading scorer at this level. Replacing Tay or Korver with an elite scorer and I think this could have been a high end team.

As it is Ness has a great fit and easily the two best scorers in the series.

I agree Fifii is missing a stronger offensive player at SG-SF to keep up here, I also think Embiid will guard Dwight well. Vote MadNESS

I don’t agree with you. After I lost this series , I think would be 2:4. Two matches I can win when one of them Kyle Korver was hot and second you know series Joel. He has games that he scored not many points so this would be chance to win another game.

Thanks for series Ness.

Flaco is generally more down on Dwight than most.
