Team A ha no post up option , to many players who pose no threat for offense, where the defense can sag off and no one to stretch the court.

Team B has Bonzi Wells who was under rated in his day, he can get to the hoop. I will go team B

Team A in a monster win.
Lockdown frontcourt, Artest on MJ just to slow him down.
Scoring machine guards.
One of the best pure points to run the bench.

Sweep in the PS.

I don't know about a sweep, but... OUCH, Eddy Curry... :lol:

I actually pretty much like the dynamic backcourt of Westbrook-Iverson, and Artest is a pretty good match-up on Jordan (taking turns with Rodman and Westbrook). Rodman/Ben Wallace is extremely awkward even in this series of rather awkward teams, BUT... everything runs throgh the back-court anyway, AND whenever it's needed, you can always insert Rasheed... and VOILA... it's almost perfect. Rasheed is a key player here in my eyes... the bench of Team A looks much better...

Team A in 6.

Voted Team B in 5. I hate the way Team A is built - Westbrook/Iverson backcourt tandem is a recipe for disaster, they're extremely redundant, and they basically have zero inside scoring (assuming Rodman/Ben get a lot of minutes, and Sheed is used rather sparingly as a bench player - personally, I'd definitely start Sheed with Ben, but whatever). They would have horrible spacing (unless Sheed plays a lot of minutes, considering his stretch 4 qualities).

Both teams have a lot of knuckleheads, but Team B seems like the better fit. They may seem to be mediocre defensively, but at least their spacing would be better. I just trust MJ's leadership to keep the other guys in check, and you know - great offense beats great defense - Team B has a lot of players capable of exploding for a big gime, scoring-wise.

Honestly, I don't really see Artest slowing MJ down. He's too slow. Bigger, physical defenders rarely worked well, defending Mike. Someone smaller, with great quickness, smarts and tenacity, like Dumars or Payton, would work a lot better.

Am I coach of the team?

If I was coaching team A, immediately I'd line them up:

Westbrook
Jackson
Artest
Rodman
Rasheed

Still a great defensive team but with much better spacing and some decent scoring in the front court now.

It'd have a field day with the weak defensive front court of Team B.

Team A in 6.

Team B would win because I think most of the players on that team would respect Jordan enough to let him lead. Team A has a lot of talent and probably better defense but as soon as that team is in a tough situation they would implode and there is no real clear leader on that team that could bring them back together. I would love to see someone coach team A lol. I can't even think of a offensive system that would work for team A.
