The point of this is to find the team that would win against their match-up. So check out the match-ups below and vote for who you think would win a series.
What is the criteria of voting? There are three things you should look at:
1) how good is this team? Flat out, could it beat everyone else if they were to play every other team?
2) how deep is this team? Can this team overcome an injury?
3) how does this team match-up with the other?
Using those three prongs, choose which team would win in the two play-off matches.

My squad is going to be based on swarming and suffocating defense creating turnovers and pushing the ball, not just for dunks and layups, but also open 3's.

I intend on running a system similar to seven seconds or less, but based around intense defense like the early 90s Runnin' Rebels. In the set offense, I intend of shooting a lot, while running the offense through the point position, but mostly, I would look to get open court and fast break points. Rebounding and great defense is how the team will get out into the open court.
I feel that 3pt-Chuckers cannot match-up with my team. Their smaller lineup cannot matchup with my bigger one as I have Dwight Howard and Steven Adams that are much longer and stronger than anyone they can put up there. If they want to go small, I can drop Paul George to the 3, Durant to the 4, and have Love at the 5, while inserting another defensive presence that can shoot in Wes Matthews. In terms of athletic ability, my team matches up well with them as Patrick Patterson and Kevin Durant are just as large as Serge Ibaka, while being just as quick; additionally, Bledsoe and Smart are two of the most explosive athletes in the match up. I have defense and play-making on the bench in Bledsoe, Ingles and Patterson, while also having a skilled low-post scorer in Pau Gasol. Overall, the 3pt-Chuckers will not be able to match-up with my team as I can go big while keeping athleticism.
