Which lineup would you take over the course of a 7 game series?

Curry, Klay, Iggy, Durant, Draymond

vs

Lowry, Beal, Lebron, Love, Embiid

The Warriors' death lineup vs the potential starting Eastern All-Stars. The only matchups I see the East winning are Lebron/Iggy and Embiid/Draymond. Pretty nuts how good the Warriors are.

Mavs sign Dozier. I feel like a lot of people will be kicking themselves over missing him. Maybe there were knee concerns long term.

im curious how you came to those players for the starting ECF All Stars...

C - Embiid
F - LeBron
F - Giannis
G - Beal
G - Wall

would probably lean towards that lineup. The only way Draymond is stopping Embiid is by kicking him in the crotch

Embiid better watch out Draymond is good at kicking there. Here is another good lineup:

Embiid
Porzingis
Lebron
Giannis
Simmons

Funny, Lebron would be the smallest.

This is all getting too bizarre for me. Let the rest of the league feud then the Sixers swoop in and take the throne.

Someone must've really gotten into Kyrie's ear about LeBron. I think he's making the wrong decision UNLESS he absolutely knows LeBron is leaving next year. I honestly don't see many landing spots for LeBron in the East, and going West would be a huge risk unless it's Houston or San Antonio.

any young player who is one of the faces of the nba would get annoyed by lebron's antics. kyrie has an ego, like all nba talents, can't blame him for being angry, goat or no goat

OT: The Eagles are working out former Kentucky role player Dominique Hawkins.

If any Wildcat was going to make the switch to football, I thought it would be Isaiah Briscoe.

Hawkins 45" vertical has quite a few NFL teams interested as a DB.

I figure we will start seeing it alot more with fringe NBA guys in the backcourt, like have seen it with PFs.

He didn't even dunk that one??? I like Smith, and I like other players in the draft, but I'm not quite sure why some are so averse to Fultz? You could not take Smith at 1 due to the on court/effort issues. Easy to second guess, but the Sixers gave up one pick with protections to get the best prospect in the draft (by the majority of experts)...pretty good business/strategy decision.

Too bad Joel would send that into the 10th row.

I don't buy all these Kyrie-LBJ thing. I feel its scripted that both needs excuse to get out because their team is sinking.

You go to social media to project an impression. Real stuffs go behind the curtains.

David Griffin must be in on it?

I don't think the Cavs will trade btw.

He already jump ship, because that team won't be making any plus moves from here and most times GMs will end up with biggest criticism. I could be wrong, but Cavs reminds me of Otis Smith's last few months with the Magic with all the drama and pressure with nothing to improve the situation at all.

Tough to say if Cavs will trade. If they trade and dont end up with a big upgrade then I'm sure LbJ will not be with the Cavs next season.

If you base it on pay-offs, their chance of LBJ staying is higher with keeping Kyrie than trading him for not a big upgrade. Chemistry also plays its role.

OT: what type of defense do you guys play on 5vs5 full court basketball? What type of Zone or man to man? Mostly zone?
