Write up:

Good luck Dr. P…

Kobe goes HAM here.
Jet provides spacing in the SL and keeps Wall honest.
Tmac is a great second option and keeps Kawhi busy for sure.
Rodman can guard AD no problem.
This is past his peak Marc Gasol.
Simmons / Posey of the bench is very nice!

MadNESS has flawed offensive roster with Simmons, Kobe, Tmac spacing and Rodman and Howard as frontcourt. Our defense is excellent with Kawhi on Tmac, Battier on Kobe, Wall on Simmons and great defensive frontcourt in Davis and Gasol. AD will be able to stay near the rim and block a lot of shots along with our perimeter D. Gasol and Davis have 3pt range that will drag Rodman and Howard out.

Offensively our team makes more sense with Wall/Davis, Kawhi at his peak, and good shooters around. We have an all-star off the bench in Pau to match Simmons. Our team is more balanced on offense with perimeter and big man stars. He does not have a great answer for Kawhi with Tmac on him.

Madness has too much fire power - even with Dr's defensive prowess. you need to be able to score and I think Ness wins in an long series -

4-3 Madness

[Fadeaway_J]

Ditto my previous comments about Ness's team, and then throw in the fact that Dr P has even more interior size to clog up the paint and even better covers for Kobe and T-Mac.

Starting Marc seems like kind of a pointless move but Pau is getting his 38 minutes regardless.

Vote: Dr Positivity

I've got Ness with a better starting lineup. When Simmons joins Kobe and TMac, that could be special. I don't love Wall as a point guard in these.

Vote - Ness

[Dr Positivity]

2-1 MadNESS

This will be really close. Madness has a huge team and it's extremely physical and will get bunch secondary chances to score through rebounds, defense and Kobe will have some high scoring games but the spacing is still an issue for me. Dr P has the better fit and really talented as well. I think the offense will flow better overall for Dr P

vote DrP

Need a tiebreaker vote

Benching Simmons is a reasonable adjustment by Ness, but I still think he's built a dysfunctional team due to having bad spacing and relying on 2 iso-heavy scorers.

Vote Dr P
