Washington has editted our lineup to show how versatile in matchups we are.
Kawhi, Curry, DeRozan amazing players, and we have no hope of stopping them as such.
But we do feel goving heavy minutes to JW and PattyB will slow curry down, therefore making his offence go more stagnant, which therefore lowers all their players percentages.
We also have multipl SFs to rotate on Kawhi and we feel letting DeRozan loose sometimes is okay as he will start to chuck up inefficent shots more to try and take over the game because Kawhi and Curry will be smothered, and we feel DeRozan is the one who will do the least damage of the three.
Favours and Dedmon are two of the better perimeter defenders of bigs so when switched onto Bostons guards they wont be exposed.

The high pace offense will catch their team out of position often,
We will blast the John Wall P&R because none of his bigs will be able to defend it.
They lack the defensive ability (other than kawhi) to stop Washingtons assets, and as such our offence will be able to run rampant.
And their offence will be slowed because of our gritty, athletic, lengthy defenders.

Again I feel we matchup near perfect with them because of how many elite defenders we have.
And even though they have three great stars, we have three stars of our own whom arent that low a level compared and the depth we have allows us to smother their stars in bodies.

Please take a thought about this, thanks for taking the time to read this.

PHI has just to much star power
I think HOU upset is in order, they have the better PG, and their athleticism would be able to overwlem warriors.
DAL still to good allround for their matchup

Cleveland was the opponent in Round 1. In the 2nd round its Washington - just want to make that clear. How do you vote in a series between Boston and Washington?

I vote GSW over DAL bc of LBJ/Durant

BOS over PHI in 6 - Steph/Kawhi is a little too much here

GSW over DAL in 5 - I'm surprised people were so high on Dallas, so this one's easy to me with Durant/LBJ/Davis

Post #37 » by **Ralnor** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 5:54 pm

BOS in 6 games.

GSW in 5 games. Because of James/KD/AD > Kyrie/PG/DJ

Gotta go with Boston again in a close one.

Boston and GSW though Dirk off the bench would keep the series close for Dallas
