Good luck, Jon.

The front lines are fairly similar, but our backcourt is far more dynamic offensively. Our bench is better as well.

SF - Chris Mullin (40) / Dan Majerle (8)

2013/14 Kevin Love - 18.5 fga
1981/82 Jack Sikma - 14.8 fga

83.4/85 fga

Lead by one of the greatest shooter/scorers in Chris Mullin, this team has elite shooting at every position while being one of the better defensive teams too. Buse/Majerle are an incredible defensive backcourt duo while Sikma can stretch the floor and provide elite defense.

Offensively I think I have the top two guys in Mullin/Love who put up 25.1 and 26.1 ppg. Sikma and Love are two elite passing bigs who will be able to help create open looks for Majerle and Mullin.

Defensively I think I stack up well

Buse is on Price
Majerle on Barry
Mullin on Havlicek
Love on Gasol
Sikma on Cowens

Majerle can cover Havlicek too if Havlicek finds the fountain of youth and gets going.

I think balance and depth give Jon_3232 the edge in this series.

Vote Jon.

[goober]

I really like Jon’s team, there’s some great defensive help, I’m going to give him the Nod

[Tony Snell]

Laimbeer's backcourt is much more dynamic so I like his teama ability to consistently provide offense and I like his bench. Vote: Laimbeer

[euroleague]

I like Love/Mullin on the perimeter, with Buse on Price being big here. The talent is similar, but the matchup favors Jon.

Vote Jon

[Laimbeer]

Jon advances.

GG, Jon
