Write up: LeBron is clearly the best player in this series however a lack of interior defense will really kill him in this series. Dwight should be able to really take advantage of this series. My team is quick enough to keep up with his team as well. Ness may have the best player but I feel my team team wins out on overall talent

Total: 85.00 | 85.00

We plan to use our deep bench and run. We will feature Lebron and ample shooting, play making, and defense. Dwight cannot guard prime Odom. We will use quickness and versatility to get through this match up. We have Christie and Ariza to put on TMAC, and Lebron when needed in crunch time. Vote Ness.

Let’s get some votes!

[Fadeaway_J]

Both teams have lots of individual firepower as well as great shooting and playmaking. Dwight looms large here on both ends - Ness has no answer for him in the post or on the glass, and I don't see Odom doing quite enough damage on the perimeter to make that up on the other end. Most importantly, in this kind of series I think the importance of an elite defensive anchor is magnified, because there's so much talent and space on the floor that it will be damn near impossible to contain guys one-on-one.

Vote: Goober

Dwight is the only real Center here and has noone to defend him near the basket. Lebron should be defending TMac but isn't so TMac should score well. Better defense for Goober and more well rounded.

Goober wins.

[euroleague]

The big 3 of TMAC/Dwight/Hardaway overcome Lebron with role-players and Beal.

Vote goober

Spoiler:

Goober

Reasoning: MadNESS went all out with his unconventional lineup..I can live with Christie as a PG but I can’t overcome the fact with Lamar guarding peak Dwight at center which will be a nightmare more so than the other away around being a difference in this one.

[Fadeaway_J]

Goober advances.

[MadNESS]

Swept like a boss
