How is that so out of the question? Your team has good defenders one through five, while still being able to put the ball in the hoop. We're in the east in case you haven't noticed. Name some lineups in the east that are better than that. Better yet, there are very few starting lineups in the entire league that are that good.


I don't think that lineup is better than the current 10th team in the West, actually. I'd take Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and Orlando in the East as well.

That's exactly my thoughts. I would even throw in a healthy Washington lineup in there as well.

Cleveland better than that one through five? No. The only position they have an advantage at is the three, obviously. The only starting lineup in the East that is better than that lies in Boston IMO.

skones, at this point I'm acually wondering whether or not we're even looking at the same lineups.

You do realize that the one we're talking about is starting Kyle Lowry and OJ Mayo right? You're ready to take that backcourt to the ECF?

Even the team's best players have question marks (sanity and injury issues). You want to put them up against Prince and Wallace, Lewis and Howard, KG and anyone?

Detroit's 1-5 has been the best lineup in the league for the past 5 seasons, and frankly, you'd be insane to pick Team B over the Pistons.

I think Mayo's game is better suited for the NBA than it is the college game. I think he's a 12, 4, 4 guy as a rookie with solid defense. If he measures at 6'5 and we take him, I like our chances. Lowry is on the same level as Delonte West IMO who just happens to start for Cleveland. Hell, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins start for Boston and they seem to be doing just fine. I think the guys who we'd have at the three, four, and five, open things up A LOT for our guards.

You mean the same starting lineup that is pimping a starting frontcourt with the combined age of 68 come next season? I'm saying starting lineup, not including the bench.

Dude, Boston and Cleveland both have top five caliber players on their teams. Guys that right now are among the favorites for the MVP. That Bucks team doesn't have anyone close to that level.

You're basing this Bucks' lineup off of potential in the NBA of not just one, but TWO of the starting 5. My God, of course I'll take the Pistons lineup over this one.

I guess we'll agree to disagree.

No contest...

Team B!

Nothing more to be said. That team could get you in the second round in the East.

Rose has a chance to be a superstar PG. I'd take that over anything else. Plus even though Yi is sucking, we also keep him with Team A.

Elton Brand might be Lt. Dan next year.....Artest is getting older and is nuts.....Sure I'd take them both on my team. But I'd rather have Rose than either of them if that is my choice.


And that's why I voted team A after all. Although I will keep this signature as I am lazy to make new one :)

Same thoughts here.
