Post#1 » by Vorikan » Mon Jun 17, 2013 9:24 am

Potential,best shooting team of all time :D

C:Bargnani/B.Mullens
PF:Bonner/Battier
SF:Korver/Novak
SG:Da.Green/Kapono
PG:S.Curry/I.Thomas

How would teams even defend a team like that ?

How would they even defend other teams like that?

They might sneak in if they hire Mike Dantoni and try to outscore the opponent along with the rare defensive stop.

Nope...they've got no shot. Just too weak defensively to win games, particularly in the interior. Even offensively, they have shooters but very few players who can penetrate and create open looks

That team would be awful defensively and the boards. And offensively you don't have anyone that can create other than Curry. Three point shooting isn't everything.

The most penetrable team ever.

Maybe the playoffs at the ASG 3-Point Shooting Contest.

Maybe, you have Bargnani on your team.

Mike D'Antoni is boarding the plane right now to whatever city this team is at.

Will they make the playoffs? I might want someone better than Bonner at the PF...

They'd get absolutely abused inside. I don't see that as a playoff team, but if it were they would be a very quick exit.

Swap Dirk with Bonner. Doesnt help too much for the defence, but adds another real option to them tea.

That team might just end up with the worst record in the history of the NBA.

holy cow, that's a weak team. What is that an all-shooter team? I can't even imagine how bad Bonner-Bargnani will be both on defending and on the glass. Wow, this frontcourt could haunt me in my dreams.

They would be a run and gun team, but no. not enough defense at the 1 and 5. Teams would eat them alive. I dont think they do better than the Kings or Raptors did this year.

Prime Shaq would break Wilt's record if he played against that team.
But do you know what they call a fool, who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death because it's cool?

Maybe they would break the Bulls record, but would mistake the W and L columns.

9-73 for their record would be my bet.

That team just can't defend. Green gets open shots cause team adjust for TP, Duncan or even Manu. No way teams are doubling Bargs, Bonner or Korver.

Bargnani as your center? Good luck getting rebounds.
