RR2 NBA FINALS
#3 SAB vs #5 ROY HOBBS
The stage is set for a dazzling finals. It's the established alpha of the league, McGrady, going up against newly minted alpha Demarcus Cousins. DMC is flanked by Brand, who is unleashed, and Manu who is the best player in the game at times, for a legitimate Big 3.
SAB is going for the 3peat and his starters are cruising. In essence he has a Big 4 with MVP frontrunner and last year's MVP TMac, 2nd Team All-NBA guys in the past 2 years in Deron & Lanier, and the most overqualified 4th banana in NBA history in prime David Thompson.
With alternate sub patterns for TMac and Thompson, there is always at least 1 killer wing on the court paired either with another, or a 3-D ace in Hawkins or Prince. I honestly believe if TMac disappeared like a Top 75 player, DT would be the league's best candidate to replace him. They just happen to play on the same team. But Roy already beat SAB in RR2, even pre-DMC.
The title is up for grabs. Let's begin.
