Good Celtics references on this one. I hope they create something after this one because this stuff is funny, and I haven’t even seen Game of Thrones.
Baby Jesus!

Anybody seen the 2nd episode?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he-VxfjhZt0

Apparently, the realm is under attack by MJ and the 1992 Dream Team! ;D The media elected an All-Realm team to face the Dream Team. Tatum made the cut! Here's the roster:

Steph - Lillard - CP3
Harden - Luka
LeBron - Kawhi
AD - Tatum
Gobert - Embiid - Jokic

So, which would be your 12-man roster to face the Dream Team?

Can't include Giannis cause he has been brainwashed by the dream teamers. :P No KD cause he's injured. I guess no Klay either (although he gets no specific mention).

I've gotta say I have never understood using All-NBA teams made up of international players to compare with the Dream Team.

If I had to make a team following my own made-up rules of using US-only players (injury free), it would be:
PG: Curry / Lillard
SG: Kawhi / Butler / Klay
SF: Durant / Tatum / George
PF: LeBron / Blake Griffin
C: AD / Adebayo

The bigs would be eaten alive by the Dream Team bigs without Jokic, Embiid & Gobert. They'd still eat those guys up, but especially without them.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

It's just a game based on the GoZ series. Here would be my team:

Steph - Luka - Lillard
George - Harden
Kawhi - Middleton
LeBron - AD
Embiid - Jokic - Gobert

In a vacuum, Tatum > Middleton, but I opted for Middleton cause he's an off-ball specialist. I mean, I already got 2 ball dominant players in the second unit in Luka-Harden.

Ideally, I'd have selected Giannis over Gobert, KD over Middleton and Klay over Harden/Lillard. Again, in a vacuum, Harden/Lillard > Klay, but I believe Klay would be the better fit.

Nice episode again. They did a good job with that 12-man roster.
The guy that got snubbed most to me is Bradley Beal (also surprising that they Paul George got passed).

Here's the final episode. I bet most Celtics fans will like the ending! 8)

I loved the way the ending of GoZ mirrored and made fun of the ending of Game of Thrones.

I also truly loved the way they skewered Kyrie in these last two episodes.


I don't particularly like the fact that ultimately they chose to end this show by making a huge joke of Paul Pierce, but Paul himself seems to think it's funny (he changed his twitter avatar to a screen grab of him in the crown).
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I've never watched Game of Zones, does it have to be moden players?
Here is a 12 man throwback roster. Notice two of my picks were snubbed from the original dream team, they'll want payback.

PG: Isiah Thomas (the original), Steve Nash
SG: Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller, Michael Redd
SF: Tracy McGrady, Glen Rice
PF: Larry Johnson, Tim Duncan, Derrick Coleman
C:  Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal

I'm thrilled that you have Miller on the squad, he's one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. Btw shouldn't Nash start over Isiah? He led some dynastic offences with a myriad of lineups (I think he still crushed the league in team offensive efficiency even when the lineups he played in were more defensively inclined in some years).

I was going to start Nash but then Thomas and Magic couldn't do their pre jump kiss.  Plus Isiah was really p---sd about being pased over.  This way it's like he said ok I'll get my own team and we'll play.

Ah okay lol. Also I doubt they would've done that pre jump kiss, Magic kept Isiah off the squad.
