CB Draft Finals: (1) Mavericks vs. (1) Bulls

[nickagneta]

So are you willing to acknowledge Jennings/?Lebron/Illy/Noah is a championship team?

You know I was actually thinking GC/Lucky's team from 2009 with

Lebron James, Marc Gasol, Andrew Varejao, Aaron Afflalo, Ty Lawson, Kirk Hinrich, Jason Richardson, Charlie Villanueva,  Jeff Foster, Sebastian Telfair, Dominic McGuire, Darrell Arthur, Damien Wilkins,  Trenton Hassell, Joel Antony

But you're right your 2010 LeBron team was pretty good too, though maybe the worst of the bunch

Weeeelp i'm laying low tonight (a combination of work, a party tomorrow, a trip next weekend, and just general lameness) so my plan is going to be get as many more beers in me in the next 2 hours as I can and then stumble onto this site and submit a vote.

Right now I'm leaning Portland or Lakers but my mind isn't made up. Have at is, Hoss'

I think Dallas and Chicago are the two most talented teams in the league.

I think that, H2H, the Lakers would have beat Chicago, and Portland would have, too.  I think Lakers vs. Mavericks would have been epic.  They were the team that caused us the most matchup problems in my mind.

I just want everyone to know that next year with the first pick in the draft we will take: Novakaine

This was going to be my argument, just days after the gold medal game:

LeBron is a great power forward, provided he doesn't have to play against a front court with two offensively talented and flexible big men. Like the problems he had against the Super Gasol Brothers in the Gold Medal game, he would have the same issues against us except we're a better overall team than the spanish national team and the Mavs are a serious step down from team USA.

At the same time:

Lebron shot 8-for-13;

He hit the back-breaking three down the stretch;

Gasol/Gasol is a bigger and more talented front line than Aldridge/Horford.

One of the arguments that I was waiting to trot out is that the Grizzlies are actually a better team with Rudy Gay on the bench than when he's on the floor.  That showed in the plus/minus stats this year, and it showed in the playoffs last year, when the Griz looked great when Gay was injured.

My response to the Lakers/Mavs series would've been:

Too many American flags and memes. Didn't read.

I think Roy built a great team around Lebron, my only complaint (and saving grace) is that I think be shot his wad (in revolutionary war terms) too early on Irving and didn't secure the right second star. I acquired Holiday in large part because he's shown he could limit Kyrie Irving, and I saw this matchup coming as soon as I acquired Pierce.

Kyrie Irving is significantly better than Jrue Holiday.  People who disagree are either easily fooled, or are arguing in the CB Draft Finals.

I mean, seriously?  A two-game sample size when Irving barely played?  You don't give the voters a whole lot of credit by running that weak argument out there.

Kyrie Irving is going to be a top-15 player next season.  In terms of his efficiency, his clutchness, his ball-handling ability, and his swagger, I don't think there's a better point guard in the entire NBA to place beside Lebron.

Roy, you were going to come at me with Grizzlies stats, you know better than that.


8-13 while getting trucked on the other end by the Gasols. And at this point, I'm not sure the gasol's are better than LaMarcus and Horford.

As far as Gay goes, they were playing better last year when OJ went to the bench before Rudy got hurt. As for the plus minus, it's .4, not exactly drastic. To me it means they played a buncha blow outs.

But if your hopes were hinging on defaming ( ) our third-- and IP would say fourth) best player, then I would have liked our chances in that series.

Funny guy.  I think you meant to say "said IndeedProceed, about Travis Outlaw".

I remember being told a team of Andris Biedrins / Al Jefferson / Travis Outlaw / Nate Robinson was going to be the next great dynasty.  I remember being sold Kyle Lowry and Ersan Ilyasova as the NBA's next stars.

In other words, don't believe everything you read, folks.

[ronaldo943]

Kyle Lowry and Ilyasova are good players, and i think you are selling Kyrie way too much, Tyreke had a great rookie season and look at him now, he is definetly not the Kings franchise player
