LA clearly going for nasty D. Assuming they are going for the strategy of we might not score much but you'll score even less.

Going for nasty D - True
Not score much but you'll score even less - False

The team has Kareem who's practically unstoppable. Moncrief can score at will. Both of them shares the ball and what better Third Scorer to share to than Kelly Tripucka who averaged 26 a game on 48% FG and 38% 3FG?

Not to mention Don Buse who can find these guys in their spots. Roundfield and Kareem will dominate the boards for more possesions, hence more shots.

And then there's the brick wall defense from the starters (outside of Globo Gym guy of course) and the bench, who can score as well.

I wouldn't say Kareem was unstoppable..Moses played him well, even in his prime, plus Bill Walton gave him some fits.

34 points per game on 57% shooting. Maybe I am stretching it but, that's pretty close right?

Well, I imagine Bill had to go through Kareem in some capacity in 76-77, right?

After all, that was Bill's / Portland's Championship season. Says a lot about Walton to get a Banner and Finals MVP while Kareem was in his prime.

As I check the Head-to-Head Finder, looks like Bill Walton's team was 3-2 vs Kareem in his championship year, too...

That's why I'm thankful I chose Walton...he was/is a very under-rated all-around Big Man that made his teams better.

You mean the year Kareem averaged 34pts/17reb/4apg on 60% shooting in the Playoffs?

Sure Walton's team probably swept them, but it does prove the point that Kareem is nearly unstoppable. Now add Moncrief and the teams All Defense loaded roster. Best team, by far.

I see you added "nearly"

My thoughts on Kareem, while being perhaps a Top-Three Center of all time, are that he achieved those stats with HOF-caliber PGs (Oscar Robertson in MIL, none other than Magic in LA), and it would be next to impossible to pair him with a similar PG that could get him tio produce like that again - in THIS format.

While I LOVE Moncrief and your backcourt, I'm not so sure that Kareem would produce those same numbers you stated with them.....

[Rondo2287]

Ok, well if Kermit isnt eligible I'll take Lonnie Shelton

Why not? He had those numbers in the 77 Playoffs without any HOF players playing with him. He averaged 26/13/4 on 57% in the season as well. That's with no Magic or Big O.

Buse and Moncrief shares the ball, getting him his 24 shots won't be that hard. Add to the fact that he's ultra efficient, those numbers are easily attainable.

If we can get these next two picks in quickly, I will be able to put my pick in quickly.


Otherwise, I am off to head home.

Regardless, you're up in the coaches round.
