Gas’ Case:
This is why my team will win...
The Utah Jazz... I mean my team, is the most powerful, most awesome, insanely good team ever.
We will call them The Unbeatables
1. The Unbeatables are so well rounded, they make circles look square. We got elite shooting, dribbling, passing, defense, shot blocking, stealing, spacing, team guys, great guys, tough guys, smart guys, fast guys, tall guys, funny guys, loveable guys, They can play fast, slow, new school, old school, you name it, they can do it. Every guy on my team except Gobert can shoot the 3.
2. The Unbeatables are coached by Quin Snyder.
3. If the Unbeatables cant beat you fair and square, they will just beat you up.
4. The Unbeatables have tricks up their sleeves. Laimbeer, Oakley, and Artest will come off the bench and play super dirty, physical, and rough. That will bait the other team into trying to play the same way but they wont be able to match it. Thats when Ginobili comes in and starts flopping and drawing a massive amount of fouls. All that gets in the heads of the opponents causing them argue with the refs and get ejected.
5. Joe Ingles - picture him draining 3's then staring down his man. Its probably the coolest thing I have ever seen in a Jazz uniform.
6. Gobert's defense - Nuff said
7. Imagine Bird and Kyrie on this years Jazz squad.
8. Donovan Mitchell
The GOAT
Game, Blouses!
elan_prodigy’s Case:
Starters:
Bench:
Averages taken over players 5 year "Prime"
My Quick Takes:
Gas has the best player on the floor with Larry Bird but I have great players to counter and throw different looks at him. Scottie, KG, Bosh, Bobby Jones....
Prime Bird may be the best player on the court but imo he is the only player on Gas's squad that would make my 10 man line up. Gobert and DM are a possibility because Id love to have either but I have enough defense and rim protection and I like how Rip can use screens and elevate.
Manu and Ingles versus Ray and Rip would be amazing to watch.
I have the ability to roll out a modern day "death lineup"
"Death Lineup":
I have too much respect for prime Bird to predict a sweep but I am predicting a 4-1 series win.
