Orangello's case:


UGLI baby here doing a guest expert analization of Orangeyellows team.

I will go one by one down the roster starting in reverse alphabetical order of the players LAST name and list some key attributes/facts/figures//// for each member of the squad lets get started!

Westbrook, Russell: Averaged 20.4 FGA per game in the 2012 NBA playoffs. Thats 1.2 more attempts than teammate Kevin Durant was able to hoist during that same time frame.

Sabonis, Arvydas: A coach once said of Sabonis, " Once Arvydis is in the game, his feet never leave the floor." This is not because Sabonis was never subtituted for, but because he was born without the ability to jump.

Rice, Glen Not familiar with this player.

Paul, Chris Reports are that Paul has been off the pee this entire offseason. Barring a re-lapse he could be in for the best season of his career.

Mullin, Chris One of the most well rounded whiteys to escape the grasp of team UGLI baby.

Ibaka, Serge Took 4th place in the 2011 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.

Manu Ginobili Almost won the starting role over Danny Green for the 2012 San Antonio Spurs. Experts say next year is the year he finally gets off the bench.

Marcus Camby Really tall and skinny. Has banked more money than any other NBA player, when you take into account his college career under Calipari.

Barkley, Charles Some youngsters might know him as the "weight watchers" guy, others might know him as "the funny guy on TNT" maybe you think he's just that guy who got a DUI and has gambling problems, but NBA die hards will always remember him as the guy wh

That's my unbiased assessment. Hope I didn't leave any players out.


Hack's case:

I just want to speak on a few points considering my team. Ill leave it up to everyone's imagination what the game would be like.


1. The Shaq affect

To defend Shaq requires double and triple teams, which makes everyone he plays with better, and their jobs a lot easier. It spreads the floor in different way than a shooter does. It forces the other team to routinely leave their man, and gamble. It often doesn't work out for the opposing team if Shaq is playing with another superstar in his prime. In this case, I have two legit Superstars, Wade , and Durant. Shaq's rings were won with only one Superstar each time, Kobe and Wade. Just think what having two would do. Wade and Durant can have a field day while the other team is desperately trying to stop Shaq. Shaq was a force like no other and was probably the most physically dominate player ever.

Every where Shaquille has played in his prime, namely, Orlando, L.A., and Miami, he has taken his team to the Championship. And every time he moved on those teams fell out of contention.

2. Team Balance

My team has role players, do all players, and specialty players. My team has an excellent combination of finesse and power. If you look closely they all compliment each other in a certain way. Take for instance Wade and Durant. Both basically have zero weaknesses but excel in an area. Wade is more of a driver while Durant is lethal from the outside. They don't duplicate each other, but are both capable of doing just about anything. No one duplicates anyone on my team with the exception of maybe Rose and Wade, but they aren't starting together. Rose can provide the scoring punch off the bench.

3. Clutch time.

I have three guys who are as clutch as they come, Wade , Durant, and Horry. There are a few others that I wouldn't be afraid of putting game in their hands either.


Why I believe my team would win

The offense is unstoppable. The defense is good enough. The clutch is off the chain.
 
I wish Hack's team didn't have Blake Griffin, but I like it better either way.

I haven't decided. I really like his starting lineup, except for Griffin. Neither Shaq, nor Griffin can hit the mid range jumper or a FT...seems like that would be an issue.
 
Funny again UGLI .. damn, we need to see if Peppers hires out satnd-up. Serious though, you're on fire!

Yeah, have Ricky put me up and stage with a projector connected to my iPhone. I'll post on Jazzfanz and the patrons can follow along. They will love it.

Griffin may be the weak spot in my starters, but I wouldn't lean on his offense anyways. There are only so many shots to go around. I have plenty of guys that can score. Griffin would be a lower option, but how bad can he be when all the attention will be on my big three. And how bad could having Blake on your team be? Even if all he can do is dunk (which is complete nonsense, the guy has midrange) then what's the big deal? He can dunk on anybody at any given moment with relative ease. And that score will be a really high percentage shot. What's everyone got against the dunk? Two points is two points.

Fun fact. Blake Griffin shot 30% from 3 his rookie year.
