[Jazz and Utes]

Russ / Spida / Gary Harris on the court at the same time would be fun to watch

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

toss up kind of for me, but GH's hands should have lost last round so I'm going with Siro for my personal tie breaker.

 

[Siro]

Intense matchup.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Great matchup. Two of the top teams in this thing. Hard to decide, but I think GH gets a slight edge with Harden and Gasol. I really hate Roberson in the starting lineup with that injury that he’s coming back from and I’m not bothered by Doncic starting as I think he’ll have a great opportunity to contribute from day one.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Westbrook/Mitchell > Dragic/Harden
Green/Gasol > Millsap/Jonas

Doncic and Roberson are both meh. Roberson is better as of right now but a bad fit.

Siro's bench > WCs bench

I dont like Doncic starting but I also dont love Roberson starting with the group around him. But Harris would probably come in pretty quick and/or start anyways. But the same could be said of WCs team, just about any of his bench guys would start over Doncic, namely Lou, TJ, or Iguodala.

I think Jackson and DSJ will have big jumps this year. Lou is a really good bench scorer to counter Harris.

This one is very close. Siro's bench puts his team over the top for me slightly.

 

[Siro]

Imagine if GH ends up in a tie for the second time in a row...

I hope I don't have to deal with that.

 

[The Midnight]

Yeah this is tough. REAL tough. I'm tearing my hair out trying to decide.

You kinda lost me when you said Siro's bench is better. I think it's even. Ayton is a rookie, I do think Gortat will still be a bit better in the first year. Lou is a better scorer off the bench than Smith Jnr. who's still finding his feet. Harris is good but Iguodala is also solid defensively. TJ Warren isn't a pushover neither.

I still think the bench is pretty even.

When it's this close I always ask myself "Who's the best player on the court?" rather than going to the bench like most people do. But in this case Westbrook and Harden cancels each other out (previous 2 MVPs). The 2nd best player for both teams for me is Donovan Mitchell but then WC has the Draymond & Gasol pairing. So again, that's tough.

Like I said, it's too close to call for me. Every game would go to double OT. And the 7th game would probably go triple OT.

 

[The Midnight]

Ok so finally I've decided that I like Harden, Draymond and Gasol more than any 3 best players from Siro, so I'm gonna go with WC.

Sorry Siro.

 

[The Midnight]

Wow, this is close.

I really like how you can't see the votes before voting, it means you're not letting the result affect your vote. I like it quite a lot actually. Makes it much more interesting.
