In case anyone is wondering why I didn’t give people the chance to vote at the top of this thread, I don’t think votes on forums produce fair results. I would rather the winning squad be selected through mature discussion and general consensus.
So, let’s hear what questions/comments you guys have about the format of the tournament and about who would win this first match-up.

i think the '81 team is a better collection of overall talent. they have size issues, but the '76 team has shooting issues. the '81 team can space the floor better and can run more. i'd start dj over lucas on the '76 team - just a better overall player. starting lineups compete talent-wise, but i just don't like the offensive makeup of the '76 team. throw a sg who can spread the floor in there, and they'd be looking better.
