Arguments:

Nets: My squads game plan for this match up is an inside-out offense. You've got one of the best passing point guards ever in Jason Kidd feeding the rock to one of the greatest post players ever in Kevin McHale who's also extremely efficient, and Wilt Chamberlain who can't be guarded one on one. Either Kevin McHale or Wilt Chamberlain would require a double team (and if not Wilt would easily dominate Bob Lanier, or Kevin McHale would destroy Bob McAdoo who, to put it lightly wasn't a good defender.) If either do draw double teams, you have Wilt Chamberlain who is one of the best passing big men ever to pass it out to the best three point shooter of all time in Ray Allen, or the 3rd best three point shooter of all time Jason Kidd. Offensively my starting five has a lot of spacing and Jason Kidd will take advantage of that to get Allen/Artest/McHale/Chamberlain easy buckets, so we should be very efficient as a team on offense.

Defensively my one 1-5 are all very good defenders.

Jason Kidd is one of the best defensive point guards of all time, Kidd's all-around game, playmaking, rebounding, impact and production are just as good as Isiah's if not better. and I believe he would lock Zeke down.

Ray Allen is a very underrated defender in my opinion, but I think many would agree he's a great team defender (which is very good after you see the 4 guys he's playing next to) Ray Allen would do a swell job on Pete Maravich, and also make Pete, who's arguably one of the worst defenders of all time work on D.

A prime defensive beast in Ron Artest vs LeBron James would be a hell of a match up. I really think Ron's toughness on D would really slow LJ significantly.

Kevin McHale vs Bob McAdoo. McHale is one of the best post defenders of all time and his accolades speak for themselves, he'd do a phenomenal job on McAdoo, and also make McAdoo who's a bad defender work on D.

Wilt Chamberlain vs Bob Lanier. Wilt was not only a great team defender, but also a great one on one defender. Wilt is high on the list game's greatest volume shot-blocker. He ranks somewhere around the top 3-4 defensive centers of all time. In conclusion he'd absolutely shut down Lanier.

Extra note - I believe LeBron wouldn't be the LeBron that we all know and love against this squad. For one Wilt/Kevin are extremely good team defenders/help defenders and they'll both do a great job for the times he'd try to post up or drive, not to mention Ron would already be giving him a challenge he isn't all too used to these days.

Bench wise, I'll get into if needed in the thread, but I believe my bench co-exists overall better, is more efficient than his, better on defense as well.



Bucks:

Defense

When i look at this matchup the one thing that clearly stands out is that he has Wilt Chamberlain and Kevin Mchale in the post... neither of my big men are great one on one in that environment so defensively i would look at running a 2-3 zone and take my chances with his outside shooting... even though he has ray allen (cause to be honest neither kidd or artest really put the fear of god into me). I would use Lebron as ball hawk whether it be laying the double down on Wilt and Mchale or picking up and penetration thats created. To be blatantly honest as well with Lanier, McAdoo, Willis, and Haywood i have 24 fouls that can be laid on Wilt.. and id be willing to take my chances with him going to the line.

Offense

I drafted 3 of the league's best all around offensive weapons in history. Isiah, Maravich and Lebron create for others, create for themselves, can shoot, pass, and take it the hole. I would use Lanier to basically be a human pick machine for these the three guys and to crash the boards as his matchup with Wilt is not ideal in the post. McAdoo i would have play off the other three and look for his shot via running the pick and roll with any of my three ball handlers.

the bench

Ill make this short and sweet, outside of Willis (who i drafted to rebound and play intense defense) my bench is suited to score and score alot.. Melo and English have the green light at all times and Parker would be the straw that stirs the drink.

I don't see how either of these teams can lose, going to be a tough one.

I didnt say i wouldnt write something up. Im just sayin you could have the worlds greatest gameplan but if someone doesnt think you have the players to pull it off it wont matter. Alot of this is going to be based of the players and thats just how its going to be

I don't think that's the case for this particular match-up. I, for one, have no idea which one of these teams I would pick judging just by the rosters. I need the write-ups to persuade me one way or the other.
