Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

Offensive Plan: MRR brings it up the court, sometimes Iverson, either way either give to Iverson, Have Iverson drive or give to reed, If the Defense collapses jus have him pass out for a good look for an easy shot or layup/dunk And ofcourse English can go Iso, if open Spencer can also be beastly. Not to mention when Okur and Z are on the court REED AND HAYWOOD WILL MURDER THEM, STICK THERE BODIES IN CASKETS AND NOT SHOW UP TO THE FUNERAL. And if they put Nash on IVerson then bam many deaths occur on the defense.


Defensive Plan: Force the ball to Artest, we can easily stop Artest, do everything we can to force the ball to artest, and try to tire the rockets double Jabbar and have MRR and AI constantly in the passing lanes gambling for anything with Michael Ray on Wade to stop him.
Overall Focus: Make them tired, fatigue them and have the bench come in so we can easily dominate. They have 0 defense on the bench, we would dominate no matter who is in the game on our side of the coin, I would even say they have negative defense, it would be better to have us play in an empty court, LaRusso would easily dominate like eating a pie. It would be easy as pie.

LARRY JOHNSON IS NOT STARTING.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

I think Houston's back court is great but Richardson and Iverson can actually outplay Nash and Wade, IMO, because they can't guard them, while Richardson can guard Wade, and Iverson isn't going to allow Nash to dominate him. Kareem will have to make up that advantage against Willis Reed, tough.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

I really liked the Spurs gameplan and I think the backcourt of Iverson and Richardson will be too much for the Rockets even though I do not like their attitudes. Also this is a legends draft and the Rockets only drafted one. Anyone could've just picked a bunch of current NBA players. My vote goes to the Spurs.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

Easy series win for the Rockets. Kareem dominated Reed, Nash shoots 10 percentage points or more higher than Iverson, Wade has the edge on Richardson and the forward matchup is about even. Even with their poor bench, Houston should take this in 5 or 6.

Well no, they drafted two, and Wade is a legendary caliber of player, and is certainly headed towards a Hall of Fame career. Nash with 2 MVPs is a legend, and HOFer.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

I'd like to pick the Rockets here because they have Nash and I don't like the Spurs, but I see the Spurs winning a close one. The Rockets backcourt is better. I can see starting Richardson for defensive purposes against Wade, but I think I would have started Goodrich. Reed was great, but Kareem is clearly better. The Spurs do have advantages at the forward spots with English and Haywood who are better than Artest and Elton Brand.

Overall the Rockets probably have an edge in the starting lineups, only because of how great Kareem is, but the Spurs are loaded on the bench, and will just wear them out. The Spurs have three HOF caliber players on their bench, while the Rockets have Redd who's certainly a very good scorer, but then the likes of Ilgauskas, Deng, Okur, Deron Williams, all far from legendary. Gus Johnson was great defensively, could put him at either forward spot, he was a great rebounder, and can score. Guerin was an excellent scoring, passing, and rebounding guard. Then they can bring in the high-scoring Goodrich. LaRusso and Larry Johnson are good options off the bench as well. Artest is a virus who I wouldn't want on my team. And I see the Spurs winning even without homecourt.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

I actually agree with BadBaronRudigor. I think the Rockets would take this one fairly easily (in 5 or 6 games).

What I meant was they only drafted one player from the past. That doesn't impress me.

Re: West. First Round - #3 Houston Rockets vs #6 San Antonio Spurs

I really, really want to pick the Spurs here because they've assembled a team wiht a good offense/defense mix, and have a solid bench. The Rockets have one of the weaker benches in the league and there's really no focus in terms of what the bench is supposed to do. There started 5 is a good collection of talent, but I really do not understand how they fit together. At the same time, Nash can bring players together and make things work, even though it could mean an underused Wade, and they do half players that can take over like Jabbar...

This is a tough call. And right now I'm the tie-breaker.. AHHHHHHHHH

Well MDIZZ does have a gameplan, while Carbo doesn't, and I really would like him to make his team make sense with a gameplan... Although MDIZZ you can't have forcing the ball to Artest as one of your main plans, or every team in the NBA would do that.

ie: On The Cavs, force the ball their PG all game. On the Lakers, make sure the ball is always with Kwame or Smush.

You're really good at drafting, but your starting lineup is just missing something. I mean, English and Iverson are two people that need the ball in their hands, and then need to shoot or drive, Richardson's passing abilities will be underused... You're playing two different games, Iverson and English are playing one, and then Richard, Haywood and Reed are playing another.

I don't know, it was tough but I thought in 7 games, the Rockets could have found your teams flaws, and that htye had the difference makers needed to beat you. My vote wouldn't have mattered though.
