NBA '11-12 666
- Thread starter batmon
- Start date
Gonna be another long and interesting season for LA.
What Nash will do:
1) Create better offensive motion
2) Knock down open threes
3) Create for others
4) Do the pick and roll with precision
5) Good lock room vibe
What Nash will not do:
1) Play defense
2) Be able to stop Russell Westbrook
3) Provide solid perimeter defense
4) Get better as a player (read: past his prime)
5) matchup well with fast PGs for 48 minutes
In short, the Lakers will fall short again, if they don't get Howard in a surprise mega-deal.
Bottom line, defense wins games (see Miami)

Well, besides the fact that Jordan is the GOAT, there's also:
*What do they have to go against Ewing/Robinson/Malone/Barkley in the post? Tyson Chandler (who's a better help defender than post defender) and...? Remember how the Grizzlies trashed the Spurs in the playoffs two seasons ago by riding Gasol The Lesser and Z-Bo in the post?
*Name a guard John Stockton didn't carve up
*Who is Carmelo gonna guard? Anybody at all?
*Team ball vs. hero ball
I'd love to watch the games, but OG Dream Team would take 'em.

David Robinson would feast on that weak interior. Chandler could stop Ewing.
Malone and Barkley > Griiffin, Bosh and Davis.
Jordan Prime > Old Kobe
Only Lebron and Durant are factors.
Westbrook would be forced to think, which he cant do.
Fuck the rest of these kids.

I want some of what you've been smoking

Magic was never able to defend quick guards...westbrook is faster than any guard Magic had ever played against. Nevermind the fact Magic hadnt played in a year
Bad Back Bird vs Lebron ...yea, ok
29 year old Jordan still had a suspect jumper...He's not gettin past Lebron as easy as he did the Angolans
Durant and Love would shoot over Barkley all day
Chandler would do a decent job vs Robinson...Robinson was a mid-post player
Mullin and Ewing were slow as shit
Stockton vs Westbrook...yea, ok
Malone and Melo is a wash
Pippen would shut Kobe down...not Lebron
The dream team was able to run against the competition in 92....not this sqaud
The Dream team was a great team but they were too slow to beat this olympic team. International rules favor faster, better shooting teams

Bird wasnt even a factor.
Westbrook cant play team ball and wont have an open look on the perimeter and wont be taking it to the hole against the Dream teams interior. so dont think he's gonna be doing that hero nonsense.
Drexler > Gordon and Melo ( who cant play team ball either).
Deron is their best PG but aint stopping Stockton no matter how athletic.
Its 5 Prime Hall Of Famers vs Old Kobe, Prime LeBron, and I can only shoot w/ no Post game Durant.
Who is guarding Magic? Dont tell me LeBron is doing everything.
Chuck Daly, Lenny Wilkens, P. J. Carlesimo, and Mike Krzyzewski > Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Mike D'Antoni, and Nate McMillan
They do this BULLSHIT every Olympics and try to compare muthafuckas to the Dream Team and shit always is a bunch of hype.
LeBron vs Jordan.
Barkley was MVP in the following season willing Phoenix to the Finals.

The obvious edge is the frontcourt for the Dream Team. Ewing, Robinson, Malone, and Barkley.
All other positions are pretty much a toss-up.
11 hall-of-famers on the original Dream Team, but there's at least 6 or 7 future HOFs in the prime of their career
on this one.
Definitely not a blow-out like some old headz might predict.

Not '92 Jordan .......2012 Lebron > 1992 Jordan
Str8 Buggin.
James 27 6 6 mvp
Jordan 30 6 6 at the Two position in the 91/92 season. mvp
And please dont turn this convo into LeBron vs Jordan. please.
Just that 91/92 season vs this 66 game LeBron season.

Give me a break Jordan and Pippen were in their prime and were the greatest defensive duo around. No one on the current team could deal with them out on the perimeter.
And Jordan had a suspect jumper? Wasn't it in the 1992 championships when he dropped all those 3 on the Blazers?
I can't even believe we're having this conversation. Wait it's soulstrut, I believe it.

Correction. I was thinking 90-91 Bulls/Jordan so i stand corrected
I still dont see how the Dream Team deals with this teams speed and outside shooting. Having 11 Hall of Famers is cool and all but its a different game now. You're a fool if you believe Drexler,Pippen,Barkley,Ewing Magic etc can keep pace with Durant, Paul,Iggy, James,Blake etc. FOH with that "smart ball" half-court shit. Old dudes will get ran off the floor and killed from 3 with Durant,Love and Kobe in half-court.
