They are not losing by 25! Are you saying you agree with that? You have them losing by 25 points? That's why the thread was made. The thought of them getting beat by 25 fukking points is ridiculous!
i want you to understand something. the finals yall just watched between miami and okc. was one of the worst displays of solid fundamental basketball i have ever seen. guys couldnt do basic stuff. because both of their teams are not complete. they have huge holes in 2 areas. no point guard and no low post presence. and it showed. yes pipp, mjay, ho grant, stole some ships while every old head was done in those years. it worked well. but til this day i still stick by aint no way pip, mj, ho grant or dennis/kukoc. are going to beat a full healthy laker roster. not going to happen. and tahts Pip, Mj. the best 1 2 punch we've seen in a long time. yes on paper dwade and bron should be those guys. but they arent because they are both scorers.
so with that understanding. thinking a bunch of fast dudes is enough to make it a game is ludicrous. kevin durant has ZEROOOOOOOOO defense. if you dont throw him the ball so he can steal it. he cant do anything with you.
westbrook has good defense when he feels like it. but have you ever seen him slow or stop any elite pg's NO. what on earth would he do with magic in the post? NOTHING. magic doesnt have to guard him on a fastbreak. just take 2 steps back and wait for him to pull up then close out. 6'9 closing out is different then a normal 6'2 to 6'4 guy that he's usually seeing.
and we're talking about these guys not playing in soft no touch rules. these dudes dont know how to deal with that. if we're not talking about kobe. the rest of these dudes are SOFT. because they were raised in a SOFT era. aint their fault. they have rules in place to make sure these dudes get off and score a lot. do you not realized that entire 92 roster with laettner included had the ability to dismantle their man 1 vs 1. you cant say that about this dream team. if push comes to shove and they aint having bean. what are you going to go to in the half court ? (Bron the bulldozer?) that only works vs other thin guys who never play defense. he aint punking pip like that even with his size. bron doesnt realllly know how to use his weight/strength. pip was allowed to FOUL the daylights out of magic when the bulls beat the lakers. So you know good and well LBJ wouldnt be able to get loose. we know lbj's jumper is suspect under real defensive pressure. something the thunder couldnt provide. which is why the heat one it all this year.
a younger spurs team would've spanked this years heat. and this years okc team. and thats based on talent, ability, and vet savvy. something these young runners have yet to understand. i saw a TON of DUMB mistakes by LBJ, westbrook, durant and harden..lol at harden in the finals. he would score vs the 92 team.
let me give you a list of non factors on the 2012 team.
Harden would be abused
chandler would be abused
K.love would be abused.
Anthony Davis, would be abused.
thats 4 guys who would get thrased and wouldnt be able to do anything in return. thats enough to make it a 25 point game folks.
the 92 team understood what boxing out was. something dudes nowadays never do. they just use their hops and quicks. cause everyone in the nba is just like them. its the reason why you will only see bynum get a 30 rebound game once. and he's a true big. something this 2012 team doesnt have. these new dudes NEVER box out. k love is a beast on the glass. but thats because no one else in the nba cares to box him out. if you made it a point to box the dude out. game over for his entire hustle man game.
malone, bark, are shutting these dudes out of the rebounds completely. every shot they took would be 1 and done, ever shot that the 92 team missed. would be a another chance for a put back for the 92 team cause of the ridiculous rebounding they would be doing. i think yall forgot how cold bark was.
let me remind.and this is in the the 80's 90s era. what i call the THUG era. where you could get beat up on the way to the basket and no call will be made.
^^take a good look at that dude. 25 is about right.
