Re: Best Starting Five to Fit Your Style?

Really they disagree? That's why he was voted the best peremiter defender by the GMs before the season and why hes on the NBA First defensive team. A Celtics fan claiming that Avery Bradley is the best perimeter defender in the league is talking about fandom. Tony Allen can guard 3 position and Bradley can only guards guards. I'll say that I respect Bardley and he's a much more rounded player but to claim he's a better defender than Allen is preposterous to say the least. Maybe in a couple of years but not now.

bradley only played half a season ish, of course allen got the votes.

bradley is staistcally better than allen, and he is the only player that picks you up FULL court and makes you work to just cross half court

If you miss 30 or more games your stats are gonna unreliable especially looking at the guys he missed playing haha http://www.nba.com/celtics/2012-13-b...ltics-schedule. Avery Bradley is a damn good defender but he's not at Tony's level yet. Tony Allen is longer, more athletic, smarter, and guards 3 positions instead of two, plus is a culture changer. While I respect the 94 feet attitude it doesn't automatically make someone a better defender that's just a ridiculous statement. Sure it showed hustle but all that matters is if the shot goes in and Bradley missed so many great offensive threats his stats are void. Tony Allen faces tougher competition, plays tougher, and is a leader.

Re: Best Starting Five to Fit Your Style?

Unrealistically?

PG: LeBron James
SG: Paul George
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Dwight Howard

Realistically

PG: Ricky Rubio
SG: Gordon Hayward
SF: Mike Miller
PF: Danilo Gallinari
C: Enes Kanter

Re: Best Starting Five to Fit Your Style?

PG: Rose- Attack attack attack. Dish the ball to a shooter when the D collapses on him. Would cover opponents best guard.
SG: Curry- IMO, best shooter since Bird, would be the main scorer.
SF: Battier- Gritty defender that would cover my opponents best wing man. Deadly at corner 3s.
PF: K. Love- I love stretching the D and getting rebounds. Kevin fits perfectly into this plan.
C: M. Gasol- Defense, rebounds, brick wall to open up shooters and maybe the best passer from the post.

Re: Best Starting Five to Fit Your Style?

Unrealistic:

PG Lawson
SG Kobe
SF Pierce
PF Faried
C Howard

Realistic:
PG Hinrich - PG with outside shooting
SG Rayray - 3pt specialist
SF George - young star
PF Hansborough - tough forward
C Drummond - young bigman with potential to be dominant

Re: Best Starting Five to Fit Your Style?

Realistic or not, it funny to me how LeBron is NOT everyone's starting SF...

So Lebron should fit everyone's style? He is a ball dominant player, I don't see him fitting with a point guard like Rondo, Drose, Cp3.. Even Tony Parker.

You can build championship teams without Lebron you know.

I see where you're coming from though but you don't just add Lebron to a team and that's it. He would change everything about that team. You have to build around him. He woudn't 'fit' the Spurs system for example. Yet. Maybe when he'll get older.

LeBron has the most diverse game in the NBA... He does what his team needs him to do... If he needs to distribute, and get others involved, he does that... If he needs to score 40, he'll do that... If he needs to crash the boards, he'll do that... If he needs to lock down the other teams best player, 1 through 4, he'll do that too...

I agree with you, that he doesn't need to be on the team to build a title contender, but, I'm just surprised that he's not on more than 1/2 of these Starting 5's
