Okay, you have your PG and your SG, now it is time for the SF

Who guarded Kobe in the 4th quarter of their series?

Durant plays as much on the perimeter as any SG.

He wasn't on the post much at all in that series.

 

I've seen Kobe guard every perimeter position at some point- he must be listed somewhere and his true position is at 2.

Check the roster- where does the team list him? That's all I'm saying. :thumb:

Aren't the 2 and 3 position very close to being interchangeable in many respects?

 

Depends on the system. In some the 2 and 3 are the same. Others it's the 3 and 4. It mostly comes down to who you can match up with on the defensive end with the roster at hand...

And I felt like Thabo guarded him as much in the 4th as anybody- JMO.

In the NBA it doesn't matter. 2 and 3 are the same. A guy is a guard one place and gets signed and plays the 3 in another. Neither position has any different responsibilities in the league, unless the 1 and 2 switch men defensively. JMO.

There are also quite a few guys that are a SF in one place and a PF in another. The face up 4 is very common now, and most of those guys have the ball skills on both ends to be a 3 if need be...

Let's just say I wanted to go Wade, Kobe, Crush and Bron from 1-4 with Howard at the 5. I'd take anyone else you could dream up on a current NBA roster and win by 20 plus a night...

I guess so. Rashard Lewis comes to mind.

No one taking Melo?

[BBALL WARRIOR]

Im not even sure what system I would run I think id have to put durant at 3 I just wonder if he hurts the chemisty because he seems like the kinda player who would have to get his shots up.

That's my line of thinking. I love this idea but we need some parameters.

 

1. Rose

2. Carmelo

3. LeBron
