no contest, texas
Saw this on another forum. Poll Coming.
California: Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Warriors
Texas: Mavs, Spurs, Rockets
Could be interesting...
Baron Davis / Monta Ellis
Kobe Bryant / Corey Maggette / Kevin Martin
Ron Artest / Stephen Jackson
Pau Gasol / Marcus Camby / Al Harrington
Andrew Bynum / Chris Kaman
Tony Parker / Jason Kidd
Manu Ginobili / Jerry Stackhouse / Jason Terry
Tracy McGrady / Josh Howard
Dirk Nowitzki / Luis Scola / Brandon Bass
Tim Duncan / Yao Ming
I know some may agree with all the players I chose, but that's my opinion on who my 12 for each state would be.
Obvious edge to Texas. combining the rosters of 3 50+ teams is more lethal than combining the roster of #1 seed + 3 lottery teams.
between Kobe, Baron, Artest, & Stephen Jackson, that Cali team would have a complete meltdown on the court.
meanwhile a starting 5 of Parker, Ginobili, McGrady, Dirk, & Duncan combines 4 of the best teammates in the NBA with 1 incredible athletic talent in T-Mac. I'd almost rather have Battier or Bowen start over T-Mac just to have a completely selfless team on the court that can bust your ass in every way possible.
Very interesting concept.
Without stating who would win in such a matchup, these are my observations:
1) Yao is going to get run ragged by the run & gun lineups the Cali team can throw out there.
2) Dirk and Duncan? Yowza.
3) With Artest and Maggette, Cali's swingmen are more than capable of posting up their Texas equivalents.
those would be the best two teams in the NBA.........two 70+ win teams.....possibly two 80 win teams with their only losses coming against one another.
Regular Season Series
Cali 3 - Texas 1
Postseason Series
Texas 4 - Cali 2
Cali Coaches - Jackson, Nellie, Dunleavy, Theus
TX Coaches - Pop, Bud, Adelman, whoever the Dallas signed
the problem with the texas team would be nobody would want to shoot the ball...the problem with the cali team would be nobody would want to pass the ball....
ohhh and as for the stephen jackson comment, the guy has been nothing but a class act and a gentleman ever since he has joined the dubz....who would have thought that Oakland could turn him around?!?!
the dubz?
Dumb thread
Texas produced George W. Bush and voted him into office twice. They lose by default.
And California elected Governor "Moonbeam" Jerry Brown. You lose.
you know you spelt hater wrong in your username?
THIZZAFORNIA has black mamba....
KILL YASELF!
did you ever think that he is a collector of hats?
dubz = W's = Warriors
Texas.
Potential Laker starting line up?
Did Jerry Brown lead the United States into an ill-advised war wasting trillions of dollars in the process? Did Jerry Brown destroy any credibility the United States has around the world? Did Jerry Brown alienate the nation by pursuing an aggressive values based campaign?
You lose. It would be forgivable if the people of Texas had enough ing sense to not vote this dumb into office the 2nd time around........
We do have a Political Forum, you know.
Back on topic...
Back on topic the state of Texas would beat California if we combined all the teams. You have three legitimate playoff teams, we have one.
