You have 31pts to assemble a Spurs team to dethrone the Warriors from Spurs teams 99-Present

White (2) 2014 Manu (4) Peak Danny(4) Horry (2) Robinson (10)
Joseph (1) Barry(2) Bertans (1) Gay (1) Diaw (4)

Should do the job. Could see Diaw and Horry switching roles a bit, but the 2nd unit needed some creativity. Maybe a stagger system with Diaw starting for 3 minutes, resting for 5 while Horry plays with the starters, and then playing 4 with the subs...

I don't like Diaw. He's too inconsistent and hesistant. Doesn't shoot 3s even when wide open... unless he feels like it. Not a rim protector. Horry was dynamite in the playoffs.

In Today's NBA I'd value Robinson's athleticism and ability to switch on the perimeter more highly than any other player's skill in franchise history. Also David was a 7 foot small forward on offense so in this SF driven league I think he'd be way better than he was in the post oriented 90s.

Peak Robinson 10
Diaw 4
Elliott 4
Peak Ginobili 6
Joseph 1

Horry 2
Kerr 1
Gay 1
Jefferson 1
Bertans 1

Problem with this team is the lack of volume three pointers.

GSW can overhwhelm this team with bombs that

[Splits]

2014 Duncan (6pts)
Boris Diaw (4pts)
Peak Kawhi (10pts)
Peak Green (4pts)
Peak Tony (6pts)

You can't find a better match up against them than this tbh. It's a 7 game series for sure. 2013 Parker killed them and that year is my favorite season of his. Timmy in his mid 30's still had enough to outplay Cousins the fat diva and be the best defensive anchor. Peak Kawhi, duh. Diaw in there to neutralize their donkey and expose his trash post defense. Finally, peak 2013 Danny so he can handle Steph or Klay while making them pay if left "wide open" like Tony said.

Edit: , forgot the bench. Give me some 0 point players like 2013 Manu, Playoff Bertans, 50 Mills, Kyle Anderson, Jeff Errors

[Millennial_Messiah]

My team is by far the most complete ITT.

I think you have enough three point shooting between Ginobili, Diaw, Elliott, Horry, and Kerr. Especially if we're talking this year's Warriors and not last year's.

2014 Manu at 4 points seems really steep when you could have long hair 2005 Manu for only 6.

[apalisoc_9]

How mant games do you think your teams win the RS?

[Spur4ever]

Peak Robinson 10 pts
Finals MVP Kawhi 6 pts
Peak Bowen 4 pts
Robert Horry 2 pts
Brent Barry 2 pts
George Hill 2 pts
Nazr Mohammaed 2 pts
Kerr 1 pt
Gay 1 pt
Joseph 1 pt

[baseline bum]

There's no law that says you HAVE to have at least one player of each tier. I went without a 10-point pick. My superstars are 2005 Manu and 2014 Leonard and 2014 Duncan rounds out the "Big 3" for me.

If you could have 2013 Duncan maybe, but 1994 Robinson would be ridiculous on both ends in today's NBA.

Sure, but shaving the 2 points is hard, given the pricing set up. The problem is that decent bigs (against the warriors) are expensive in this list...

[Millennial_Messiah]

63-65

1994-95 Robinson would be Durant like, but then you're a top heavy team with little to no depth

My team is deep, tall and nasty on defense with premium shooters off the bench.

Just curious, how did you determine that 31 points should be the cutoff?

It was 30 but then he added 1 point. I liked it. Otherwise I'd have to replace George Hill with either Cory Joseph or Speedy Claxton, so not ideal because neither can hit the three, Joseph isn't quite good enough on offense and Claxton is too small.

[apalisoc_9]

Just curious, how did you determine that 31 points should be the cutoff?

I created a few teams and found out at 32 and above its easy to pick 3 superstars and just a bunch of 1 point players.

It would make things really boring because the difference makers here would be 4 and 2 Points players.

Peak Timmy

Finals MVP Kawhi
Peak Manu

2017 Danny

Cory Joseph
Richard Jefferson
Rudy Gay
Nesterovic
Claxton
Bertans

Peak Tim + Peak Manu + Kawhi at the top of his Spurs game is hard to ignore, but that might not be quite enough defense and the bench has too many one dimensional players IMO. Not horrible... 55-27

[apalisoc_9]

I initially wanted to do 35 but realized you can get peak Timmy, Peak Kawhi, Peak Tony, and elite 4 point players.

Really at 31 imo, you might be forced to pick a 2 point player instead of 4. Those 4 point players are elite role players tbh

Not enough offense even with the Admiral + Peak Manu. Not enough defense in the starting lineup and the bench defense is laughable. 52-30 IMO

[Millennial_Messiah]

C: 2014 Duncan, Rasho (7pts)
PF: Boris Diaw, Robert Horry (6pts)
SF: Finals MVP Kawhi, Rudy Gay (7pts)
SG: Peak Danny, Derrick White (6pts)
PG: 2014 Tony, Cory Joseph (5pts)

I just think Diaw is too much of a liability on both ends. He has unique skills obviously but his defense is shoddy and he is too tentative to shoot open 3s.

I think its a great post season team, but it going to struggle i the RS imo.

Bench is too weak and perimeter defense is too bad. Not enough shooting outsid ethe SG/SF position.

Elliott was inconsistent on defense and streaky on offense. Kawhi, Bowen and Green are much better options on defense tbh. But you really need 2 perimeter-defensive stars to stop the Warriors IMO.

[spurraider21]

would be funny to select more than one version of the same player on the same team tbh

You're drinking. White, 2014 Manu, Peak Danny & Horry, with peak Robinson to switch on pick and rolls and you think the perimeter defense is going to be bad?!?


No wait, I take that back, you're clearly doing something stronger than booze...

they don't let you do that on Madden Ultimate Team, which this is clearly a game of
