Both rosters are loaded. Tough choice on this one.

Coin flip. I defer to the wisdom of the board on the last rounds here. I will say if Willie is playing the four I am pounding him with Randle all night long and seeing if he can handle the physical play. Can Sam keep up with KAT? I give Delk the slight edge but I might throw Maxey at him and see what happens. Would be a hell of a game and I like both teams a lot.

Both teams have tons of play makers. @chroix 's bigs are slightly more talented offensively. @drcats2013 has more depth in the backcourt. Both guard collections are elite. Guys like Hawkins and Poythress could be vital in a game like this from the defensive end.

@chroix is going new school with three guards while @drcats2013 has a traditional lineup with two bigs, a pure small forward, a pure shooting guard, and an elite playmaker.

Going up against a great team, but at the end of the day, I don’t see Delk and Goose being denied in this matchup with the Sheppards. Taking my team by 7 in the end, 79-72. Will do a full write up tomorrow at some point
