Atlanta Hawks

C Emeka Okafor
PF Josh Smith
SF Danny Granger
SG Nick Young
PG Jose Calderon

Bench :
Taj Gibson, CJ Miles
Landry Fields, Eric Bledsoe
Ed Davis, Francisco Garcia
Jordan Crawford

With the starting group, plenty of offensive shooting power with Nick Young and Danny Granger at the 3 and 2 spots, with a decent point guard in Jose Calderon. Josh Smith has the ability to go outside on the perimeter or to bring it in from midrange to the rim providing even more scoring from the four. Finally at the 5, a defensive anchor in Mek, to help balance out the scoring from 2-4 spots.

Bench provides plenty of scoring options and also has some defenders in Taj, Bledsoe, and Landry Fields

VS


Sacramento Kings

PG: Ty Lawson / Brandon Knight / Nate Robinson
SG: Wesley Matthews / JR Smith
SF: Lebron James / Reggie Williams
PF: Kris Humphries / JJ Hickson
C: Marcin Gortat / Jordan Hill / Kosta Koufos

My team all starts with Lebron. He's the best player in the game. Unless Atlanta wants to move Smith, they simply have nobody that can guard him. He will also make things too difficult for Danny Granger defensively, just like we saw in their playoff series. At PG, Jose Calderon is simply not quick enough to slow down the speedy Ty Lawson. Calderon will not be able to contain Lawson line to line and he would excel at pushing the ball. Wesley Matthews could force the shot happy Nick Young into taking some difficult and bad shots. Matthews is not a great defender, but he's good enough to slow down Young. At the four, if Atlanta decides to put Smith on Lebron you will have a offensive mismatch in Granger on Humphries. Humphries will be able to out muscle him downlow and will collect a lot of offensive boards. At C, this is the most interesting matchup. Gortat has the ability to put Mek in positions he does not want to be in. He can pull Mek out of the paint making things easier for guys like Lawson and Lebron, or he can force Mek into guarding those guys in the pick and roll which he can't do.

[BeeBall Reasons]

Kings win but that bench is just downright awful.

[BallSoHard]

Kings, but only because they have James.
