38461, hustlas gameplan vs 98.6 aka "wheres your gmplana nucca"

98.6
Nate Archibald
Julius Erving
Ray Allen
Dominique Wilkins
George Mikan


Hustlas
Walter Clyde Frazier
Bernard King
Elgin Baylor
Buck Williams
Robert Parrish



C - Mikan vs Parrish would be a good one on one match up Basically both are post up players. With Mikan being able to shoot with either hand and Parrish being able to hit the 12-15 footer. Parrish gets the advantage here because he's more of a shot blocker and I believe him to be more agile than Mikan.

PF- Dominique Wilkins playing power forward against Buck Williams is an interesting matchup on the perimeter with Dominique being able to face Buck Williams up to the basket but running into trouble with Parrish backing Williams up in the lane. On the offensive end, Buck easily posts up Nique and also cleans up on the offensive and defensive boards.

SF- Julius Erving and Elgin Baylor both show tremendous skills and moves on the offensive end. In the 4th quarter tho, Elgins teamates advise him to play off Doc and give him the jumper which he has trouble hitting. Elgin on the other end demands a double team where his shooting guard Bernrd King is often left wide open.

SG- Option 1 -Bernard King beasts up on Ray Allen early posting him up in the lane. Ray Allen retorts with a series of deep 3s, but in the 4th qtr. King really begins to take over this matchup posting Allen and wearing him down and into foul trouble.

PG- Clyde Frazier runs the offensive fluidly commanding the #1 option the pick and roll with Bernard King. Clyde is able to find the open man or hit the open jumper. Being 6-4 he is able to also post up Tiny in the lane and command the double team to hit either Elgin or Bernard for the wide open jumper.


Bench - the Hustlas will bring Michael Cooper off the bench to guard either Julius or Ray Allen. His 6-8 frame allows him to extend into the lane or either
be a good defender against Allens jumper. Coop also comes off the bench providing the 3 point spark when he replaces King at the 2 guard or Elgin at the small forward. Darryl Dawkins is able to offset the finnesse of the starting front line with some power and aggressive tactics almost being bullish toward Yao ming. Marques Johnson comes off the bench as a 3rd scoring option and a good passer at the forwrd position late in games putting offensive pressure on backup Larry Johnson getting him in foul trouble.


Summary- With Elgins and Bernards scoring and Coops and Parrishes defensive pressure, Bucks tireless rebounding, the Hustlas win this half court battle. Bernard King is just
to physical for Ray Allen.
