Uk. Better 1st half
 
This is really close again.

I think while on paper UK's first half lineup may seem better I actually like the fits of all the players in their roles. Great passing big in Walton, flanked by shooters and a high post big who can stretch the court. Sleepy to take it to the rim occasionally. But I think UK's squad builds a lead here with the advantages of KJ and Dirk at their respective positions.

Second half is a pretty thin margin, but I love Nos fits next to Magic. UK's has more floor spacing and excellent shooters, but doesn't have a real slasher to the rim to exploit that spacing. 2nd half I would go with Nos.

Overall, going to lean UK here. I think if Nos had just one dominant scorer in the first half, could have taken this one.
 
I think I have the better first half squad and Tommy has a slightly better 2nd half squad

UK
 
not sure how not can win if his point guard is passed out... or a dwarf
 
I believe this game is like the other game, UK has a 6-7 point lead at the half and has enough to hold on.

The first half scorer was gonna be Mark Aguirre, but some ass hole took him right before me!
 
I'm going Nos because Curry isn't a player that can carry a team against a much better opponent

UK's first half is without question better though

I do agree with this at least we haven’t seen it yet. This year he is going to prove if he can or not imo
 
I got UK in a close one. I think that 1H is the difference even though I like Nos’ 2H more

The difference for me in the 2nd is prime Kemp. Not fat Kemp with 15 babies. Prime Kemp went to a finals. Granted with glove but the rest of that squad wasn't a lot to write home about.
