Lillard and Irving for Shaq!
You really nailed it here. I was thinking the same. Really thought Chuck went for hustle and fighting forgetting he needs shooters. But on the other hand there will be just Layups, Dunks and 3 Pointers in this game and Rubio will be setting all this up very nicely I see him getting 20+ assists.
I said it man, I'll take Kyrie first and with the second pick i would take Lillard if he's available, without thinking twice about it.
Good luck trying to stop Lillard and Kyrie on the same team, in a game with no defense.
It will be raining Threes in Houston that night.
Chuck didn't grab Irving because he knew he wouldn't play too many minutes in this game, the same way Blake Griffin had very little impact last year because he was playing in the All-Star game and didn't play much. The rest of the roster is hard to explain, but the Kyrie move at least made a little sense.
Lol at Shaq on picking Lillard and Kyire:
I took Lillard first because Kyrie might not want to play many minutes, if Chuck would've taken Kyrie first, I would've taken Anthony Davis second, but he didn't, so I'm smart enough to take Kyrie off the book. If he doesn't wanna play, he sitting his ass on MY bench.
Rubio to Davis and Faried is going to be the story of this game. Chuck should have picked up Drummond with his third pick and just dominated the paint and the boards and had Rubio (you knew he would be available because Shaq already had his guards) just throw lobs all game. Rubio is perfect for this game and in fact everyone in the stands and on both teams wants to watch him in this format.
