Finals: Your Big Four

Welcome to the NBA Finals!

Big congratulations to Knicks fans! What a ride so far for your team. Whatever level of elation you are feeling right now, you deserve that.

Big congratulations to Wemby and the Spurs! You played the right way [insert Pop saying "This is the way"] and now you played your way in The Finals. Wemby has exorcised his inner demons (one of which is Holmgren) -- but now he's facing Madison Garden. Let's see if he can conquer it.

I am rooting for the Knicks. But betting on the Spurs.

But none of that matters now in our Fantasy Basketball. There are no further rounds. Now the game switches to "Which game will which player plays the best on?"

Line up your best seven players left in your pool, but focus first on your Big Four. Why four? Well, a sweep! I'm not saying there will be a sweep. But, I am just saying you don't need to rush with your fifth to seventh best players. Pull each of those back in your pool only if the series extends.

So my Big Four sucks... lol! That's what I get for betting on the wrong team. The real Big in my Four is Karl-Anthony Towns. The question is: will he play best in Game 1, 2, 3 or 4? The safe traditional DTTF move is to wait for him to get to Games 3 and 4 at home, but I see Madison Garden home games are better for hype guys like Brunson and Hart as those guys seem fit to deal with home crowd. I see KAT doing better on the road so he can be himself with less pressure. The problem is Wemby. Will KAT draw him out of the paint and to the perimeter? The Spurs are better at adjustments and the Knicks to me will try to always play their style of basketball. And so I am picking KAT in Game 1 before Spurs adjust.

I have Keldon Johnson for Game 2.

Alupin picks Keldon for Game 1, and Bridges for Game 2.

Good luck to everyone for this sprint to the finish!
