Big Z was the only legit C on the cavs, and they went to the finals, my team also has way more experience than his. My team consists of players who are familiar with the playoffs, which is many players and coaches stress is an important key to win. And also notice how his bench is so unreliable. McCants, Telfair, blatche and wright have talent but can not be dependable.
Las time i checked, pretty much the majority of the Bucks' roster has playoff experience and Big Z was on a team in the east, and that team had LBJ. Z wasnt the reason the Cavs made the finals, it was LBJ. You are overrating playoff experience. If the other team has little to none playoff experience yet is balanced and talented, then playoff experience doesnt mean as much(ex: the Nets vs Heat series). Blatche and McCants are reliable and Wright Im guessing would most likely be in there for defense purposes. Thomas is reliable as well, and green more or less is an x-factor. Your bench might be deeper yes, but his starting unit trumps yours and is more in tuned with their games. Imo, you didnt put all the right players around Nash for him to be fully effective. In addition, your frontcourt will be foul trouble because of Amare alone.
