My coach please Abdi. Rudy Tomjanovich

Thank you.

P.S. You have no interior defense except for Haywood. My guards would attack the paint all day or set up my shooters or toss it into Howard and let him beast. Artest can't cover Wade or Vince.

This has been the hardest one for me to decide by far...I'll just go with Nick since he seems to be the underdog right now.

Attack the paint all day? If they get past Artest and Billups, I like my 1 player protecting the paint. And pass it to who? Wade and Russel have no range. Who on your team is going to stop, Dirk, Billups, Durant and Joe?. No chance, I have too many offensive weapons and good back court defense. And I have a much better bench with a superstar coming off it. I pick me.

You seriously think Wade can be guarded by Ron Artest? Your talking about Ron Artest circa 2010 right. The dude with gold and purple hair? What's Billups gonna do vs. Russell? He's played Billups in even in their match ups.

And I have shooting range at every position Murphy, Lewis, Carter, Calderon. Wade can hit the three when he needs to, but he also get's three point plays all the time... "And one!"

Yea Ron Artest, he can defend Wade nicely. And Billups would own Russel head to head anyday. He cant guard Billups out there. And Billups is a better defender then Russel also. Russel? who's oct against Denver is 35%? Nah he won't do zip.

You talking about Murphy? Who's shooting percent is 37%? What's he going to do brick everything? And it's not like he's going to get open shots, either way, and Lewis? 43%? Carter? 41%? The only shooter with a decent % is Calderon, it's no use if you have players who have low percentages. Wade is iffy from downtown 30%?. You have shooters with low percentages.

You still haven't told me who's going to defend Durant, Joe, Dirk.

i really cannot decide. maybe in an hour ill have an opinion, lol.

LOL! Yer dreaming dude. Wake up.

37% is acurate enough for a forward/center to pull you out of the paint or ... plus Murphy is a legit rebounder. Artest can't even shoot straight.

Joe Johnson? Wade. Carter... and your point?

West ain't gonna outscore Dirk, but he can guard him 12-18ft out rebound and score on the elbow and inside... Dirk's not coming inside or posting with Howard waiting.

Also Lewis does just fine against Durant.

Head to Head

Lewis 17pts 10reb 9ast
Durant 12pts 3reb 1ast

Lewis 11pts 6reb 0ast
Durant 16pts 10reb 3ast

Lewis 9pts 10reb 3ast
Durant 22pts 6reb 4ast

Lewis 22pts 6reb 3ast
Durant 10pts 1reb 0ast

Artest had 5 steals, and forced Wade into like 4 TO's the other day. So idk what your talking about.

And Artest has a better Percentage then Murphy, so I guess Murphy cant shoot straight either?

Joe is 20 5 and 5, Carter is 16 and 4 and 3 with 41% shooting. Joe> Carter.

D West can't guard Dirk to save his life. Dirk would eat him alive, Dirk has everything on him.

What about Durant? You can only dream about defending him with any of your guys.

"Artest had 5 steals, and forced Wade into like 4 TO's the other day. So idk what your talking about."

LOL.

You mean the game the Heat won? I'll take 27 and 14 with five turnovers.

Yea the Game that Q rich was the difference, the dude making all those 3's

Yeah that game where Wade took it to the rim and kicked out to Q over and over again, because the defense collapse on Wade. Yeah that game.

You got Dirk.. you should know about Dirk and Wade.

Sorry if I'm not concerned.

Head to Head

Lewis 17pts 10reb 9ast

Seriously... you think I'm making up head to head match up?

Hold please.

From top to bottom:

November 18 2009.

December 5 2008.

November 28 2007.

Novemver 13 2007.

And Jeff Green is the one who covers Lewis, not durant, vice versa.

Durant 20.3 ppg, 3.5, 3.5 on 51% shooting in 09 against Orl

And it's Kobe Bryant that guards Wade not Artest... except you know... defenders switch... all the time. So Wade can be guarded by Artest and Durant can possibly be guarded by Lewis. It happens all the time.

Regardless by you theory Lewis was actually defended by a good defender (Green) and not by Hedo(n't) play defense Turkey Glue.

This isnt Dallas. This is a whole different team. This isnt Heat. You dont have Shaq. Mavericks then never had Durant, or Billups, or Joe. Wade never guarded Dirk. So why does it matter what happened in 06? What does that have anything to do with these teams, other then Dirk and Wade?

Nah, Artest was guarding Wade the whole time when he was on last game.

And what does Hedo have anything to do with this? lol

Honestly, The only match up you have an advantage is in SG and C. I have a better front court, back court, better perimeter defense, better bench.

Lewis didn't play the game Durant scored 28pts. He was serving time for his steroid thing-a-muh-bob.

Ok, But Durant still scored 28.

Nick your back court has no range, and all your shooters have a low % other then Calderon.
