And SG and C...and his bench is better...

SK.

No not SG and C.

Granger and Crawford combined are better than Wade and Carter combined.
sure, wade is better than granger, but crawfordis the best sixth man in the nba and combined with granger thats an amazing combo

you seriously believe sk wins center? really?
he's got elton fucking brand and al jefferson. The guy who cant do anything except score down low.


fc has oneal and horford....


seriously.
how the hell is elton brand and al jefferson better than oneal and horford?

Horford = out of position
JO = injury prone/inconsistent

Big Al is much better than either of them, and I think Brand is good coming off the bench.

As for SG, I'm laughing at the idea of Granger-a 6'9, 230 pound forward-trying to stay in front of Wade, who scores most of his points driving, and VC, who still is lethal driving into the lane. Crawford is the best 6th man in the NBA, sure, but VC is a starting SG coming off the bench, so I think the advantage of Crawford over VC is much smaller than the advantage SK has with Wade over Granger.

Horford is out of position? how? He's played center his entire nba career, and well. JO is injury prone? yet you think chris has the best team? His team is built with injury prone players.


Granger isnt slow. He CAN stay in front of Wade. And he will score right along with Wade. Meanwhile you never know what VC your gonna get when youre always gonna get a good effort outta JC

Horford is supposed to play power forward, but the Hawks' centers are shit. That's why they were a prominent suitor for Shaq, because it would let Horford move to his natural position.

Yeah, I meant more that JO being injury-prone leads to him being inconsistent. And inconsistency isn't really an issue with Chris's team (why did that come up???).

Al Jefferson is better at C than Horford, and Elton Brand and JO are pretty much a wash. Hell, their averages are really close together.

Granger might be fast, but he's a forward, not a guard. Wade will zoom right by him and pester him on D. And again, JC is better than VC off the bench, but I don't think that outweighs how much better Wade is than Granger at guard. I don't really know what else to say. It's just my opinion, CBI, that SK's team is better. And so far more people agree with me than you.

Yeah, but he's played center successfully thats the thing. He's one of the most well known and succesfull centers in the leauge.

That came up because i didnt understand calling JO injury prone when your favorite team had 3 or 4 injury prone players on it lol

Al Jefferson is also a PF playing C. He came into the NBA as a PF and was given the C job in Minnesota.

Those last two sentences are like i started this disagreement with you. You started it with me lol.

And one thing i noticed is that SKs bench certaintly isnt better, 4 inconsistent as hell players and blair compared to FCs bench. Its even, if not FCs bench is better.

My matchups are tied 5-5...so just like I did with the FC-Marshall series, I'm giving it to SK because of FC's major lack of defense

Which makes it 6-1 SK...up by 5 = win?

no remember. you need 10 to move on now

I vote FC

SK

FC

I vote myself,

FC

FC

Daaaaaamn, that's sweet. Maybe I lost to the eventual champion!

im down 7-6

oh and on sk's bench is better? besides PG, and possibly SF my bench is better. Brand isn't better than JO because brand is way too short he's like 6'8.5

I chaange my vote..SK

Talk about;LOW POST WORK

Why can't granger keep up with wade, he is one of the fastest forwards in the nba, very mobile, good quickness. He is not lebron or dwade fast but he can back off him because wade is not a great shooter, I can live with him making jumpers. Plus the slight advantage he has with speed I have with size. Carmelo and Granger will score in the low post at will.
