GM Game First Round Matchup: Abdul vs. Dwayne: Dwayne Wins 5-4

Mo has the first round bye with the Magic - random.org ftw.

Ok, so here's the matchups for the GM Game. You have two rosters, and you're voting on which one is better from man 1-15. Just the best OVERALL team. Don't think of potential and stuff with young players (unless of course they're rookies then you HAVE to think about how good they would be, not how good they are). Here is 2v11, Abdul vs. Dwayne

Abdul:

PG: Williams, Mo
SG: Foye, Randy
SF: Durant, Kevin
PF: Griffin, Blake
C: Jordan, DeAndre

Bench:

Bledsoe, Eric
Gomes, Ryan
Diogu, Ike
Warren, Willie
Smith, Craig
Moon, Jamario
Leslie, Travis
Thompkins, Trey

Dwayne:

PG: Derrick Rose-25/8/4 w/ 1SPG. MVP.
SG: Anthony Parler-8/3/3 w/1SPG. 40% 3PS
SF:Hedo Turkuglu-11/5/5 w/1 SPG 40% 3PS
PF:Andersen Varejao-9/10 w/1SPG and 1BPG
C: Dwight Howard-23/14 w/1.5 SPG and 2.4BPG. DPOY.
6th: Andre Miller-13/7/4 w/1.5 SPG
8th: Jimmy Butler-16/6/3 w/1 SPG(College Stats)
9th. Samardo Samuels-8/4
10th. CJ Watson-5/2/1 w/1SPG 40% 3PS

I'm going Dwayne

Dwayne: 5
Abdul: 4

Abdul

Uhhh. I feel Rose and Dwight are a better fit than Durant and Griffin...and considering Dwayne also has a better supporting cast I think Dwayne wins this one.

Dwayne.

abdul

I win.. Durant goes off for 50 on Hedo lol... and Blake rapes Anderson flopejao


thats all I need

Rose and Howard >> Griffin and Durant. Supporting casts are fairly even. I'll go with Dwayne.

It doesnt matter if u have rose + Dh12... ur not gonna win w/ Hedo, Parler(who the fuck??), and Flopejao in ur starting 5..

Parker averages 8/3/3. Foye averages 9/2/3. Seems pretty even. While stats aren't the be-all end-all in games like this, I don't know how exactly you're criticizing a 2-guard that's equivalent to yours. And despite the bashing he's taken in this game from John's overrating him, you could certainly do worse than a guy averaging 11/4/4 at SF. Varejao averages nearly a double double with great (though admittedly flop-laden) D. Sounds like a great supporting cast for the MVP and the DPOY (who also could've and maybe should've been MVP). But hey, it's just one vote here.

Yeah Parker shouldnt start. And Varejao is best off the bench. And even though Parker is my least favorite Cavalier.... I'm going with Dwayne. The MVP and Dwight? Crazy.

Parker? Even moreso than Gibson?

Rose > Mo
Parker = Foye
Durant > Hedo
Griffin > Varejao
Dwight > Jordan

And even though Dwayne only has 5 bench players, they're better than Abdul's scrub players combined

Haha like I said. I dont hate Gibson. He just sucks. Parker sucks and he plays.

Rose shitted on Mo Williams the only game they played against each other. 29/8/4 while holding Williams to 5/18 shooting.

Parker and Foye are about even.

Durant is by far better than Hedo. I'll give you that.

Varejao has solid defense. Although Griffin is still better.

Dwight Howard murders DeAndre Jordan.

Your only good bench player would be Bledsoe IMO and Andre Miller is still better than him.


Purely objective based view.


Dwayne. lmao

Dwayne should have put dre at PG, and put Rose at his natural position. Abdul.
