pull the numbers

Derekman · Post #5 » by **Derekman** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:32 am

are you serious, the difference between nash and billups is minimal. Hamilton is much better than bell, Tayshan is a lot better than hill, Marion and Sheed are about equals. Wow, talk about bias.

prince is not a better player then grant hill, hes a better defender, thats it. hill is a better shooter, post up player, ball handler, passer, scorer and rebounder. the only thing hamilton has on bell is he a better mid range shooter, bell is an elite defender so if you wanna use the bias prince is better then hill because hes a better defender then u mite as well say bell is better then rip cause he is the superior defender

There starting line-up is championship proven.

There definitely one of the best, if not the best.

When comparing starting lineups you have to factor in a 5 man unit vs another 5 man unit.

It's not all about player vs player.

The teams have the #1 most efficient offense, #2 most efficient defense, set records for fewest TO's.

The chemistry is there from playing together for so long.

They have more experience playing together than anyone else's starting 5 in the NBA.

bwahahaha.

If the Jazz had one of the best starting 5 in the league, they sure as hell wouldnt be a .500 team.

The only reason we even know Raja Bell is because he had that feud with Kobe Bryant. Otherwise, we'd be asking who Raja Bell is.

While the Jazz have a good lineup (and match up well with the Pistons in a direct matchup) if they're such a great starting 5 why's their record so mediocre? The starting unit isn't THAT good.

Edit... Margins...

you mean bynum not wallace...

I think suns are the closest to detroit with new orleans starting 5 this season looks to be right on their tail... west, paul, chandler, peja is pretty damn good 4... and mo pete isn't terrible.
