Overall Paul has out played Dwill but head to head Deron owns Paul. I say that's this is makes this match up too close to call.
Boozer and West is an easy call Boozer.
So the Utah duo is my pick.
I don't understand that argument.
If Paul is better against 28 teams than Deron is, but Deron's better against Paul... how is that in any way, shape, or form, "too close to call"? They play head-to-head far LESS often than they play other teams. Wouldn't you want the point guard who's putting up better numbers overall? It's like saying, "Oh, well, Team X beat Team Y, so even though Team Y has a higher seed... Team X is better." The whole head-to-head argument is poorly constructed, misleading, and seems nothing more than a justification to pick Deron over Paul.
That said, back on topic...
I agree with others; the gap between Boozer and West is far greater than that between Paul and Williams.
On 29 teams, I think that Boozer/Paul would be the best combo, but I've always felt that Deron was more of a "Sloan Player" than was Paul--which is why, even though I think Paul's a better player, Deron was the right draft choice.
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.
