Congrats on the win, I just love your team, Sheed and Yao is an absolute sick combo. Your team has been one of my favorites since the beginning.

Will get you next time. ;)

The following comments were posted in the wrong thread:

Kosta: ^I'm pretty confident Chauncey can do a good job defending Parker, one on one.


Lastopsuburb: Ahh forgot the write up... That's alright KG himself will win this matchup


TMACFORMVP: sssshhhh
Yeah, I was trying to downplay it but Sheed is the ABSOLUTE perfect fit next to Yao, a terrific man defender and helps spread the floor.

Jefferson is a better creator than Jackson

I'm not sure on this, Jackson is averaging over 4 assists per game and considered one of the Warriors best play-makers. He's actually a very underrated post passer IMO. I've seen him find Biedrins many times on his dribble penetration.

So when are the judges decisions due? If it goes by the 2 day period deadline we had in the 1st round, it's by 12 tonight.

You've just got it and better be thankful: due to the whole analyzing/writing it I'm gonna be half-conscious and yawning all the time at work again. ;-)

I was just checking out what was going on here, so let me get this straight, Toronto's front court of Bogut and O'neal is to much for Thomas and Dally to handle? I had Brand and Gasol, and you guys said it wasn't a big difference, I also had Tracy McGrady on Kobe Bryant, while Toronto has Ray Allen? And you guys said that Kobe was to much for McGrady to handle, I think we all here know that Tmac>Allen, and Brand + Gasol > Bogut + O'neal, I mean I just don't get how this judging was done...Marion's defense is also better than Melo's...I mean its not going to make a difference now, but it didn't make sense.

If it matters, I liked your team more than the Raptors...

Looks like we have decisions in all of them, even if we didn't get the final writeup . . . . ECF and WCF finals:

Toronto v. Chicago
San Antonio v. Dallas

Good luck

Well the fact that Hollinger thinks that Manu is good is really bad for your team. God, Hollinger's a turd.

If you mean my verdicts, it's not so simple. First of all, it's all about specific matchups between teams, so reasoning "if Pacers>>Raptors and Pistons>Raptors (and I'm not saying it's true, just a hypothetical), then it should've been Pacers>Pistons" is flawed from the very beginning. Second, it's not about just positional matchups when comparing 2 teams; we look at the team as a whole, and Raps are more balanced squad here. Third, even talking only about individual matchups, healthy Jermaine is the best overall big in Toronto-Detroit series. Granted, he was relatively healthy for a short period this season, but on the other hand Brand missed the WHOLE year: we just assume players are healthy in this league. And Raptors still win the battle if we compare all bigs. In turn: it goes without saying that Kobe will dominate Ray Allen more thoroughly than he'd do to T-Mac. But Raps have also Carmelo, who is on current McGrady's level by himself: and who's also too big and strong to be guarded regularly by even Kobe. In the end: the only clear advantage of Detroit lies at 2 spot - are you surprised I didn't vote for them? Granted, you were superior to Pistons at 3 positions; but their pieces fit better and they had 2 players in TP and Kobe who can rise to occasion better than any of your guys. So again, don't be surprised with my choice.
