Post#1 » by penbeast0 » Thu Apr 3, 2008 4:29 pm

2. Dirk Nowitski v. Jose Calderon

3. Steve Nash v. Rashard Lewis

4. Tracy McGrady v. Al Horford

5. Carmelo Anthony v. Lamar Odom

Dwight Hoard
Dirk Nowitski
Steve Nash
Al Horford(he is easy to play with, and his skills are so fundamentally sound that other people can fit in more easily.)
Sean Marion
Carmelo Anthony
Al Jefferson
Emeka Okafor( a much younger player who could anchor your defense for years.)

Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.

How about Tmac v. Horford, a-rod? (see how much you believe in the younger player who could anchor your defense for years theory, lol)

Dwight Howard
Dirk Nowitski
Steve Nash
Tracy McGrady
Carmelo Anthony
Shawn Marion
Al Jefferson

Having Horford in this top 64 and not Turkoglu or Joe Johnson was a joke.

1. Dwight Howard v. Andre Biedrins

2. Dirk Nowitski v. Jose Calderon

3. Steve Nash v. Rashard Lewis

4. Tracy McGrady v. Al Horford; seriously tempted to take Horford since TMac seems to hit his peak only when he has no talent around him but that win streak in Houston shows how much he still can do

5. Carmelo Anthony v. Lamar Odom

6. Shawn Marion v. Richard Jefferson

7. Andre Iguolada v. Al Jefferson; Iggy is leading a not terribly talented Philly team to a .500 record and playoff birth. Jefferson isn't there yet.

8. Rip Hamilton v. Emeka Okafor ; Wanted to give it to Rip but quality defensive big men are just too valuable.

4. Tracy McGrady v. Al Horford

ok, no close ones here

Dwight Howard 6-0
Dirk Nowitski 6-0
Steve Nash 6-0
Tracy McGrady 5-1
Carmelo Anthony 6-0
Shawn Marion 6-0
Al Jefferson 1-5
Emeka Okafor 2-4

Since Rose isn't weighing in, I will go ahead and continue to post brackets; btw, please give some reasoning, this is pretty boring otherwise (thanks a-rod for being the only one to do so)
