Lebron/Bosh vs. Wade/D. Howard

2 on 2, who wins?
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

IMO Wade and D12. Wade would just have to pound the ball inside because they can't double Dwight and no way Bosh can handle him 1 on 1. Also, I don't see that LeBron is THAT much better than a healthy Wade

Wade and Howard, especially if Wade is healthy.

People forget what Wade was doing up until his shoulder injury. 62% shooting against the Pistons, 37 ppg in the Finals, and then a 2006-2007 season where he was averaging 30, 8, 5, 2, 1 on 50% shooting. If he gets back to that level, he'll return to the discussion of best player in the league.

Lebron/Bosh

It's like Bosh makes it a point to go off almost every time he faces off against Dwight, averaging 33/8 on 65% shooting this season, and 34/11 last season. Add Bosh's superior quickness and ability to hit that 20 footer, it makes up for Howard's strength and power in a 1 on 1 situation.

Bosh schools D12 every time, and get him in foul trouble.
LeBron would school D-Wade.

Bosh and Howard cannot guard each other at all so you'd have to call that a wash. Then you have Wade somehow having to stop LeBron...not happening

We've already seen what Wade can do with a washed up Shaquille O'Neal. Wade+Man child=ownage. Dwight hasn't had a good playmaker in his life (Bosh has).

Dwight "schools" Bosh as well, so it's a wash.

Even if it is a wash, LeBron will totally go off against Wade.

too bad bosh hardly guards dwight when they play and when he does he always gets help from his teammates. When dwight guards bosh it is just one on one.

Are we agreed that Bosh cannot guard Dwight and Dwight cannot guard Bosh?

In a 2 on 2 setting, I'd probably take LeBron and Bosh because they can create for themselves better and have more versatility to their games.

Dwight pummels Bosh, but Bosh slithers by Dwight. Therefore, wash.

LeBron beats Wade.


Bosh can ride the L-train on this one.



What about all for of them, but Smush Parker as your starting PG.

Still Championship? Or is Smush really that bad?

I'd rather they play 4 on 5, than have Smush as their PG.

2 on 2 neither pair can stop the other from scoring. It would come down to luck.

LeBron has a better chance of stopping Wade than vice versa. So I'd probably take LeBron and Bosh, but as someone else said, I think I'd prefer Wade and Howard in a real game just because Howard is a load inside.

I don't know about that. I remember them being pretty even off when they've guarded eachother in the past.
