My matchups
PG - Chris Paul vs Gary Payton - This is a very good matchup. Both great defenders and quick guards. Paul is a better facilitator and better outside shooter, which should help in this matchup.
SG - Andre Iguodala vs Reggie Miller - Igoudala has the athleticism, size and reach to give Miller fits. Miller has the advantage but Miller wasn't a very good defender. Iggy's athleticism could make this a tough matchup. Iggy will be the main defender but Jones off the bench and Kobe will switch on to Miller as well if he needs to.
SF - Kobe Bryant vs Ron Artest - Artest is a very pesky defender but Kobe will find ways to score that's what great players do. Artest isn't much of a factor against one of the great defenders at guard.
PF - Chris Webber vs Pau Gasol - Webber and Gasol are similar, both good mid-range shooters and good rebounders. Webbers' athleticism could get to Gasol. Paul and Webber in the pick-and-roll is dangerous. I also think Gasol on the switch is not a good thing. Paul could really hurt him.
C - Hakeem Olajuwon vs Shaquille O'Neal - Both great players. Hakeem is the better all-around center, especially defensively though.
BENCH
PG - Ron Harper vs Mark Jackson - Jackson wasn't much of a scorer or defender. Harper is much better IMO
SG - Eddie Jones vs Jerry Stackhouse - Stackhouse can put the ball in the hoop but can't defend. Jones is a much better defender and shooter.
SF/PF - Horace Grant vs Robert Horry - clutch MF'r. Just don't leave him open. Horace is a physical guy and can defend, no reason to double just stay on this clutch bastard.
SF/PF - Tayshaun Prince vs Shawn Marion - Marion an all-around good player. These two guys are very similar, I think that really helps limit Marion in this matchup.
C - Tyson Chandler vs Bill Laimbeer - Tyson is a very good rim protector and defense first guy he will do fine against the tough-nosed Laimbeer.
It basically comes down to do you think Kobe and Paul are better than Reggie and Payton. My team is as athletic as it gets. btw...great team Ritz![Beer :suds: :suds:](/images/smilies/occasion14.gif)
