[Pack 500]

EHB tryin to pull out all his stats against me uh oh

 

[ehb5]

Haha sorry guys had too much time to kill. If it makes you feel better 500 i like your team but for the next 24 hours or so Im gonna need to throw them under the bus!

I do in all honesty believe i have a stronger team but youve got a good one too.

 

[Nosferatu]

Hopefully you just copy pasted that... whew!

You're entitled to your wrong opinion

 

[Nosferatu]

Guys please remember to send me your rankings in a PM of best team to worst team, do not include your own team.

 

[ehb5]

CP3 and Rose is close but CP3 most likely better.

Hamilton is definitely better than Thompson

Pierce and Melo are essentially a push

Bosh and Griffin are close but Id give the edge to Bosh

Howard is far superior to Chandler


On the bench

Billups > Lawson
Terry > Stephenson
Bradley = Allen
Kirilenko = Parsons (depends what you want)
Wallace > Parker (Idk how to judge parker)
Faried > Anderson
Horford = Hibbert
Vucevic = Varejao

Howard is useless on offense against Chandler. I've seen it many times. Bosh has no chance of stopping Blake from getting whatever he wants. Wouldn't call Melo and Pierce a push either

Im calling bull on useless. Chandler will defend him well and slow him more than most but peak Howard isnt getting shut down.

And i know we didnt make any statements on whos guarding who but Howard could easily guard Griffin and shut him down while Bosh does just fine guarding CHandler.

Melo and Pierce is a tough call. Melo tends to score more but he also tends to shoot more sometimes at the expense of his team. On a team full of superstars Pierce will fit much better.

Melo is surrounded by the perfect players to compliment him on this team. And I've watched every Knicks game every year and Howard has not done shit against Chandler u can look it up. And u act like he's Hakeem offensively by saying he can't get shut down. He's not even close

I did look it up. It was like i said. He got slowed down sometimes but was probably still putting up 15 and 13 on Chandler on like 55% shooting most nights. Thats still pretty good and more than Chandler brings.

Melo is surrounded by good players its true but so is Pierce and its not like Melo in a vacuum is better than Pierce.

 

[wlk3]

These 2 teams were in my top 5 and all 5 teams were interchangeable honestly and since I had to order them I did but these 2 teams are both nice... I give ehb the defensive edge but I really like how 500s team meshes... I don't think Howard would do well vs Blake by the way... He's more of a help defender as is Chandler... I think 500 would be able to continue to score even when the bench comes in, ehb may stutter at times, but the defense keeps them in it... In the end, CP3 uses all his weapons including lobs and open 3s for Melo and Klay, then He gives Melo some extra touches when he gets hot... Go with 500...

Howard vs Chandler
2011-12:
8 pts 4-8
12 pts 4-7
8 pts 3-6

2012-13
8-11 20 pts
4-8 14 pts

2013-14

1-5, 7 pts
6-11 15 pts

So no Howard definitely has not averaged 15 pts per game v Tyson Only achieved that twice in the last 7 matchups

But this entire draft concept is based on players in their primes. Howard has put up 20+ point games and 15+ rebound games against chandler both multiple times. So yes he 100% averaged 15 and 13 ish and probably more when you only consider peak Howard.

Howard hasn't been in his prime the last 3 years? What? ages 25 -27 is usually prime years bro

 

[ehb5]

Actually just did the math. Howard averages 16-13 for his career against Chandler. Now take away those bad games you pointed out where hes not at his peak and its even higher than what I originally said most likely.
