Team F simply because it's ridiculous to have Westbrook coming off the bench, he is twice the player miller ever was and he isn't close to peaking.

It wasn't about who was better, it was the strength of my team... I featured the bigs because of their passing ability and scoring... I didn't want them to interrupt Westbrook from attacking... I wanted to move Westbrook to SG but too many people don't like it when guys play out of position... I agree with Westbrook being better which is why he was my 4th pick, but him off the bench gives me a huge scoring punch where as my starting unit can work inside out, as well as hit cutters using the passing of my bigs and Miller...

I like the defensive combo of KG and Noah but overall your starting lineup doesn't generate any offense

Jason Richardson was decent in his prime scoring 21-23 ppg but he shot 41-44 % during that time. Your only consistent offense is KG.

Deron went up against Tim Duncan in the playoffs in 06 and still averaged 25.8 ppg shooting 52 %. I'm sure KG and Noah would fluster him some, but Deron Williams in his prime gets his

Dwyane Wade going up against the Detroit Pistons (considered one of the decade's best defense) dropped 40, 36, then 28 in the 05 playoffs before getting hurt. In 06 against the Pistons Dwyane Wade averaged 26.7 ppg shooting an incredible 61 % from the field. Dwade in his prime was not afraid of any defense.

Vince Carter's 3 prime years in the post season, 27.3 ppg, 26.8 ppg, and 29.6 ppg


Josh Smith and Emeka are great rim protectors. Emeka was 14-15 ppg 10-11 reb with 2 blks a game in his prime. Josh Smith averaged 2.6, 2.9, and 2.8 blks for a 3 year stretch.

Off the bench I have a good mix of speed, shooting, athleticism, and shot blocking

Gordon Dragic (20 ppg 6 ast 50 % fg 40 % 3)
Mike Miller (15-18 ppg 6 reb 46-50 % fg 40-43 % 3)
Shawn Marion (20 ppg 11 reb 1.5 stl 2 blks 50 % fg 33-38 % 3)
Elton Brand (20-24 ppg 11 reb 2 blks)
Larry Sanders (9.8 ppg 9.5 reb 2.8 blks)

Not to mention Elton Brand dominates every big coming off your bench


Eric Gordon vs Jamal Crawford is interesting. I personally love Crawford's game, but at the end of the day he regularly shoots 39-42 % from the field. Eric Gordon averaged 22 ppg shooting 45 %.

My cherry picked stats beats yours... Vince 3 year prime play off numbers... He had nobody and got swept... Somebody had to shoot... You're using everybody at the point where they were the only person on their team... How many shots did each player get to score those points...? Now add that to the fact my defense is stronger than ANY defense they have ever faced... It's laughable...

Kevin Garnett is a career 18 and 10 guy even after last years, 6 and 6 year... MVP year he was 24.2ppg 13.9reb 5ast 2.2blks 1.5stls 2.6to on .499% shooting 19 shots a game... He kicked ass, Nos knows what I'm talking about...

Joakim Noah was last years Defensive Player of the Year... His best year thus far averaged 12.6ppg 11.3rebs 5.4asts 1.5blks 1.2stls 2.4tos .475% on 10 shots...

Kawhi Leonard last years Finals MVP had a solid year... 12.8ppg 6.2rebs 2asts 1.7stls .8blks 1.2tos .522% on 12 shots .379% from 3... But his Finals numbers show an even greater player and to do it against Bron I had to get him... 17.8ppg 6.4rebs on 61% shooting with no plays being called for him...

Russell Weatbrook is an offensive beast and an athletic freak... When you average 21.8ppg with Durant getting close to 30, you know he can play with others... 21.8ppg 6.9asts 5.7rebs 1.9stls 3.8tos 43% on 17 shots...

This is just a piece because I have to run but yeah...

Team E
With Noah and KG at defending the rim, it's going be tough for Wade and Vince Carter to score at the rim.
