    I have better 2nd and third option. Lebron cannot be shut down, but Young and Dudley are great defenders with bynum taking care of the paint!

    I have the best frontcourt - one of the best Mid-Range shooter Chris Bosh and one of the best post up player Bynum.

    Nick Young and Jared Dudley are pretty good spot up shooters and defenders.

    My bench is better

    Tony Parker will destroy Jrue Holiday

    And of course:

    No.:grin:
    It isn't enough. I got the refs. I got the best player in the league. No dudley isn't going to stop him. Ohhh, he no score in clutch!!!! The jet scores in the clutch. Gasol can bother bynum down low. Holiday is a solid defender who can contain parker to an extent. Scola will struggle, but bosh will also struggle guarding luis.

    Your bench isn't better. Shumpert/prince/speights. Shumpert is a lockdown defender, prince is a solid all around player as is speights (he was beasting off the bench for the grizz). Harris might be better, but when would he play and how would he score on shump?

    Terry/Scola/Gasol. Prince is an effective backup 3. Who will you have at backup 3? Harris :grin:

    Depends. I may put in someone else to shut down Bosh. Maybe Speights. I might do shumpert/scola/gasol to slow down your primary ball handler.

    It's not like Lebron will sit out for extended time. Maybe 10 minutes a game.

    Terry/Speights/Gasol or Shumpert/Scola/Gasol

    vs

    Harris/Bosh/Bynum

    Alright. Terry will matchup well against harris. If he gets inside, Bynum will just elbow him and get ejected. Scola will struggle defensively as will bosh. Bynum and Gasol match up well. Obviously Bynum is better, but Gasol's height can bother him and his ability to hit the mid range J can open things up for Terry and Scola.

    lol MWP did that not Bynum. Taking the elbow aside.. I can't see how you would stop Bosh and Bynum. Terrific inside outside threat. You will need to double team Bosh or Bynum to be effective but you cannot leave anyone open.

    Bosh >>> Scola
    Bynum >>> M. Gasol

    Yes, but RedNation has Lebron James, who is the best offensive player and the best defensive player in the game.

    Gratz rednation.. Goodluck next round..
    I still think i have better team though. Maybe because lebron just got the mvp and played well in recent games, while my stars struggle a little bit.. Great matchup
