    It's the second round of the All NBA Draft Part 2! For this draft we used a $75 million hard cap. Production estimates for each player are based on their 2010-2011 seasons. All players are considered to be healthy, but age, accumulation of injuries, or serious injuries are accounted for. So, for example, Greg Oden is to be considered healthy but his injury history is to be respected.

    This matchup pits torque vs. thething.

    torque
    PG Chris Paul / Goran Dragic / Jeff Teague
    SG Ray Allen / Tony Allen
    SF LeBron James / Trevor Ariza
    PF Anderson Varejao / Ryan Anderson / Troy Murphy
    C Andrew Bogut / Ben Wallace*

    vs.

    thething
    C: Tyson Chandler/Chris Andersen
    PF: Chris Bosh/Chuck Hayes/Glen Davis
    SF: Paul Pierce/Thaddeus Young
    SG: Kevin Martin/Courtney Lee
    PG: Kyle Lowry/George Hill/DJ Augustin*

    I actually think thething matches up pretty well against you with an advantage in two positions. A disadvantage a 2 and a wash in one.

    I didn't realize this started.

    It's a team game, guys. Paul Pierce has the strength to limit Lebron James. torque still doesn't have a reliable scorer in the post. They will be forced to shoot jumpers.

    My bench is far superior to torque's. He has no offense off the bench. Ryan Anderson is the best he's got.

    Its not worth it man.. i put up the same arguement and got blownout.. having names like cp3 ray and lbj on your team is an automatic win. His bench has no scoring and he has bad bigs but its not enough to overcome his wings according to ppl.

    - yes i am a little sour for losing lol.. i thought i had a top 5 team

    I know, I have no chance with the voters. You had my vote, though.

    I don't think torque's team is that wonderful. He's got two superstars, but there are way too many weaknesses to think that the team can win right now. Those 2 guys can't play the whole game.

    ^^ I think resentment seems to be a bit of a factor here. Lebron and Paul are the two best playmakers in the game. Their ability to draw defenses, find the open man, score themselves, etc etc are going to make everyone around them look great. Ray Allen, we all know what he can do. But guys like Bogut and Varejao - yeah they may not be the best offensive players by themselves but with Lebron and Paul giving them the looks they will get - they are gonna score no doubt.

    And defensively, my team is ridiculous. It will be impossible to score on them. Top to bottom elite defenders, both in the starting lineup and on the bench. I have arguably the best defensive PG, the best defensive SG, the best defensive SF and top 5 defensive PF and C on my team. And they are all great man defenders AND help defenders. I think defense is where my team's greatest strength is at.

    Hey man, Im not hating on your team, nor am i delusional. Your team is probably the best defensive team overrall in this draft and i know the strengths of each of you players. Im just saying their are weaknesses. For example, ray cant play all day and therefore teams can just pack the paint because you would have no consistent three point shooters. therefore lebrons, cp3's or any player on your benches game is neturalized or just slowed down do to limited range. If cp3 or lbj get in foul trouble you would have no consistent go to guy and therefore the team gets weaker... All im saying is that your team is beast but there are ways to beat it
