    Checked my matchups; no one I play in the next 2 rounds has an elite offensive player in their backcourt. I'm good :)

    Ray Allen isn't bad defensively but he is a little slow and the Celtics scheme helps protect him.

    Tayshawn Prince used to be elite and could still be elite defensively with effort IMO.

    Tony Allen will shut down Ray for the most part

    You probably rejected a trade offer from 123 and he tries to get back at you.

    Basketball reasons.

    Because you crazy, Gallinari has to defend Bron. KG has to post up Hibbert and likewise.

    George is 6'10 SG, Bradley is 6'2.

    Dirk has to defend Ilyasova at the 3pt line.

    I have better shooters, my team is more athletic, has a huge size advantage and better slashing.

    Afflalo was mediocre on defense in 2012, is also heavily undersized vs. George and Marion was getting destroyed by Bron in their 2012 games. Marion doesn't profit from team defense here like he did in 2011 with Chandler and zone defense.

    George is not scoring on Afflalo. Wade who is shorter than Afflalo had no problem against Paul George. So Paul George is not a prblem.

    How the hell does Marion not profit from team defense when I have freaking KEVIN GARNETT who is better than Tyson Chandler defensively.

    Yeah I think Garnett will shut down your frontcourt.

    You are heavily overrating Afflalo's defense, check his defensive stats. Comparin Wade with Afflalo is laughable. You just leaped from Affalo to Wade and concluded George is no problem, solely based on Wade, notice the flaw in that logic?

    Chandler's matchups: .456 eFG, .460 iFG
    Garnett's matchups(notice you have him at center): .468 eFG, .55 iFG

    He would tone Hibbert down a bit but loses the rebounding/blocking by a big margin.

    Notice that Hibbert only played 16min in your example and per 36 min would have a very good 57.0 TS% and for him above average points.

    Or are the previous 5 based on the five games before playing KG? Still, your example is only 16min and doesn't take into acconut scoring and blocking.

    Plus I'm not usin Hibbert as #1 scoring option, so your advantage is not that big.

    And even if you would hypothetically shut Hibbert down, your PG, SG, SF would struggle big time vs. my defenders and George, Bron are winning their scoring duels by a mile.
