    That's apples and oranges. Soccer is a sport. Figure skating and NFL are costume parties.

    If i want to watch a costume party, do I watch this

    or this?

    Easy choice for anyone with any taste!

    I think in terms of talent BigMaloe has the best team in this draft. However, jmc matches up absolutely perfectly with him. Kawhi + Conley is perfect for Steph Curry and KD. There also isn't really anyone to hide Curry's defense on either.

    JMC also has a significantly better bench. Harrison Barnes, Drummond and Manu are better than anyone Maloe has.

    Vote JMC IN AN UPSETTTTTTTT

    Spooner has a more talented team and bench. I'm not quite as high on Paul George as most people on here but his team should be able to work it out. Bynum isn't really a pick and roll player but West is. The help should clear out space for Bynum. The interior defense is kinda slow for spooner which Derrick Rose will take advantage of. But Spooner's talent just takes it.

    Vote Spooner


    I think a healthy Dwight will really frustrate run DMC down low. The defense for pullup should be able to control Durant as best as possible. However, Horry's bench and versatility should help him pull it out in the end. Durant with the game winner over Melo.

    Vote Horry33/LCAhmed

    Matchups like BigM vs Jmc show why we should have drafts with at least 12 people

    YEah but who do you put Curry on? They all torch him. Conley and Harden.

    You have said some questionable things before but that is by far your dumbest comment ever. He plays great defense is a fantastic 3pt shooter. How does he not fit?

    I put him on Conley, its not like he is some elite scorer. Besides harden will control the rock limiting Conley to a spot up guy.

    Jamers vs VBG---- can't decide

    spooner vs. Latebloomer-- Spooner just has a lot more talent than latebloomer. WB and Parker constantly attacking the rim along with a west/parker pnr will be too much. Rose will give Spooner some trouble, but not enough to win.

    PullupJ vs Horry-- Cousins is going to be dominated by whoever he guards. Dwight will outmuscle him and frustrate him and there is no way Cousins is staying with carmelo. Garnett can possibly take on Melo but I still think he'll have trouble keeping up with him. Of course Garnett will also take advantage of Melo on the offensive end, but I still think Melo's offensive impact>Garnett's.

    Defensively, pull up has the pieces to contain KD. Horry has the better bench, but I think in the end, the Dwight and Carmelo mismatches are too much.

    Bigmaloe vs. Jmc- specific reason but I'll keep to myself.

    Curry is bad ass mother ****er. He may be below average defensively, but guarding him is a far bigger problem. And this assumes full health too.

    If Maloe had a bench, I'd vote for him. Right now Maloe has an amazing big 3. His 4th / 5th players (Asik/Thabo) are ok but the gap closes down a bit. And he loses the bench by a large margin. Which makes it tough for me. Still kind of leaning Maloe but it's close.

    Yeah. When people come in after the draft and still have enough players to build teams that would have a good chance to beat the Heat, the judging is going to be hard, lol.

    Love our teams btw. Proud.

    Lol these voting systems are so flawed no wonder I've never won. It's favoritism and I'm not afraid to speak my mind

    .437 and .419 the last two years from deep is anything but average.

    Bosh could drop 30 in any given game how do you guard him

    Both players are good offensively and average defensively. I would put Aldridge slightly better offense and bosh slightly better defense. Its a wash imo.

    Asik is the best rebounder.
