Review the rosters, then vote for the team which you believe is BETTER Bob MonkeySon PG - Mike Conley / Ramon Sessions SG - Dwyane Wade SF - Richard Jefferson / Vince Carter PF - Luis Scola / Amir Johnson C - Roy Hibbert Vs. arjun PG - Tony Parker / Toney Douglas SG - Stephen Jackson SF - Kevin Durant / Carlos Delfino* PF - David Lee C - DeJuan Blair / Andray Blatche
Wade will average over 40 points a game. Again, I just can't vote for a team with that interior defense. Plus S. Jax is a good defender against bigger guards. Wade is a terrible matchup IMO
Before voting ends, I'll give the case for my team. As far as which team would have the best chance at winning a title' I'd say that mine has a better chance at developing chemistry with no ego/selfish players, no one that's gonna dominate the ball (besides maybe wade). Matchup wise, defensively is where arjuns team lacks. The lack of height with both bigs and no real shotblockers would really hurt his team, whereas my team has quality defenders at each position. Scola's defensive struggles can be minimized knowing that a very good shot blocker like hibbert is right behind him. Vince is in a perfect position for him as a 6th man on a contending team, where there's no pressure on him, and he's still a very productive player and can still give you those vinsanity games(i.e. just like when he seemingly couldn't miss against the rockets last season). Sessions is also a very underrated pure point guard. His ability to get to the line and put pressure on the defense coming off the bench really helps my team. Conley and hibbert are players that are continuing to improve every season and players like lee and blatche on arjuns team seem like they are players that can put up good numbers on bad teams or only up-tempo styled teams(lee) but really don't seem like players you can rely on to help you win a title
