    The field has been trimmed from 8 to 4. In this round, the team that receives the most votes will move on in the competition. Review the rosters, then vote for the team which you believe is BETTER

    ICanDunkOnYao
    PG - Chauncey Billups
    SG - Tyreke Evans / Evan Turner
    SF - Andrea Bargnani / Hedo Turkoglu
    PF - Al Horford
    C - Tim Duncan / Tiago Splitter

    Spooner
    PG - Derrick Rose
    SG - Courtney Lee / Jordan Crawford
    SF - Michael Beasley / Luc Richard Mbah A Moute
    PF - Kevin Love / Kenyon Martin
    C - Brook Lopez

    Al Horford and Duncan will tear apart his soft front line. Lee is a OK defender, but he can't start and he will not stop Tyreke. Bargnani will shoot over Beaseley all day

    lol.... I find it funny you attack Kevin Love and Brook Lopez, then you boast Tyreke and Bargnani at the 3. FAIL.

    My frontline is soft?

    Brook Lopez is close to 7'1 260lbs. Averages 1.5 blocks per game. He actually plays above average defense for a center. The knock on him is his rebounding. Keep in mind he had mono this year. Check his stats from the year before.... You don't really have prime Duncan... actually he had his lowest PER ever this year. he would really dominate me? Lopez would dominate Duncan or Horford. It is known that Horford struggles against taller centers. Just look at what hollinger has to say about that.

    What makes you think Love is soft? Because he is white? Physical players get rebounds.... Love is a way better scorer than Horford. Love/Lopez is a ton of pressure on your small frontcourt.
    Kenyon Martin is the antithesis of soft. You really can't debate that. He shouldn't be too bothered by your frontcourt as he is about the same size as Horford. You don't really have a true center......

    Bargnani at the 3 is a disaster. Yes I can defend him. Mbah a Moute is notorious for defending players just like him. Check his matchup history against Dirk. You should be more worried about defending Beasley on the other end. There is NO WAY Bargnani would stay with him. Neither of your 3's would have a chance.

    I think the majority of this board would agree with me that Courtney Lee can start. He started for the Orlando team that went to the finals didn't he?
    Tyreke is horribly inefficient, barely over 400% from the field, under 300% from 3...... so I am guessing Courtney would have to stop him as a penetrator? Shouldn't be too big of an issue. Lee is athletic enough to at least limit Tyreke's production. It's not like no one is there to clog the paint either....Again Brook Lopez isn't Channing Frye....

    If penetration is how you would win, you should be a lot more worried about my PG's penetration. Horford is the only big atheletic enough to bother Rose. Duncan has become terrible with lateral movement. Love can space out to the 3 point line. That would make Horford ineffective helping on Rose. How on earth would Chauncey stay in front of Rose? I think that is your main concern. You would have to game plan to cut off penetration but Duncan would be the only one back there. Unless you tried to have Duncan guard Love but that would be a massive failure.

    Jordan Crawford>Evan Turner sad but very true.
    Tiago is a scrub.

    I fundamentally cannot vote for a team that has Barg starting at the 3.

    Barg playing the 3 is silly he would be to slow to guard even the lesser offensive 3s its like simple mathematics
