    Fronctourt: Jmcballer
    Backcourt: LCAhmed - Rondo and Joe Johnson completely outrun and out athleticise Curry + Allen
    Bench: LCAhmed
    Offense: Jmc - love the outside shooting with Curry, Allen, and Batum mixed with the inside prowess of Howard + Zebo
    Defense: LCAhmed
    Chemistry: JmcBaller - loving the mixture of talent, and display of inside and outside shooting on this team.

    Winner: JMCBaller - love his mix of superstar and roleplayers. LCAhmed has a great backcourt and solid front court and better bench, so it's a close series but I give edge to Jmc

    frontcourt - Jmc.

    Back - LCAhmed.

    bench - LCAhmed.

    defense - even. Dwight + ZBO + Batum = very good. LCAhmed has a huge defensive advantage in the back. Curry is ok, Allen is pretty poor at this point; Joe Johnson is good, Rondo is great.

    offense. Jmc.
    LCAhmed: I like Joe Johnson next to Rondo a lot. Johnson should be playing next to a great passer. Smith isn't efficient. Gortat is solid. Spacing is ok, not great.
    Jmc: Great shooting around Dwight. ZBO for hustle points / offensive boards / occasional jumpers. This team lacks an elite penetrating dribbler, Manu would've made this offense insane. Regardless, it's a great offense.

    chemistry - Jmc.

    overall - Jmc.

    Jmc easily, one of the best teams in the draft. Spacing for LCA is pretty bad and ball handling could be wack with a high volume, not great fg% shooter like Joe teaming with Rondo. Josh Smith another chucker who jacks off tons of long midrange jumpers, passing or finding an offense would be an issue for this team.

    JMC has incredible spacing and playing in/out with Howard that can dish to an open Curry, Allen, Batum would be dangerous. Transition would be smooth as these guys are athletic and can finish inside or from downtown or pull up from midrange.

    Zach&Dwight form an incredible duo in the paint and Zach can knock it down from mid. PnR with Curry and Zach/Dwight=beast.

    It seems getting Smith for KG will be my downfall!

    Frontcourt - JMC

    Backcourt - LCAhmed. JMC has nice shooters but I like the overall game of LCAhmed's guards better.

    Bench - LCAhmed

    Offense - LCAhmed

    Defense - Tie. JMC has the best defender but I also like the Rondo, Leonard and Josh Smith. I'll call it a tie.

    Chemistry - JMC

    LCAhmed wins

    Yeah. I like Smith, I know KG is a HOF and all this other stuff, but last season Smith outplayed KG. unfortunately people forget we are judging this off of last season play (myself included)

    You have to be a semi-fan of the Hakws and watch their games to understand it.

    "Oh no, Josh camping near the 3pt line again....oh gosh he gets the ball....drive or post up you moron....nooooo...DON'T SHOOT IT FROM THERE YOU IDIOT!!!"

    *2min later* "20sec on the clock, what the F is he doing just inside the 3pt line?!.....he gets the ball.....WHY YOU JACKIN THAT UP AGAIN YOU FOOL??!!!"

    The Hawks board implodes on those occasions.

    LOL yeah I am no Hawks fan, just a hawks highlight fan (J SMoove fan) since he is usually the only one getting highlight plays. Is it a stretch to call him a VERY POOR man's Dominique Wilkins?

    rofl Yung-T..
    yeah, basically that. Or if you are a Pacers fan and your team plays Atlanta 3-4 times a year, Josh Smith provides some good comedy. He's very talented, but man is he dumb.

    His raw stats look better this year because Horford was down, but i feel his best season was two years ago. He seemed to be getting smarter, started to play under control and everyone thought he'd finally become a superstar. But he's back to his chucking ways now. Still a good player who adds a lot, but he takes a lot off the table too.
