[Nosferatu]

From the desk of Tlance...

I vote for me. My 2nd and 4th groups will wipe the floor with Smitty's. I have great defenders everywhere that he has a scoring threat and my team has more firepower. He has the edge in 1st and 3rd, but not by as much. Eaton might just be the one player best suited to guard Shaq.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Both have very good teams but I got Tlance in this matchup.

I think the matchup is just better for Tlance's team even with Shaq going off.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I got smitty... I love TLance's defense, but I don't think he has enough scorers...

 

[Mebert]

Eaton might just be the one player best suited to guard Shaq.

I have Tlance overall, but this statement is not really correct. Yea Eaton is one of the few people that shaq could not just bully down low, but Shaq was crazy light on his feet for a guy his size, Eaton was a plodding big man.

I vote tlance, but I reject his Eaton argument.

 

[CitySushi]

I got Smitty by a hair.

 

[wlk3]

Smitty

 

[UK Cowboy]

I agree with Mebert, the Eaton argument is nonsense, but while the 1/3 are close, Lance does have a strong edge in 2/4

Lance

 

[Nosferatu]

I guess I see this differently than most. I think Smitty has a bigger advantage in 1/3 than Tlance does in 2/4

I got Smitty

 

[Nosferatu]

Remember it's first to 6

 

[tlance]

Wow.

Eaton was a great post defender. No he wasn't nearly as quick as Shaq, but he had a huge reach advantage. Unless Shaq is facing from 15 feet and out, Eaton's reach negates a lot of Shaq's quickness. If Shaq does face, Eaton can back off because Shaq can't shoot.

i watched Shaq struggle a bit to score on Muresan, and Muresan wasn't very good. He never faced anybody like Eaton.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Ron Artest would foul out in the 4th quarter and Smittys bench behind his 10 players suck. I am joking Smitty. I just think Tlance has a slight edge and I am jealous he got my boy Rodman.

I vote Tlance

 

[broncosmitty]

I got me in this.

Most cuz of this Eaton versus Shaq nonsense.

 

[Mebert]

The only person that can guard Shaq is Mark Madson. We all saw it

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well it all depends on 500 now...

 

[Mebert]

 

[Pack 500]

TLance is too strong in 2/4. Shaq isn't enough to overcome it in my view. TLance

 

[Nosferatu]

Great game fellas, congrats Tlance...

 

[tlance]

Good game Smitty! Great team.
