He wasn't guarded by Giannis tho.

I agree Giannis isn't a lockdown defender, but his strengths on defense matchup really well with what DeRozan likes to do. Plus, he can't defend Giannis.

Yeah, he was probably guarded by the better defender, Khris Middleton. Giannis isnt even the best defender on his own team, a team who can't lock down DeRozan.

Overall I think you have the better team, but it's not like it any of these dudes on your team are stopping DeRozan from getting to the rim.

I really dislike lowry. And I really like kyrie.
For me, there is a huge disparity in talent there.

I didn't say that. I said they were pretty even. Irving benefits when he doesn't have to run a team. OL has him running this team...it's not putting him in his best position.

JTT has the best starting lineup in this whole competition.

He has 4 starters who put up stats on bad teams and a PG who is notorious for playing very poorly in 7 game series (which is what these competitions are, right?).

The same could be said about Lowry could said about DeRozan, but Wade/Irving/Aldridge/Bogut have playoff reputations.

One big fault in OL's makeup is his backup PF is awful. David West was a poor choice. I would be much more tempted to vote for him if he put in a more exciting backup PF who he could bring in and push Aldridge to the 5 for some minutes. Bogut is a good starter, but his minutes have to be limited and I just don't know about CHandler anymore.

Lowry: 20/5/4 on 47/35 splits

Irving: 24/3/4 on 48/30 splits

I'd say it was pretty even. It was Irvings worst series. But like I said, whenever he has to run a team, they do poorly. If he's the best player on your team, you're in trouble.

But you like guys who don't play defense.

Can't argue with that. I have always hated Gobert.

I kid, but you are partially right. I do prefer great offense to great defense.
Sorry

Just because you really like someone and really dislike the other one doesn't mean there is a talent disparity.

Lowry was saved by putting up two huge games that made his averages look better. He also two games where he went 4/14 and did nothing. You are acting like he was the best player and the only playmaker, he isnt, he runs the team equally with Derozan. And while Derozan was also largely crap during the playoffs, he actually played well vs the Cavs and it was more of Lowry who dropped teh ball having 3 really bad games in the series.

He voted for those who voted for him, and against those who voted against him. He did not vote in matchups where the contenders haven't yet voted on his matchup, as he's still waiting.

I'm sure that will change now that I pointed it out. But it's a real douche thing to do.

OL bases his votes on who votes for him. Real classy.

This reeks of a smear campaign.

The difference is Kyrie is his best player and we're arguing him against your third best player.

I would have voted for OL if he did these two things:

1. Instead of drafting Thomas drafted a solid shooting wing who could play both ways, moving Derozan or Wade to a 6th man role
2. Had someone better than David West as a backup 4.
 
Just stating facts:

Only two players on JTT's team made the playoffs last year.

Stacking up on players who put up stats on bad teams is a solid strategy if no one notices.

I'm not saying that Lowry was the best player? I'm saying they're a pretty even matchup...and Lowry isn't my best player.

Look, his best player is Irving. Irving can't lead a team, doesn't create for others well, and plays porous defense. Meh. I just think my team is easily better.

You didn't understand what I meant when I said like.

I don't know either guy personally.
When I say that I like irving and don't like lowry I'm actually talking about their game/talent.

I don't think lowry is nearly as good of a basketball player as irving.

It's true. Had I had the time, I would look at previous drafts to see if he always does this.

Dishonest as ****, and just pathetic.

He played with Lebron James he played his role and played it well. It doesnt mean he cant create for others it just wasnt his role on the team.

You have a team full of players who were able to put up stats on bad teams because they didnt have to sacrifice their individual games to win games.
 
Is this is a joke? How is One Love not blowing it out out of forum? Those two teams are not even close, lol.
