PG: Paul vs Parker - Paul is the best player in the league. He should have been the mvp. Parker is too worried about where his controlling y wife is sitting the stands. Advantage Hornets

SG: Ginobili vs Peterson - Peterson is our best defender. He doesnt play a lot of minutes for a starter, but has been solid this series. Ginobili should be starting. The 6th man thing is played out. Ginobili is better, but has struggled in this series. Advantage Spurs

SF: Peja vs Bowen - Offense vs Defense. Bowen has been poor on paul this series, so he has contributed nothing. Give Peja a glimpse of the goal and he will nail it. Advantage Hornets

PF: Duncan vs West - Good matchup here. West is the best mid range shooter in the league. Duncan is a great pf but West is better at this point. Duncan has struggled as of late. West is the future. Advantage Hornets

C: Oberto vs Chandler. Chandler is a very good on ball defender. Oberto adds pretty much nothing. Chandler is a poor mans dwight howard. Advantage Hornets

Bench: Wells, Pargo, Wright, and Ely vs. Finley, Barry and Udoka. Pargo has been brilliant. Wright has surprised. Finley and Barry are washed up. Advantage Hornets

Coaching: Scott vs Popovich - Scott is COY. Poppovich is washed up. He is a future hall of fame coach, but his adjustments from game 1 to game 2 were weak. Scott has his players ready to play and the correct matchups and rotation. Their pick and roll offense is masterfully designed. Advantage Hornets

Not a bad job. But you could be less biased on some of the analysis.
For example, give the edge to the spurs in PF position (I think TD > West). Also spurs in coaching. Still overall NO advantage as a team

Well, Bowen hasn't played Peja yet. Peja is Bruce's . You may change your tune on this one after tonight.

Peja is going to light Bowen up. Bowen is the most overrated defender in the league

SG: Ginobili vs Peterson - Peterson is our best defender....

Jan 22, 2006 - Kobe scored 81 points against Peterson.

Defense and Peterson can't be written on the same sentence.
