2011 CB Draft Eastern Playoffs: 1st Round

[TheTruthFot18]

But, hey, my esteemed rival in Philadelphia is doing something right. He's got a widely acclaimed team, a very valuable first seed, and he knows the game.

While I'm the Draft crackpot and fielded a losing team again, in fact I generally miss the playoffs in this thing.

And as I feel confident that I won't jinx him, let me be the first to congratulate MGent on getting through to the second round.

P.S. Action that's a really well put together assessment. I enjoyed it. And while I like Orlando's front court more than you do, and Philadelphia's less, if the 76ers were to win, I'd expect it would go down in much the way you describe.

Honest opinion. Thanks WW for throwing some good comments at the Magic throughout the draft. TP! Despite all the hate, a few compliments really help. We should have just combined our teams (my back court and your front) and silenced the haters  .

sixers win easily

Well, Orlando got one vote. The NBA's best point guard versus the worst point guard rotation in the CB League. And I just can't see the 76ers the way most do, the aforementioned point guard rotation, not enough three point shooting, a thin bench, and the undersold fact that Philadelphia leads the league in games missed in 2010-11 - and just runs away with it.

Huh?  I don't see how you could back up ONE of those accusations.

Sixers have an overwhelming advantage at every other position.  Can you elaborate on how Chris Paul makes up for that?

And as I mentioned before, Philly's bench (when one or all of Wade, Iggy, West, [Sideshow Bob]) is a real problem. Despite me thinking I had a better team , their was no doubt my bench had a huge advantage. Only K Mart is a real threat (?) off the bench, and I don't like him as a reserve (but obviously behind West.)

Anyway, if Wade is off the floor, who else is a real top notch scorer to carry the load? This is what I think will hold Philly back from a championship: very weak bench (especially 1-3), injuries as mentioned by WW, and what happens when wade has an off night? ( can't see Iggy and West covering their avg. ppg as well as Wade's)
