[Roy Hobbs]

Nice job, Rebus.  The early margin wasn't indicative of your squad's talent; the final tally is closer to reality.

Wow....a team with Baron Davis and Carmelo Anthony and no outside shooting just beat a team that had Lebron, scoring depth and a solid bench. Nothing against Kwhit here but wow. just when I thought I had seen everything from this voting process. Clearly Philly is gonna win the title.

Doesn't matter, its just noticing a trend that in every round of playoff voting Portland got every single mods vote for them to advance.  However, when you're the #2 seed overall, you do get more votes because of the match ups you get.

Here is a look at my series with Philly. I really like this matchup for Toronto.  I think the pointguard matchup is remarkably even .  Kwhit takes down the SG matchup but its not really a huge win.  I think my biggest win in the series is that Artest has always been able to neutralize Carmelo.  He has a winning record against melo, Artest lowers everyone of melo's offensive stats, as I describe below. 

When we move to the frontcourt, KG has a pretty sizeable advantage scoring against OKafor.  As well as assists and fg%.  Camby has also been very effective against Bynum both in scoring and assists, but the biggest advantage for us in on the glass where Camby has a plus 8 rebound margin.  And when the big men are tired, I dont think Joe smith can match Big Z and Warrick. 


Miller Vs Baron Davis(24 Games)Davis leads 13-11
Miller :16 ppg, 4.8 rb, 8.5 ass, 1.8 stl,
Davis: 16 ppg, 4.3 rb, 7.7 ass, 2.1 stl

Brewer vs Garcia(8 games) Brewer Leads 7-1
Garcia: 10.5 ppg, 3.1 rb, 1.9 ass, .5 stl
Brewer: 15.5 ppg, 4.5rb, 2.1 ass, 1.5 stl

Artest vs Mello(12 Games) Artest leads 7-5
Artest: 17.6 pts, 6.1 rb, 4.3 ass, 2.8 stls, 1.7 TO
Mello: 19.9 pts, 5.4 rb, 2.3 ass, .7 stls, 3.2 TO


Mellos Career stats vs Mellos Artest Stats
Career avg
PTS 24.2 -- FG% .460 -- 3P% .307 -- FTA 7.7 -- REB 6.1 -- AST 3.1 -- TOV 3.1

Artest Avg
PTS 19.9 -- FG% .411 -- 3P% .250 -- FTA 4.8 -- REB 5.4 -- AST 2.3 -- TOV 3.2

KG vs Okafor (10 Games) Garnett 6-4
Garnett: 21.4 pts, 12 Rb, 3.3 Ass, 1.5 blk, FG.525%
Okafor: 12.2 pts, 11 rb, .8 Ass, 1.5 blk, FG.462%

Bynum vs Camby(9 Games)Bynum 6-3
Camby: 10 pts, 14 rbs, 2ass, 2.7 BlK
Bynum: 7.9 pts, 6.6 Rbs, .9 ass, 2.2 Blk

Big Z vs Joe Smith(17 games) Big z 11-6
Big Z:13.5 pts, 8.9 rbs, 2ass, 2.3 blk
Joe Smith: 9.6 pts, 5.6 rbs, .8 ass, .6 blks

Basically I think my bench depth, Ability to neutralize Carmello and huge advantage rebounding and scoring in the frontcourt win me this series.  Also I have Home Court advantage. 

[Rondo2287]

Also here are some more bench matchups

Finley vs Parker (7 games)Finley leads 4-3
Finley:13.3 pts, 4 rbs, 2 ass, .4 stl
Parker: 6.3 pts, 1.9 rbs, 1.1 ass, .6 stl

Warrick vs Balkman (7 Games)Balkman leads 5-2
Warrick:13.4 pts, 6.6 rbs, .9 ass, .7 stls
Balkman:5.1 pts, 4.9rbs, .9 ass, 1.3 stls

Match this up with Big Z, and Toronto owns the bench matchups

And also lets remember folks, Toronto Won the division for a reason, which gives us home court advantage in this series.
