I am on the fence.

Convince me. I'm leaning Philadelphia.

[Rondo2287]

Well he slows my best scorer by two points, I slow his best scorer by 6 points.  As well as win the bench matchup.  I think the PG matchup is a draw.  I think his backcourt cant shoot and is going to have to drive the ball right into Garnett and Camby because neither Bynum or Okafor are a threat away from the basket, and I will take that everyday of the week.

Baron Davis can't shoot and is equal to Andre Miller?

Do you have Taylor Griffin behind Warrick?

Haha ya I have had him the whole time

This is the career matchup in 24 games

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

And last year Davis shot 30% from three and had a 37% FG

are you concerned that beyond Big Z you don't have a player taller than 6'9 on your bench?

[Rondo2287]

Not really, I have 4 starters playing in the front court.  Alot of times I will have Big Z come in to spell garnett and slide Camby to the PF.  I think having those three guys and then mixing in Warrick will only add to my team.  And no offense to Philly but its not like they got a lineup of skyscrapers

[indeedproceed]

Why is your bench better than philadelphia's?

[Rondo2287]

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

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

You got a seasoned vet in both Big Z and Finley with Finals experience.  And I think I win big in the matchup of energy guys off the bench.  And then I also have belinelli who I dont want to give a ton of minutes but could see some action as a scorer off the bench.  I mean he is kinda a one trick pony but the guy can shoot. And Barea has also done a great job as a backup running an offense. 

[Rondo2287]

And as a Boston Fan I have seen Garnett get the Boston crowd into an absolute frenzy.  If he can create half that result at the games in Toronto, I think Home court becomes a big advanage for me.  And obviously there is no was I can predict the ammount of fans at a game, but I do like home court advantage in the playoffs
