I think my starting lineup is the better more well put together unit. They will slow it down, and make Siro's team play at my teams speed, and limiting the other teams # of possessions, while my half court offense is as smooth as butter having two 25 pt scorers in Harden and Aldridge playing the high low game and pick'n roll. Plus while Harden is one of the best scoring sg's in the league he's also a willing and great passer and playmaker for his teamates. Also important to note is that Favors would draw Nene on the defensive end of the court while. As far as my bench goes its one of the best in this draft. I might have the best defensive backcourt around in Smart and Afflalo. These two will be a major disruption. Jackson and Waiters won't know what hit them. My team wins this matchup. It would be close for a half, but my smooth as butter stifling half court offense with the first unit and my superior bench would wear down Siro's team in the second half as his team is a one man show, with the ball stopper in Carmelo. My team wins going away

I feel I have a good mix of scoring shooting playmaking and defense as a whole unit.
 
Thee's only question mark for me is the starting lineup's D, but the firepower is there. Thee's bench swings this (as his is possibly the best in the tournament).
 
Rondo = Conley
Beal << Harden
Carmelo >> Parsons
Nene < Aldridge
Noah > Favors

Bench is even... wow this is a close match.

Part of that is covered up due to my team being a great half court offense, forcing the other team to play at my pace taking away possessions and scoring oppertunities.

My starting line-up is the toughest in the tournament, while Thee's is probably the softest. I also think my bench is under-rated, and I don't see how his bench is clearly superior. Regardless, even if he does have a better bench, and an equally talented starting lineup, D and toughness win playoffs series. I think I'm taking this one.

My starters aren't soft at all. Yes Harden is soft, but he makes up for it as one of, if not the best offensive players at his position. He scores 25 points a game while still being the top passer and playmaker at his position. Aldridge is not soft he pulled down over 10 boards a game with 1 bpg, plus he doesn't just settle for outside shots like he used to. Over the last two years he's been much more aggressive going inside, and he does it well. Parsons gets 5.5 boards very long at 6-9 and while not a great defender he's not bad, and pound for pound Conley is one of the tougher defenders at pg, and no one questions Favors as a paint defender and the beast he is. Think he will be even better this year then last, plus he has a coach who will help him develop light years faster then what Corbin could do
 
My team fits like white on rice with all of it's components fitting perfect. I have an elite inside presence on offense and a pretty good one at that on defense. I've got shooting in Parsons Harden and Aldridge, and playmaking and slashing to the hoop in in Harden! And Conley. I have two superstars in Harden, and Aldridge, who don't have to change the way they play as they compliment each other perfectly, and because the players around them fit in as well and won't take touches away...

I feel I've got one of the best constructed teams in this tournament while Siro's team figures each other out, mine has amazing chemistry in a very effective half court offense.

Conley is a tough defender, but Rondo is equally tough. Favors has his defensive strengths and weaknesses, but I have the defensive player of the year at that position. Harden is an insult to the word D, and while he is a beast offensively, his team couldn't make it past the first round, despite having Parsons and Howard. Parsons is a bit soft, and Aldridge is soft. They're not completely worthless defensively, but I'm not aware of anyone who considers them good defenders. Let's forget Parsons, since I have Melo at that position, and he's not exactly a defensive specialist either. Beal is infinitely tougher than Harden, and Nene is much tougher than Aldridge. My team, overall, is a lot tougher than yours. I'd be able to contain Harden somewhat, but Melo would average like 50 points against you.

I can hide Parsons effectively using Smith, playing him a few more mins
