I hope it lives up to the hype. It's St. Patty's day so i probably wont even watch the game cast. But i'm hoping it lives up to the hype. I believe right now if we were doing power rankings we'd be the top 2 teams. But as you know in BB that doesn't always equal finals, or promotion.
He's got a really really talented back court both averaging about 20PPG. Along with a forward avg. 20 PPG. And thats not to slight the other guys averaging just over 15PPG. Lets just say my hands are going to be full defensively. On paper Mammals averages more PPG than me 112PPG vs 110PPG... however I hold teams to 88PPG while he holds them to 89.8PPG. Basically saying all that to this game on paper is a coin flip. So here's my positional comparisons.
Guards... Advantage Mammals....
He's got the best back court combo in the league. both guys can score (around 20 points) but more impressive is that each averages over 5 ASSIST per game as well. Tommy Lee is the league leader in scoring and probably leads the MVP votes right now, but he is going to need a MONSTER contribution from our other 2 guards to help slow down Mammals Guards.
Forwards... Even...
Mammals 2 guys are each averaging around 16 & 9. Shooting good percentages from the field. I believe again in a 1 on 1 scenario Everett from Bucsblue is a better individual player but again like with Tommy and the guard situation Everett is going to need LOTS of help from his SF counter parts to hold Mammals in tonight's game. But i am confident that the box scores for the forward positions combined will be a wash.
Center....Advantage BucsBlue...
If there's 1 clear cut advantage that Bucs has it is at the center position. Marco is averaging 15 & 15 is second in the league in rebounds and leads the league in Block shots per game. He is a force on the interior. And is quietly sneaking up as an MVP dark horse. The center position appears to be the weakest position for Mammals, but as we know GREAT guard play covers up poorer interior play.
In the end as we know at any level (College, NBA, etc) GUARDS WIN GAMES! So we are giving the edge to Marshland Mammals in this one tonight. His guard play and wing scoring from the forward position will prove to be too strong for the BucsBlue defenders. Bucs will keep with close with a GIGANTIC effort from Tommy, Everett & Marco. But they will come up short.
Lets hope its a good game.
