So Kobe Bryant and co. roll into the Jerzee swamps tonight to wack(sorry I've been watching Sopranos re-runs) the haphazard Harris led Nets. Just for fun, let's pretend the Nets and Lakers records aren't 2-25 and 20-4, respectively, and do a position by position breakdown of the starting lineups.
Center
Andrew Bynum vs Brook Lopez
Edge: Lopez
We will give the edge to Brook as he scores more, rebounds more, blocks more, and has a higher PER than Bynum. Also, somehow Bynum has been in the league three more years than Brook but is only 6 months older...oh that's right, while Brook was studying at one of the preeminent colleges in the universe(Stanford), Bynum jumped to the NBA where he was called a "juvenile delinquent" by Dr.Shaq. Also, I'm just a bitter Nets fan...let's move on
Power Forward
Pao Gasol vs Josh Boone
Edge: Seriously, you have to ask?
Pao Gasol is an all-star F/C and Josh Boone is...Josh Boone...let's move on
Small Forward
Ron Artest vs Chris Douglas-Roberts
Edge: Artest
Artest wins this matchup handily though CDR does beat him out for number of names within his name...so that's something right? But then again, Artest counters that with handily beating the crafty southpaw in size, talent and number of fans assaulted in his career.
Shooting Guard
Kobe Bryant vs Courtney Lee
Edge: Black Mamba
Kobe wins this matchup. If you don't know why, you have never seen a basketball game in your life. Courtney Lee has cooler tats though. And he went to college. But it was Western Kentucky, so I guess that doesn't count.
Point Guard
Derek Fisher vs Devin Harris
Edge: Harris
Woo woo! One where the Nets are the clearcut winner...at least, in theory. Fisher's stats are not pretty, but he is a veteran leader and hustler on a team that doesn't need him to do much. Still, I think either team would rather have Harris, a first time all-star in 2009.
