Chris Bosh and Josh Smith, baby!
Not together.

I don't like Bosh the C or Smith the SF.

Josh Smith has become underrated around here. He and Gasol were BPA for a long while. Some guys just tune Bill Simmons out. But he got it right on Smoove.

Quote from: Bill Simmons
Fact: For the past five years, he's been the best or second-best player for a team that went 228-166 and made the playoffs every year.

Fact: Since 2008, Josh Smith has won more playoff series (three) than Chris Paul (two).

Fact: In the last four seasons, Josh Smith averaged 17.0 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 3.9 assists and 3.2 stocks (steals + blocks) while shooting 47.5 percent and missing just 12 games total.

Fact: In nine years, Josh Smith never missed more than 13 games in one season, and he's missed only 46 games total for his career. He's durable as hell.

Fact: If you made a "Best Forwards in Basketball" list right now, LeBron and Durant would go first and second, obviously, followed by Carmelo Anthony, Paul George and Dirk Nowitzki. If Kevin Love is healthy, I'd have him sixth, followed by Blake Griffin seventh.8 You know who's eighth if you threw out salaries and just based this list on "What am I getting every night on both ends RIGHT NOW if I need a quality forward to play 36 minutes a night for me as my best or second-best player on a playoff team"? That's right, Josh Smith. You'd take him over Serge Ibaka, Anthony Davis and everyone else except mayyyyyyyybe David West.


Who underrated?


Both are PFs.  I don't like them as a pair.


I dunno, Smoove covers for Bosh at C on the defensive end exactly how Lebron does and offensively it won't work as well-- because one guy is LeBron and the other Josh Smith-- but it can function in almost exactly the same fashion where Bosh's range gives smoove the chance to operate in the mid to low post. I'm actually pretty pumped about this pairing.

Best team no one is talking about... Golden State. Hibbert/ Millsap is kind of awesome. I noticed this in my analysis of how all the big bruising physical centers are out west or as I call it " Why Bosh/Smoove will own the east"

Hibbert/Z-Bo.  It's Kobe/Millsap over here.

Chris Bosh and Josh Smith, baby!

A unique, talented, flawed front court for sure...

Don't make everything about your team.

Yeah, overhyping uniquely talented frontocourts is TWW's job.  :P

I was knocking Minnesota.

Last time I throw you a line.

But you know I can't resist nostalgia laden in- jokes, they're my kryptonite.

As fwf said it's Hibbert/zbo. If it was Hibbert/Millsap (not sure where the love for that combo is  ???) it's a poor man's Duncan/ west
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

A) Nothing in that statement related to my team...
B) The whole point of this Thread/Game is to pump up your own team and prove why it's the best one.

With pick 2.22, the Mile High City Nuggets selects.

Rudy Gay

Argh, I don't know what I'm doing but it feels right, need someone who can defend and score in the wing department...

What about James Harden?

It's zbo and hibbert. Thanks and TP.

Bosh and Smith are a nice tandem. Are they primarily your 4 and 5, or 3 and 4?
