Southwest is my pick....

PG- Jannero Pargo- averaged 8.1 and 2.4 in the regular season but in the postseason he stepped up his game and was a huge part of their run.

SG- Manu Ginoboli- Best all-around player on either team and a champion. Great scorer, rebounder, passer and defender.

SF- Mike Miller- Started exactly 70 (so not over), also a great all-around player and by far the best shooter of either team.

PF- Luis Scola- Did not truly get minutes till the Rockets began their winning streak, in the last 2 months averaged almost 14 and 9, very solid.

C- Erick Dampier- Not great but a good rebounder and shot blocker and still much better than Zaza.

The key to me is TEAM. You have 2 selfish punks playing positions they don't like to play. Gilbert will want the ball and take Jameer out of the game completely. Marion prefers small forward and will have his hands full with the underrated Scola. None of your guys are good shooters and the lane will not just be wide open for your team of slashers. I have 1 good (Scola) and 1 decent (Damp) post prescence and great shooters who can also drive the rack, my team is well rounded and has no EGO's. They are the better TEAM.

What?

I have to say Ginoboli is much more important to that team than you think. The Spurs were at their best when he was given more minutes, which he would get with this team. Proof is what you want, OK. February of this season. Spurs go 10 and 1. Ginoboli plays 36.5 minutes a night (5.5 more than his season average) 24.3 Points, 6.5 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals. Those are superstar numbers.

"Damp is better, pathetic."

Pathetic but true.

Mike Miller may not score a ton but he shot 50% from the field and 43.2 % from 3. He is an unselfish player with a SICK stroke.

"Your team would have a hard time putting enough points on the board to compete with my team."

Not sure if anyone ever told you this but defense is part of the game too. Like I said, you have a bunch of slashers and the paint will not be that easy to get to for your team. They will force jumpshots and as cocky as they may be, none of them are near the shooters they think they are.

On my end of the court, I have well rounded guys who can shoot and drive (especially Manu). They are also very unselfish players, who will make the extra pass instead of taking the ME ME ME aproach, which Arenas owns

Scola is a little better than you give him credit for, over the last 2 months, once the Rockets let him play, he average 21 and 13.5 per 48, that is pretty damn good. Also if given the minutes Pargo has proven to be a great scorer (who exactly would get minutes over Chris Paul).

Please explain to me what kind of post D would you have? Zaza and Marion, Luis would have as good a game as he ever has against that matchup. ZaZa makes it 4 on 5 right away.

Marion is a stat guy, but how good of a defender is he really? Numbers are overrated, but the Suns D was always horrible. Even with him and Raja. Nelson could not stay in front of Pargo, while he may not be trustworthy, the guy can fly and would have no problem with Nelson.

Gilbert shot 40% this season and 28% from 3. WOW, good shooting. Marion shot 33% from three, most of his shooting %, comes from dunks, which wont come easy.

My guys will be able to pass the ball and NO it does not have to end with Manu. Miller can find open spots on the court and spot up, as can Pargo. Scola will be a force in the paint. And if Dampier does have one ability, it is that he is great on the offensive glass.

You have names, I have players
