    Cpaw's starting lineup is better both defensively and offensively, and his bench is alot better. I mean I can sit here and argue the point, but I think it is obvious.

    Sheed's not the dominant scorer he used to be, we're talking about a guy who averaged 13 ppg and plays about 30 mpg.

    It's hard to choose either team, because Camby isn't on them.

    Raptors.

    Hey, I'm back, and I'd like to point out I'm not starting Eddy Curry. I'm surprised there are 15 people who want to give Eddy Curry a championship ring. Outside of that, that's a pretty good team.

    I thought it might behoove me to bump this, for the following reasons:

    Spencer Hawes is averaging 13/8/2/2/1.5 as a starter.
    Jason Thompson averages 11/7 as a starter.
    Wilson Chandler is averaging 14.5/6/2/1/1 pretty much solely as a starter.
    DJ Augustin averages 19/3/6 as a starter, and 12.5/2/4 overall.
    On the other hand, Daequan Cooke is averaging 9/2 on 37% shooting, Aaron Gray is starting for Chicago and getting 3/5 on 27% shooting, Gallinari's not playing, and Conley's been benched behind Lowry, who's been only slightly less mediocre.


    For the Raptors,
    Diaw's averaging 8/4/2/.5/.5
    Andersen's averaging 5/5/.6/.6/2
    Etan Thomas is averaging 5/3 as a starter and 4/3 overall.
    Batum's looking like a nice prospect, but as a starter he averages 6/3/1/.6/.6
    Curry's not playing.
    Stackhouse is not playing. When he did play, he averaged 5/2.
    James Jones hasn't played yet.
    Jason Williams is out of the league.


    I think this begs the question:
    What bench?
