stronger in what sense?

lebron is better than ginobli at driving and finishing around the rim... but ginobli is the better pure jump shooter.. and definitely the better 3 point shooter. (for the record, manu is shooting 40% from 3 this year, lebron 27%)

hmm.. shot blocking you might have a point.. i think i moduled that based upon position.. and so lebron got a lower ratings because he is a 3.. but upon reflection that doesnt really make a lot of sense.

So.. how did we do...

Prediction: Parker big game... 25 or more 60%, ~6 assists
Result: Parker 25 points, 10 assists, 8 boards
Check

Prediction: Manu... average night, but highly variable 20+/-8 points
Result: Manu 13 points
Check, but not really a strong prediction

Prediction: Duncan.. slightly under average scoring <20, solid rebounding
Result: 19 points, 7 boards
Check!

Prediction: Calderon leading Raptor, average around 20
Result: 16 points on 7-12 shooting
Hm... why didn't he shoot more he was having a good night, I'd say we missed this one slightly

Prediction: Chris Bosh below average night, <20 points
Result: Bosh 17 points on 6-14 shooting
Check

Prediction: Spurs win the rebounding battle by ~10
Result: Spurs win the rebounding battle by 10
Check!

Other notables..

Jermaine O'neal with a big night... we didn't predict this at all... i'd have to go back and look to see how rare this sort of performance was from the big fella.

My Ex-AAU teammate Matt Bonner going 4-7 from 3! I keep telling Charles this guy is good...

All in all I am very pleased.

uhm...i agree about skills you gave to this two player(except for lebron's shot blocking and inside shot which i think you hane underrated) but in BB i have noticed that jump shot and outside defence gave an higher advantage that handling and driving,so it seems that ginobili is at same level or stronger than lebron,if it wasn't for the inside defence

Higher advantage in what way?
