I feel like in this hypothetical situation we're vastly underrating the continuity of actual teams, I imagine almost any NBA team could take pretty much any NT in the world. And I imagine it's similar in soccer. I personally feel the champions league has a much higher degree of competition then the world cup (less fun, but higher).

On that topic-slight tangent, Bosh is a beast on defence, I am surpised how little talk was put into the job he did stopping Duncan.


Don't tell that to Duncan's performance in Game 6.

Stopping Duncan? Bosh played well defensively but he certainly did not stop Duncan.

You guys have really really short memories.

THEY LET DUNCAN SCORE. They shut down everyone else, Kawhi had a good game, but look at Parker, Ginobili, and Green. WoW. Go back and look at that box score.

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400467338

Parker 6-23
Ginobli 2-5
Green 1-7
Total 9-35

Don't think they changed Bosh's assignments?

Duncan missed some easy shots. Everyone knew he choked, and he pretty much admitted he choked. It had very little to do with the defense.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I hope you're joking? Bosh is a very good team defender and guards the pick and roll as well as any big man but he got absolutely manhandled by both Duncan and Hibbert in the low block the final 2 series because he doesn't have the strength, size and length to contend with most true Centers on the low block. He also had a lot of trouble keeping both of them off the offensive glass.

You should have watched the game instead of looked at the box score. They didn't "let" anyone score. Good defense was played and Duncan overcame it for the most part.
