SG - Brandon Roy - Starter - 89 - 33
SF - LeBron James - Star - 96 - 41
PF - Amar'e Stoudemire - Starter - 91 - 33
C - Blake Griffin - Starter - 86 - 33
6 - John Wall - 6th Man - 85 - 20
7 - Josh Smith - Role Player - 86 - 17
8 - Jrue Holiday - Role Player - 85 - 10
9 - Eric Gordon - Role Player - 85 - 6
10 - Terrence Williams - Bench Warmer - 80 - 6
11 - Jordan Crawford - Bench Warmer - 77 - 6
12 - Greg Oden - Bench Warmer - 77 - 5
Reserve - Andrew Bogut - Bench Warmer - 84 - N/A
Reserve - Kevin Love - Bench Warmer - 82 - N/A

In this playoffs I tried to be all around but went for defense as my top priority, my team is excellent in the mid range game, we have excellent rebounders and ball movement should be hard to stop.

Russell Westbrook: Starting PG someone who can do all I need him to do, also able to keep up with Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and CP3.

Brandon Roy: A proven scorer with an almost unstoppable mid range game, not the most consistent guy but able to D up PG's and SG's and even inbetween, plus his game is so all around it's scary.

LeBron James: Need I say more?

Amar'e Stoudemire: Excellent J up to 20ft, good post defense and will easily drop 25-30 on Dirk or CB.

Blake Griffin: Griffin was moved to center and still posed as an A(86) he will deny the basket to you while getting there himself over and over, but D-How may handle him.

John Wall: My Gary Payton PT.2 can keep up with and out run everyone else in the league while causing double teams which should result in easy baskets. Wall could also be a viable starter if needed, he can even rebound.

Josh Smith: My answer to Dwight Howard, an excellent shot block who can defend the perimiter as well as post.

Jrue Holiday: A good sized lengthy PG who will track down rebounds and loose balls, defend anyone on a hot streak and slow them down or stop them, and can provide threes and other offense off the bench.

Eric Gordon: A complete scorer who will provide excellent offense off the bench, can also squeeze in at the 3 or maybe even 1 if needed.

Terrence Williams: A great passer and defender can keep up with almost anyone, can be used to shut most down and will help amazingly in taking on the Kobe-Carmelo and Wade-Durant combos.

Jordan Crawford:  a versatile great acquisition that will put it minutes as PG and SG, a good passer, great scorer and capable of dropping 30+ if needed.

Greg Oden: Answer to D-How PT.2 with a 98 block and excellent rebounding he reminds us why he was the number one pick, and with injuries off he will finish opponents and stop drives with ease.

Andrew Bogut: Another Post defender and good rebounder.

Kevin Love: A rebounder to be brought in if needed, will drop points like whatever, if brought in should boost our rebounding game to the maximum allowed.

Vinsanity_15's Magic:

PG - Chris Paul - 96 - Star - 35
SG - Monta Ellis - 85 - Starter - 30
SF - Andre Iguodala - 87 - Starter - 30
PF - Dirk Nowitzki - 88 - Starter - 30
C - Dwight Howard - 94 - Star - 35
6 - Manu Ginobili - 88 - 6th Man - 20
7 - Tim Duncan - 85 - Role Player - 20
8 - Rudy Gay - 87 - Role Player - 15
9 - Vince Carter - 81 - Bench Warmer - 7
10 - Steve Nash - 85 - Bench Warmer - 6
11 - Zach Randolph - 81 - Bench Warmer - 6
12 - Jamal Crawford - 78 - Bench Warmer - 6

I wanted to make a team that was great on both offence and defense. I chose Chris Paul because is the best all around point guard. He can do everything from shooting the ball to making key defence stops. I wanted to build a team around him. Dwight Howard is a beast he can dominate basically anyone in the post on offence and defence. I picked him because I know that if anyone tries to drive in on him he will send it right back out. Dirk Nowitzki is a monster his fade away is unstoppable with him on the court Chris Paul will have crazy amount of assists.  Monta Ellis is an excellent scorer with his amazing driving skills and three point shooting I thought he would be a great fit. After TheGlove_20 picked Lebron I knew that I would need someone who could defend him. Andre Iguodala is a great defender I know that he won’t be able to shut down Lebron James, but who knows what if Lebron gets another eight point game. My sixth man of the year Manu Ginobili, he is an excellent scorer and I feel that Manu coming off the bench is much better than starting him.  The rest of my picks are players who I thought fit in with my game plan. Finally Vince Carter, He is my favourite player, I would start him but I want to win the title.

DrHoopenstein's Knicks:

PG - Derrick Rose - 91 - Starter - 30
SG - Kobe Bryant - 95 - Star -30
SF - Carmelo Anthony - 95 - Star - 30
PF - Chris Bosh - Starter - 83 - Starter - 30
C - Al Horford - 82 - Starter - 30
6 - Deron Williams - 93 - 6th man - 25
7 - Pau Gasol - 89 - Role Player - 22
8 - Joe Johnson - 85 - Role Player - 13
9 - Carlos Boozer - 85 - Bench Warmer - 10
10 - Andrew Bynum - 81 - Role Player - 10
11 - Danny Granger - 82 - Bench Warmer - 10
12 - DeMar DeRozan - 73 - Bench Warmer - 0

I chose Rose as the starting PG to push the tempo.  Kobe will do it on
both ends and will be the main option in the clutch.  Carmelo will take on
the role of scorer.  Horford/Bynum will protect the rim and rebound.  Bosh
will hit open shots. Williams will be the 6th man and provide instant
offense off the bench.  Pau Gasol is the other main option.  Joe
Johnson/Granger will make up the rest of the second team.   Boozer will
get mop up minutes at both the 4 and 5.

RayRay_34's Bucks:

PG - Rajon Rondo - 90 - Starter - 33
SG - Dwyane Wade - 96 - Star - 40
SF - Kevin Durant - 93 - Star - 37
PF - LaMarcus Aldridge - 85 - Starter - 30
C - Nene - 80 - Starter - 20
6 - Joakim Noah - 82 - 6th Man - 20
7 - Brandon Jennings - 83 - Role Player - 20
8 - Paul Pierce - 84 - Role Player - 10
9 - Ray Allen - 81 - Role Player - 10
10 - Kevin Garnett - 83 - Role Player - 10
11 - Stephen Curry - 82 - Bench Warmer - 6
12 - Brook Lopez - 78 - Bench Warmer - 1
Reserve - Jeff Green - 78 - Role Player - N/A
Reserve - James Harden - 75 - Bench Warmer - N/A
Reserve - Kendrick Perkins - 73 - Bench Warmer - N/A

I went for a defensive team that had some scorers, if we can put the ball in the net and then stop them they can't win, Durant will score at will, Aldridge will put in work on all ends and I have instant offence in the form of Jennings and Curry as well as the Celtics excellent offense.
