BDL 2 on 2 Tournament

I know it's stupid, I know it's the internet, and I know it means absolutely ZERO in the grand scheme of things, but I still care for some unkown reason!

Over on the Ball Don't Lie blog on Yahoo they are running a hypothetical 2 on 2 tournament, taking the 2 best players from every team and running a 32 team bracket. Roy and Aldridge breezed through the first round killing the Grizzlies, but in the 2nd round they are up against a tough matchup in CP3 and David West.

I just figured mobilizing the BE readership for something as vital as winning internet polls needed to be done, so yeah.

Go vote for Roy and LMA, because Blazer Fan Internet Rabidity needs to be pushed to new heiights.

I really think some sort of statistical model based around BFIR should be written up, taking in to account quality of content, size of readership/viewership and strength of community. I am 99.9% sure that the Blazers would rank #1 on any BFIR list, with maybe Toronto and those TBJ guys coming in 2nd? Someone much smarter than me should develop this system, and then sell it to ESPN ala Hollinger :P

Tough one.

Paul flourishes when he gets others involved. In a two on two setting, aldridge has a slight advantage over west as west has less opportunity to get open. Pick and rolls on 2 vs 2 are a little bit more tricky, and that is what Paul/West thrive on.

I voted for the Blazers, obviously, but I think this would be a very interesting match up. A Hornets victory wouldn’t surprise me at all.
