    There were lots of interesting potential match ups for Batum: Kersey, Bobby Gross, Stacy Augmon, Detlef Schrempf, etc, but I went with Miles as they had similar build/athleticism and both are/were frustratingly inconsistent - could look like an all star one game and completely disappear the next.

    Terry Porter is the obvious match up for Lillard, but I thought Rod Strickland 1.0 or Kenny Anderson would be interesting. Plus, I didn't just want to pick players from the championship team, finals teams of the early 90s and the almost finals team from 2000. Those are the obvious choices, because everyone remembers those guys. I also think a Wes/Bonzi match up would be intriguing. They are similar size/build and both have/had good post up games.

    Actually, I meant to include that exact comparison when I made my original post, but forgot.

    OK, one more:

    You may be a good machine for ideas, but a machine for good ideas? Not so much...

    Re: Wesley and Kersey - I like it. I also like that it shows love to our free agent, which I choose to take as a sign he's coming back!

    Photoshop skills getting better; maybe next time they'll remember a light gaussian blur to make that digital noise look natural.
