I'm not saying that I'm putting together a championship team with Jameer Nelson starting (or Rashard Lewis). I'm simply saying that if they were on our team, they would start. So it's kind of funny to call them scrubs.
And what's more funny is the fact that the Magic ran over the Bobcats and the Hawks in the first two rounds with Dwight Howard getting into foul trouble in practically all eight games, but the guys who were picking up the slack with their star on the bench are "scrubs". Such high standards we have, especially for a 20 win team. Neither of them are superstars; Lewis is certainly overpaid (Nelson is $7 million/year player, so I'm not going to call him overpaid). But neither of them are scrubs. That's going too far.
