The first set of voting polls goes until TONIGHT at 9:30.
***bdouble did NOT submit a team write-up, hence the creative name he has.

 

[Larry89]

Bdouble's team is just too star - studded, even if there is one ball Shaq would dominated, Hakeem doesnt have the help on Shaq, in today's game, but I was leaning toward the dream team due to Shaq's horrendous inability to guard the pick and roll, at all.

 

[SLAB]

As commissioner I couldn't vote fore someone that didn't complete all 15 rounds.

As far as I see, the non-submitted Team Write Up is the same as forfeiting a player draft pick.

Others may not agree, but due to fulfilling his full duties (delayed they might be ), I select tradepeja.

 

[Bricklayer]

I'm going with bdouble here with the good set of reserves helping to fill in the gaps for shaky defense amongst that starting crew, but I'm a little nonplussed how tradepeja's crew ended up down at #13. The unfortunate coaching choice aside that top 6 look pretty strong.

Sure, my reserves aren't the greatest. Caused mainly by me making hasty picks after missing a lot of my drafting windows when guys I wanted getting taken, which is totally my fault. But how are you going to drag down one of the winningest coaches of all time who I paired with a defensive-minded guy who could fill a lot of his gaping holes on that end (not all of them, but many).

Plus, I got two guys named PJ. If thats not worth a vote I don't know what is.

 

[Larry89]

the more I look at it, the more I see that Tradepeja's team can be a darkhorse in this matchup

 

[kingsnation]

And we are tied folks.

 

[Larry89]

I'm also positive that Hakeem would totally light up Shaq, Hakeem is just way to fast and quick with great footwork, has a jumpshot also..

Well he did once already, in the 95 NBA Finals. However, Shaq was just a baby then.

Take that Dream and put him against 00-01 Shaq and it might be a different story. With that matchup, I think they even each other out. The only difference possibly being Dream's jumper you mentioned. And don't forget his fadeaway.

I'm pretty sure CP3 and the pick and roll would totally bamboozle Shaq, he could put someone on Barkley to bring him out of the pain, lets not also forget what Hakeem did to Robinson...

 

[Spike]

The tie remains! I think tradepeja's team is the quicker team w/ the better outside shooting, and with Nelson coaching, it's good enough to make it out of this round.

 

[tradepeja]

May the best team (mine) win

Go upset!

 

[Larry89]

a gargantuan upset in the making

 

[Jespher]

When do the polls close?

 

[Bricklayer]

Thing is, I like bdouble's team more, but again, how the hell was tradepeja ranked #13? Better yet, how the hell was he ranked #13 and then when it comes time to vote everybody turns around and votes for him? Very random.

it would seem people voted just on-paper, didn't think of defensive capabilities coaching and matchups and continuity...

I actually rated tradepeja higher in my rankings but when I saw the matchup, voted for bdouble.

I think the starters kind of match up evenly, but bdouble has a much stronger bench (7-11), IMO.

Just a reminder, the three day window closes TONIGHT at 9:30!
