Everyone can vote for these playoff match-ups (even if you didn't participate in the draft). Don't be shy!

Feel free to back-up your rationale here.

 

[RookieOfTheDay]

I voted for no bonus and spike. The matchups were pretty close though as everyone left at this point has a combination of great and dubious picks.

 

[uolj]

I was afraid I was going to go against the #1 list in my rankings, but the re-seeding means I can vote for that list (Superman) and myself.

Unfortunately I'm the only one who has.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Oh weird I didn't realize there was re-seeding. Do we always do re-seeding? Since I am always out in the first round I don't pay attention. In athletic competitions I always feel like if an 8 beats a 1 they should get whoever the 1 was set to face not punished further.

 

[Superman]

Not anymore. It's okay, uolj. I'll invite you to my island, and we can watch our movies together.

I think everyone left has a great list.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Had to think Spike v. Supes over a bit but finally decided to go with Spike even though the double-Sandler at the end weighs the list down a bit. But Supes had Hook and even though I appreciate that he picked some movies that he just really likes without concern for anyone else having seen them, I now have to give the edge to the guy with more movies I actually like. By a nose.

And I gave the nod to uolj's list which at this point shouldn't really be a surprise.

 

[Bricklayer]

Well I don't mind being bounced from the playoffs per se, especially given my stubborn refusal to cave and draft mob/Tarentino/you're-supposed-to-like-it director of the week stuff. But to get bounced, only to see people just completely crush the person who bounced me in the next round is a little insulting.

Must have been how the Mavs felt in 07 when The Jazz kicked The Warriors butts in the 2nd round.

 

[NoBonus]

especially given my stubborn refusal to cave and draft mob/Tarentino/you're-supposed-to-like-it director of the week stuff.

I have the same stubborn refusal... can't do it to pander votes... I am just not a fan of those movies... IMHO they try to replace creativity and originality with ultra-violence... doesn't work for me; I find it insulting.

Congrats Spike and NoBonus! The final showdown is pending...
