NBA Bucket Draft : CHAT

[MilkSpiller22]

Id like to see yours for ranking me 3rd...

again, its because i was in your bracket... I got to be optimistic... Also, thought you had the worst Wave 2... But i liked your team over many others in other brackets...

 

[wlk3]

Gotta say people have got to just be blindly voting. But the thing is even UK putme 3rd and he usually knows his stuff.

I have the big O backed up by a 9 assist per game Pg.

To elite wings.

2 elite shooters one being the best all time.

And 4 forwards that all rebound like machines, all score aside from thurmond(in his prime he did though which is what we vote on) and all can play both PF/C aside from Big Bob.

Sorry but in my match up I'm in no there is not a weakness.

I voted each group player for player doing my best to ignore match ups all together...

PG - Hockey Smitty Turkey
SG - Smitty Hockey Turkey
SF - Turkey Smitty Hockey
PF - Turkey Hockey Smitty
C - Turkey Smitty Hockey

PG - Smitty Turkey Hockey
SG - Hockey Turkey Smitty
SF - Turkey Smitty Hockey
PF - Hockey Turkey Smitty
C - Smitty Hockey Turkey

Turkey - 19
Smitty - 20
Hockey - 21

That's how close they all are IMO...

Ok...since I'm new, what exactly is going on here? I figured it was just gonna be a poll with voting options between two teams

You actually vote each of the 3 listed matchups, in order, 1 being the best team, 2 is 2nd best, 3 is 3rd best

You do not have to list why you picked the teams 1. 2. Or 3. But some guys like to see your opinions. In the matchups look over the 3 teams and list them 1-3 1 being the best. The 2 teams with the lowest score will move on to the next round.

So that's it? Just 1 thru 3?

Also, I don't feel comfortable voting myself. Even if I truly think I might have the better team, I don't like the possibility of someone saying "oh, he just voted for himself"

Everyone voted for themselves, unless they feel they got blown out, it's not looked down upon. Vote the 3 matchups how you feel, you don't have to explain why

If you think you picked the best team you should vote it... I did...

Most teams do vote for themselves so don't feel bad, sometimes teams don't, as you might notice Smitty. I think about all of us have voted for another team over our own at some point, even Milk.

 

[wlk3]

I don't see how I can be ranked 3rd if we're strictly voting player for player... I'll wait till the voting is done to start bitching though...

 

[wildturkey]

Ok, is there a set criteria or is that up to me? Like should I do player vs player, think of how they would function as a team, mix the roster as opposed to unit 1 vs unit 2, etc?

 

[Nosferatu]

Its up to you although we should not vote on unit 1 and unit 2 as it would be a mix but every player is on the floor for 24 minutes.

I did not strictly rank on player vs player. I also ranked on how teams fit together. strength of 2nd wave and how I thought each team would do mixing it up meaning mixing waves.

I try and go off mismatches. How many guys would demand a double team, against the person guarding them

 

[wildturkey]

Ok. Voted in the UK, WLk, 500 match up. No point in the other two since they're done apparently (and I moved on! I coached my guys tough but they respect me for it)

21,21,24 and decided on the last vote. It doesn't get any closer than that

This is why I asked for clarification early... I selected with "waves"... Then it was said not waves... Even still I find it hilarious that I'm out in first round... Who would I need to double vs UK...?

Westbrook - Glove
West - Kobe
Mark Aguirre - Dr J
Pau - Dirk
Wilt - Marc

I don't see 1 mismatch, however I have a mismatch at every spot... Wilt will score but he's facing a Dpoy I'm going to let him play straight... With Gasol and Dirk able to play high who is going to stop Kobe in the post and Glove.. DrJ, Mark Aguire... Come on now...

 

[wlk3]

Straight up this is fucking bullshit... Seriously... Bullshit.

IMO, your post defense kills you. Who would you have to double? Kareem, every single possesion. Prime Kareem scores 50 on Gasol. He's jam it in his face or sky hook him all night. The double would have to come backside to his dribble hand. Who is gonna do the double/ Dirk? LOL, I love Dirk, but he can't handle Pau on his own, so where is the help? What about the 2nd unit? You gonna play Horace Grant on Moses Malone? Double or Moses scores every time, then it's the same deal, Brand couldn't handle McAdoo on his own, let alone try and help on Moses. Plus you are murdered on the boards
