[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I vote me.

[italstallianion]

Any particular reason?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Vote against me and I'll turn you into a pokemon card. Goes for all of you.

[boston22407]

vote for me I'll buy you a car

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I vote me.

 

This count won't be valid. You have to give an explanation. I tried to vote for my team as well but I didn't have a logical explanation.

[yrtb]

I like boston's team better here. While I feel like he has some players a little out of position, Curry is more of a 1 and JJ is more of a 2, and Jared Jeffries at PG is retarded considering that he's a 6'11" PF/C, the fact is that his team is incredibly talented. I like Bosh and Kaman going up against Jefferson and Lopez, I think Lopez and Jefferson would get dominated defensively. And Derrick Rose is developing into one of the best guards in the league. Jacoby has some nice defensive pieces on his bench, but I still like boston's team here

[yrtb]

Look, everybody is going to vote for themselves, so basically both teams are going to get one vote automatically, it crosses out, so it doesn't matter

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

vote for me I'll buy you a car

 

Getting my license soon. What kind of car am I getting?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Lol I didn't even know that was allowed.

[yrtb]

It doesn't make a difference though. I'm just going to automatically assume that people are going to vote for themselves, so it crosses out. Basically you get rewarded for being responsible enough for checking this thread and making an argument towards other teams as to why you should win

[YanksHater213]

B224074328738745932788 built a helluva team, but I think I like Jacoby's here. Jacoby has the defense to stop the backcourt that B22w/e built. Beubouis, Sefolosha, and Ariza should be able to contain B2809430's backcourt. Jefferson would dominate the post and Evans and Nelson would get their points. B8439324's team is just horrendous defensively, and I can't vote for a team like that.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Please tell me Jared Jeffries as a backup PG is a typo.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I like my team because I feel everyone would gel quite nicely. Evans (while certainly not as skilled as DWade - yet) is the ballhandler and primary scorer, while Jefferson (even though he lacks a bit defensively) could tear this team apart in the post. The two of them will also open up a ton of open shots for already good-great 3pt shooters like Nelson, Ariza, Beaubois, and Batum.

 

YH pretty much covered the defensive aspect, and I think Robin Lopez could keep Kaman fairly well in check as well (Oden even if healthy would hardly need to be kept in check in offense).

[italstallianion]

I'm going to have to sleep on this one, because it's closer than what I thought it would be. I want to think about it for a bit before making my decision, but I could see either team winning this one.

[boston22407]

top be honest with y'all I don't even know who the f*** that dude is. I find out about him on google by putting in top defenders in NBA and he came up

[TheKilo]

Very close but I like 22407 here in a squeaker. I think Bosh/Blair are perfect complimentary players and I am a huge Derrick Rose fan so that might have something to do with the way I voted. I will say this, if this exercise was for most improved team over the next three years,JE would win in a landslide. 22407 obviously needs another big to back up Kaman now that Oden is pretty much done, but I like his PG too much to vote against him.

[boston22407]

i thought injuries don't play a role ?

[italstallianion]

It depends. Past injuries aren't supposed to count, but Oden has had so many injuries that it will highly likely affect his future value. In addition, his injuries have hampered his present value so the voters don't have much to go on (or expect) when it comes to judging Oden.

[italstallianion]

When I first saw this, I was instantly going to say boston22407. His team is A LOT more talented than Jacoby's. However, his team is a bit mismanaged. Jared Jeffries isn't a 1, I wouldn't put Stephen Curry at a 2 guard either, and with Oden being the train wreck he is, boston is weak at center. Then again, I am not a fan of Robin Lopez at all, and I don't think he should be on anyone's roster here, let alone starting. In addition, Jacoby has a lot of players that are cheap, and he has a lot of great values, but with so much more money available, he should have gone for more talented players towards the end, when he had the extra money, instead of wasting picks on Kwame Brown or Donte Green.

 

Beaubois is very underrated, I see him as a poor man's George Hill, but even with the roster handicaps and lack of centers, Jacoby's team doesn't have the front court to take advantage of it. I see Jacoby's team having to play catchup from the opening tip, and with D-Rose and Joe Johnson, I don't see Jacoby's team coming back. It's just too big of a talent gap to make up for boston22407's roster management nightmare. I have to vote Boston22407.

 

I think it's 3-2 overall in favour of boston22407.

[TheKilo]

Injuries don't count but what are we basing Oden on? He's played 82 games in four years and I'd say it's better than 50% he doesn't play again.

[yrtb]

Boston still hasn't voted for himself...if he had he would have won by now

 

3-2 him so far
