So just wondering how voting irregularities might be handled, if there are any.
Let's just say for example a team, after 20 votes is averaging somewhere in the 11th-12th place for conference and then owner of said team votes his team first in the conference.
Will that vote stand?
Just wondering?
In the same vein, the 14th place vote for New York seems a little low. Was that due solely to the fact that NY didn't post its own picks / defend its team, or do you not like the players?
Here's my reasoning on New York in 14th.
Deron Williams - excellent PG who needs great players around him to make him great unlike CP3 who is a great player that makes other players great. I hope that makes sense.
Vince Carter - over the hill loser who couldn't win with great players like Kidd, Jefferson and others with him when they and he were in their prime. Today he's a chucker with no heart and little to no defense.
Kendrick Perkins - great defender with little to no offensive game that has chronic shoulder problems and could be an unknown because of them.
Marvin Williams - soft player, soft defender that disapppears not only for quarters at a time but for games at a time.
Nenad Krstic - maybe one of the worst rebounding seven footers ever who has always been a hooribly inefficient scorer. Not a good combo.
Jason Maxiell - think Leon Powe without the ability to put points on the board because he has bad low post moves, can't get to the line and is a horrible FT shooter.
Thabo Sefolosha - another really bad offensive player that is okay defensively but nothing to write home about.
Keyon Dooling, Luke Walton, Rasho Nesterovic, Greg Buckner, DeMarre Carroll, Rodrigue Beaubois, Victor Claver, Toney Douglas - do I really have to go into detail about how inexperienced, mediocre, or just plain bad any of these players are.
Who on this team is going to score other than Williams and Carter? And once defenses sag off everyone else to play a zone and force Willaims and Carter to try to do everything from the outside they are dead. Williams needs good to great players to rack up his 10-11 APG. With this offensively challenged group, he won't beat out Rondo or Calderon or TJ Ford in the assist per game race.
The team is horribly constructed offensively and really has maybe 2 good defenders in perk and Thabo. After that, they aren't that good defensively either. So they can't score and can't stop teams from scoring and have to play 20 games in the toughest division in the league.
This team tanks bad.
Oh, and their GM can't refute any of this because he hasn't posted a post on this site since
