2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[riah32]

New Orleans-undersized at the bigs more than me and have no bench
No offense to these teams but how are these teams better than mine.....


Utah- has no bench and dunleavy might not even hold up this season

Minnesota- only has mediocre players at best besides jameer nelson and jefferson. There bench has as many questions as mine.

Denver-Yao is out for the year and they have more young guys then me

Houston....who doesnt have a center snf or pf depending on where bosh goes and a bench that has as many or more question marks than mine

New Orleans- doesnt have any depth or talent outside of Kobe Bryant

Memphis- doesnt have a go to guy in the cluth unless you count tony parker as that guy. I dont see a big there either

Brook Lopez is better than all your bigs put together right now IMO, And you really think that your team is better than a team with Bosh, JJ, and Monta?

Yea actually I do because what has bosh done in Toronto will all the talent he has around him. Your crazy if you think brook lopez is better than all my bigs put together. He only played cause new jersey had nothing else to put there. He wasnt even good in college.

8 Boxers 251
9 Cavs 256

Close one there.  Wow.  Congrats on making the playoffs, and condolences to Champ, if these hold up as official.

That stinks Champ. I don't know how you miss the playoffs and Philly is actually 4th in the voting. But whatever.

Eh, it's just phase one of the game.  If I had to get beaten in a close race by someone, at least it's by a GM that clearly put way more effort into the game than I did (or any normal person ever would...I mean custom jerseys, Nick?  Really???  ).  And the suspense makes it more fun.

The funny thing is that I made the playoffs last year with a vastly worse team (Wade, Ginobli...and then a series of borderline scrubs), so I think that speaks to the improvement of the crop of GMs we've got this year.

But it's not over yet, and I'm cautiously optimistic about the NBA 2k10 results.  I'm on vacation this weekend, so internet access will be limited, but I'll try to get my thoughts on the West posted soon.

Love,

your faithful Cavs GM.

Bosh has done more in Toronto than, Flynn, Thabeet, Thompson, Blake, Roy, and whoevery else you have that hasnt won a division albeit a poor one.  And If Brook Lopez wasnt good in college why was he drafted above Thompson? and why are his numbers superior in virtually every category?

Hmm... off the top of my head I'd put Roy right with Bosh. He's an all-star who has lead his team to the playoffs on multiple occasions.

[Rondo2287]

I agree that they are right there together, but to say, "What has Bosh done in Toronto?"

Actually its just the once I'm pretty sure.

And btw

Brook in college 20 pts 8.1 rbs 2.1 blocks

Thompson in college  20 pts 12 Rbs 2.7 blocks

now take into account that Brook was two years younger and played in a highly superior basketball ball conference.  I would take Brook every day of the week and twice on sundays

So to say he wasnt good in college isnt based on anything

Yup, the 3 year NBA vet has a Rookie of the year, 2 all-stars and 1 playoff appearance. The Blazers were cusp in 08 but ultimately missed...that's right.

I got him mixed up with his brother Robin....and to add to this Thompson saw a lot of double teams.

[Rondo2287]

And so did Brook, And his double teams were better because they were coming from teams playing Stanford not Bradley

[riah32]

Rider doent play bradly....good try though they play Niagara, Marist, Siena, Manhantan, Iona, Canisus....those teams....which at the time there was 4-5 schools that could win that divison...make sure you tell me that I dont know what I'm talking about cause I went to Niagara while he was at rider and I went to or watched a lot of there games

[Rondo2287]

And again, none of this is to say that I dont like your team. I do. I just dont think that given the key roles of young players that you have including starting, or having rookies being the first back up at 3 positions(I think). I just dont think that your team is a playoff team this time around, but things may be different at the halfway mark

My bad I thought Thompson was from Bradley, ok, Rider.  But you do realize that almost all of those teams would be in the bottom quarter to dead last in the pac 10 right?

So would it make any difference If i said sean marks is my back-up center??

And of course the quality of play in those schools are right up there with USC, Arizona, UCLA, California, Arizona State, Washington, Oregon...
