2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[Rondo2287]

I am pretty dissapointed that Golden state is a #7 seed.  But I would be nervous if i was the #2

I'd agree with that.

God IP Im glad that we agree!

[riah32]

Well the Kings miss the playoffs for now till you people realize I was right half way through the season. I'll even be happy if the simulation on 2k10 proves something for me.

[riah32]

All those bogus 14's and 13's did me in.....I think majority of us would agree i should be more in the 9-12 range.....yes i know unoffical i finished in 12th but that was due to some bougs 13's and 14's

[nickagneta]

Well that's it. 22 votes

Unoffical results:

1   Buffalo   2   Pacific Division Winner
2   Portland   2.32   NW Division Winner
3   Dallas   5.14   SW Division Winner
4   Seattle   4.64   
5   Phoenix   5.27   
6   Houston   5.64   
7   Golden St   5.88   
8   Utah   7.55   
9   Memphis   9.55   
10   San Antonio   10.59   
11   Minnesota   11.27   
12   Sacramento   11.32   
13   Denver   11.77   
14   New Orleans   12.73   
15   Las Vegas   14.55   

Probable first round matchups:

Buffalo(1) v Utah( 8 )
Seattle(4) v Phoenix(5)

Dallas(3) v Houston(6)
Portland (2) v Golden State (7)

My numbers came out slightly different
1 Braves    44
2 Crotonats 51
3 Sonics    103
4 Mavs      113
5 Suns      116
6 Warriors  123
7 Rockets   126
8 Jazz      146
9 Grizzlies 210
10 Spurs    233
11 TWolves  248
12 Kings    250
13 Nuggets  259
14 Hornets  280
15 Flamings 314

I think Dallas gets the #3 seed so

Buffalo-Utah
Portland-Houston   that should be fun
Dallas-Golden State
Phoenix-Seattle    another good one

Maybe IP needs to check his math.

I'd agree with that.

Golden State is a good team, but we think we match up well with them.

[Roy Hobbs]

Uh oh...  voting controversy!

Just to further that controversy, I saw this when reviewing the ballots:

1 - Seattle
2 - Buffalo
3 - Dallas
4 - Portland
5 - Golden State
6 - Phoenix
7 - Utah
8 - Sacramento
9 - Houston
10 - Denver
11 - Minnesota
12 - San Antonio
13 - New Orleans
14 - Las Vegas
15 - Memphis

Clearly I'm a lot higher on Brandon Roy and Tim Duncan than the rest of you.

- Once your ballot is posted, there is NO EDITING.  Any ballots found to be edited will be disregarded and may expose the guilty party to punishment if they are a team owner.

It looks like that ballot may get tossed.  I doubt it will change things that much, but you never know.

I think his only edit was the bottom comment Roy. The votes are still the same.

No idea, nick.  I'll leave it up to Dons; it's not going to effect Portland's seeding either way, I imagine.  It could effect Phoenix, Golden State, or Houston, potentially, but I doubt it.

Well, I have proof as I wrote down all the votes while I calculated them last night and the votes are exactly the same.

Too bad we didn't get as much voting participation as compared to the East...

Either way, i'd say the seedings (despite the controversy) look pretty good.  I view my team as a second seed anyways so i really don't think several teams got "screwed" by the SW needing a representative in the top 3.  The only seeding i see that doesn't do a team justice is Golden State; i think they're a divisional winner, not anywhere near a 6-8 seed.

Regardless, the SW playoffs are going to be real interesting.

Yeah this is some BS, I expected a 4 or a 5 seed, I think if we would have had more participation that the numbers would be closer to what I expected.
Normally I feel that votings like these are tainted because a lot of people usually vote in line with the mods, or those who are the most vocal (as in post the most about their team). However, this year has went completely against that theory, the mods mostly ranked me much higher than the 7 seed.

[Evantime34]

Well the Kings miss the playoffs for now till you people realize I was right half way through the season. I'll even be happy if the simulation on 2k10 proves something for me.

I'm with you, when my players are playing extremely well once the season starts I will be on this thread letting everyone know about it.

I agree.  I think the top six were some combination of Buffalo, Portland, Seattle, Phoenix, Golden State, and Southwest division winner (I liked Dallas).  I didn't expect to see any of those teams outside of the top six (if that's, in fact, where Golden State winds up).

Also, nick, these numbers don't quite add up.

They should all add up to a number divisible by 22, and by 120 (15 + 14 + 13 + 12, etc.)

The total of your numbers equals 2616.  They should add up to 2640.

I am disappointed that this is being tossed because I am ranked higher in this vote but,


Don was clear.  This vote needs to be tossed because of 'edit'
