CB Draft Ballot Results! (link to file on page 8 and page 1)

well I definitely don't think there should be a free pass.....its 3am eastern time, that makes it noon central, so im sure fan will be along shortly.

Well as long as there's a ruling before football starts so that I can do my research for how to properly rip apart whatever team I am going to face during the commercials and halftimes

[nickagneta]

I just thought of something. If NY is disqualified that means I have to face the Toronto Celtics

When does the first round start?

Question: New York won the Atlantic and hence the fourth place seeding and yet did not do a press conference. Are they still eligible to make the playoffs? And if not, do the Boxers get a free pass into the semis or do I have to play the second place Atlantic division team?

I don't think there's a rule that they're disqualified.  Rather, they're not allowed to vote, and they won't be allowed to participate next season (unless they can come up with a heck of an excuse).

[Rondo2287]

I have to say im pretty surprised that i got 2nd.  I thought since Chi-town was gonna come in first i was gonna be relegated to 4th because of the division winners taking 1-3 but then i remembered the rule change!

Well if Ohio doesn't show up for some debate, hopefully that will give me an advantage and if I can somehow pull of the win that Epic Boxers versus Bulls semifinal matchup will come a reality.


Front row lying down(l to r): Raymond Felton and Leandro Barbosa
Second row: Luis Scola, Manu Ginobili and Wilson Chandler
Back row: Andrew Bynum and Udonis Haslem

They are coming for you Knicks and Bulls

Not a big believer in the SuperCats, huh?

Just think if Lebron's team could beat any team it would be a bunch of Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.cats

[The Walker Wiggle]

the boogie is going to need a kingmaker to convince people he can hang with dwight. you think sarah palin is too busy to rustle up some support against the 'phoenix fat cats'?

As long as we can agree that in the postseason Dwight Howard's name recognition is > defense, turnovers, free throw shooting, and three point shooting?

NOLA Bucs	League Average	Phoenix Gorillas
.475 FG%	.461 FG%	.449 FG%
.781 FT%	.759 FT%	.712 FT%
.374 3PT%	.355 3PT%	.342 3PT%

Point of order IP, playing rookie Cousins 22 mpg is more of a problem than playing two rookie big men, Monroe and Davis 33 mpg?

Or Phase 1 Top 5 Pick, Phase 2 ?, Phase 3 Profit?

New Orleans average age 26.
Phoenix average age 23.

They weren't eligible to vote Nick, they still made the playoffs and you still have to survive a vote against them.

The Commish's office is probably going to have to take over breaking down matchups from the Knicks perspective though.

No Tuesday. I wanted to give people a day to prepare their materials.

Why?

If the GM decides to leave and not defend his team in the playoffs why should the commissioner's office defend his team for the playoff's? I understand the commissioner's office taking over teams during the draft while selecting players to keep a competitive balance but why should a team who's GM made all his selections and made trades be defended by the commissioner's office during the playoffs if the GM makes himself scarce?

I mean, if I'm not a good debater and I think that  I couldn't defend my team that well wouldn't it behoove me to decide to disappear if I know either Roy or Fafnir are going to defend my team given that they are two of the better debaters on this blog site?

Ohio made his team and got selected into the playoffs. I think it fair for him to show up and defend his team or suffer the consequences. The integrity of the draft is over. These are the playoffs now and the commissioner's office should be counting votes, not trying to keep a competitive balance anymore.

Agreed.  What happens if two commish defended teams advance to play eachother?  Is that what we want? 

I think random people can step in and talk up why they might vote an undefended team (commishes included), but I don't think that the commishes should take the responsibility upon themselves to try to convince cbers to vote for a team.  Good, healthy discussion about a potential fantasy matchup is nice, but I don't think anyone should be responsible for taking over a team's defense.
