2011 CB draft: How does my team look?/division rankings

[Roy H.]

Rumor has it that after re-examining ballots, no major changes will be made.  It's safe to assume that the playoff teams listed above remain the playoff teams, with potentially some changes to home court in the 4/5 matchups.

And actually, two votes from owners who did vote didn't make it into the final bin. One from Edgar, one from KCatTheStripe.

Their votes will be counted. KC's vote didn't get in because he sent it to me, and I forgot to forward it. He was not the only person to do this, actually like 4 or 5 of you did this, and I forwarded all the other ones, so Its not fair to KC to lock him out because I didn't remember his vote.

Edgar voted yesterday, which was late. But, Edgar had a baby friday, and we told him he could vote. So, we'll be getting out the final talley ASAP.

Congrats to Edgar and Mrs. Edgar. Maybe we should take a collection and send the little one a giant stuffed Panda.

Hmm ... first impressions ...

Eastern Conference Playoffs

(1) Phily should have no problems dispatching Orlando. Huge talent disparity between the two sides.
(2) Indy have too much firepower for Boston.
(3) I think New York should claim the series. Deng's defense on Durant + Deron Williams' advantage at the point being the difference.
(4) Tough call. Aldridge has too much size for Haslem and too much size/talent for Noah. Granger has struggled mightily against Gerald Wallace's defense in the past though. A very close series. Need to think some more. Leaning towards Chicago at the moment though. 

Western Conference Playoffs

(1) Sacramento win in 6 games in a close series. LeBron will not be denied.
(2) Portland win. Too much talent for the Spurs to handle.
(3) Another series I am not sure about. I think Utah are a much better team than Memphis but not sure how well they matchup with the Grizzlies. Worried about Big Al's individual defense against Hibbert and team defense against Rose's dribble penetration. Also, Caron Butler cannot defend Ray Allen.
(4) Denver's balanced attack too much for GSW. Long series but Nuggets always have that extra gear.

Some mod should give Who 1000 TPs for his objectivity and honesty. Not sure we have ever seen something like this before at this stage of the draft.

TP Who.

Whoops. Does this mean I'm out of the next draft?

Rules state that you have to give me Eric Gordon

[Kane3387]

Youll be seeing more Thabo then usual in this first round series  

[RebusRankin]

Portland is overrated.

[StartOrien]

the fake celtics stink

[Kane3387]

Portland is overrated.

This is an evenly matched series. Boozer and kaman against amare and bogut is a good matchup, but I think Westbrook makes things real interesting.

The Sacramento Kings just want to say they are excited about their first round playoff series versus the Phoenix Suns. They are a high quality team with players that management of the Kings hold in high regard.

We are expecting a hard fought series.

As an aside...strange how much this series resembles last year's Chicago/Washington series.
