It's not meant as a low blow, and I've paid homage to your team many times. In fact, I voted it into the Finals. However, I think Philly is far and away better.
When I see people start to discount D. Wade, though, it's crazy to me. It's like some are stretching for ways to criticize Philly and/or to elevate Portland. I think we're all susceptible to subtle biases, and like Fafnir suggested earlier, mgent's fairly abrasive manner of arguing probably turned some people off. The same can probably be said of my arguments, but I call things as I see them. The way I see it in this series, there's nobody to check Wade, and until people quit sweeping that under the rug, I'm going to wonder what the heck's going on.
If people want to articulate why Wade is going to be ineffective in this series, I may change my mind. However, Wade has been dominating in two NBA Finals, he's been dominating against the best defense in the NBA, he's been dominant against Harden, dominant against Lowry, and dominant against Delfino. Amare and Bogut aren't going to matter, because the Blazers' relatively weak defense on Wade is going to result in those guys spending 10 - 15 minutes per night on the bench.
That's fine if you believe that mgent has the better team, you've been advocating for them from the moment he paired d-wade and Iggy.
But here is the problem when you say "People are voting for the GM they like best": You're de-legitimizing peoples' opinions who don't agree with your evaluation of the players involved. Not everyone is as big a fan of Wade as you are, not everyone thinks he's as capable of single-handedly elevating his team, because in a lot of peoples' minds (mine included) we've seen him struggle without a premier big-man since Shaq left, and that was made even more-so evident when he and LeBron James, the best player in basketball, couldn't dominate the game the way they needed to.
I think I can win this shindig because I've got far and away the best defensive big, I've got far and away the best scoring big, and I think I have the better point guard, and a swingman (Delfino) who has shown the ability to defend at least one of Wade/Iggy.
I'm not debating that Wade will get his points, I'm debating that it won't be enough. Wade is going to score 24 or 26 a game, and he's not going to enough get help anywhere else. He's the best player in the series, but he's not on the best team. The best team is the Blazers, because they're well-rounded, their talent is less redundant, and they've got a dominating frontcourt.
And if people agree with that, it doesn't mean they're blindly voting for me because they find my movie references funny.
