Torn on the ORL-CLE series.


I'm glad I wasn't the only one to take off my green glasses, I think both teams are very close (I ended up going with Orlando) and stats prove that. (I would also assume I.P is torn on this series as I would probably rate him up there with you when it comes to evaluating teams and matchups)

So if people disagree with you, they're wearing green glasses and aren't as good as you at evaluating teams and matchups?

I respectfully disagree.

If you would tell me that their was not a "KG Factor" in your decision or that you didn't play favorites with one team having KG and the other having Kobe, I would respectfully disagree. As for your second part, yes. (Of course I'm kidding, I never said I was a better evaluator than anyone all I said was that I.P and Who are 2 of the best at evaluatiing matchups.)

I would put a bunch of other people in that category too... people who voted Cleveland (or at least I think they did).

Of course there's a KG factor.  That doesn't mean people are wearing green glasses.  I have a hard time believing that there's a fan of the NBA who doesn't believe there's a KG factor, after watching how he instantly infused this team with energy, and watching his passion and intensity.

With Kobe, what's a neutral or fair evaluation?  I think he's an amazing individual talent who has an amazing drive, but who no longer can consistently win games on his own.  Heck, he's never been able to consistently win games on his own.  Recently, his teams have performed poorly when he has "gone off" on scoring binges.  He needs big contributions from his supporting cast.

What part of the "the achilles will slow him down" argument don't you buy?  Guys at his age who experience major injuries are generally going to show some decline, at least initially.

I'm pretty sure fans know there is a "KG Factor" but the thing is they probably don't overrate it like the people here do. Anyways last time I checked KG led his team to a 41-40 regular season and a first round exit. (I realize you are going to point out what happen to Kobe, but now he doesn't have to deal with Dwight and has a team that plays to his strengths.)

That's why Kobe has guys like Jack, Millsap, etc. (I would like to point out that Jack didn't choke in the playoffs, he averaged 17.2 ppg and .506 FG%.)

Ok let's say he does show some decline initially he will be back at full strength come playoffs though.

Congrats to Indy and their GM Rondo2287 on a hard fought series and for the spirited debate (even if I do vehemently disagree with the results).

Well done.

Yeah that's quick. Wish we had more than 18 votes, that's a poor showing but out of nicks hands.

But 14 of you were dead wrong. DEAD WRONG!

The results are in the spreadsheet on another sheet. The same username/email and password should get you in.

Thunder        17  Thunder advance
Spurs           1

My second blowout loss to Dwight Howard and its even worse than the first. Maybe somewhat deserved given that I decided the deadline to vote was tomorrow. Many thanks to the one true believer. I will say Lucky17 was a worthy opponent and gets my support in the rounds ahead.

I only wish I'd voted (against you) so that I could throw this back in your face (with love).

Back at you - good match between two well-matched squads. 

Good luck in the semis - I think New York is ripe for the picking.

Surprise that Dallas-Rockets came down to a tiebreaker. I thought for sure that would happen in the Lakers Warriors match up but Warrior votes just kept coming in.

Really disappointed in the drop of voting and that of the 25 teams, only 14 decided to vote in this round with three playoff participating GMs missing votes.
