Can we find out who this all time great was?
 
rck still needs to be taught what voting is

us socialists from canada dont know too much about democracy 
 
big j 33 big j 33 can you let me know if my vote registered. I dont think I finished and all of a sudden the page was asking me to get started.
 
I won 16-12. 57% to your combined 43%

I removed the names so people were just voting based on the team.

By all means, let's go over it, how does your team beat mine head to head?

I don't think your team is bad by any means, but we had a fairly close matchup.

Rose vs Russ... I'm partial to Russ for obvious reasons, but let's be fair and call it a draw.

Drexler vs Jones... Clyde is a legend, no doubt he has the edge there.

Butler vs Pierce.. Pierce

Davis vs Duncan.. a great and fun matchup, Davis' year last year beats out Duncan's best in terms of PER and WS/48 and was an insane season... but Tim Duncan put up some pretty amazing seasons himself. But let's be honest.. you're given one choice to pick a PF to play in the most important basketball game of all-time, you're going to pick Duncan over Davis.

Yao vs Eaton.. Yao is obviously the better player, but this is one of the best case scenarios for guys to match up defensively considering Eaton is 7'4" and 275 pounds and a 2 time DPOY and multi-year all-NBA defense.

Both our benches have a nice mix of 3 point shooting, defense, athleticism, but you don't have a stretch big which could hurt your flexibility.

Your team is good, but people likes others a bit more. End of story.

What was the point of your post? I didn't complain about losing.

I came in to say even tho I'm salty, which I didn't even have to admit but was honest enough to say, I wanted to be a team player and vote and show support.

There was no sarcasm or whining in my post.

Did I ever mention you didn't deserve to beat me? I was talking about respect for my squad since the draft ended, not your random online bracket.

But thank you for letting me know how much more deserving other teams are. I've noticed that's the consensus by the polls and peoples thoughts.

I didn't complain today, so it's unfortunate you made me feel like I did.

You said your team wasn't getting respect, we're doing the brackets, so yeah.. I took that as part of the lack of respect. But I didn't repeat the score to brag, I repeated it to show that plenty of people thought your team was better.. that your team was good. 

If you thought your team wasn't getting it's recognition, I opened the floor to talk about it.. defend your team. That's the whole point of this, making our own teams, comparing them, discussion, etc. 

My post wasn't sarcastic or insulting, I legitimately wanted to see if you wanted to debate and defend your team. 
 
Exactly right.

LTB, you have every right to explain your team, hits, misses, lineups, etc, just like anyone else. I mean, 16-12, and Big J had a lot of votes/recognition pre bracket, that should tell you that a lot of people did in fact like your squad as it was a damn close score. You could clearly make your counter to what J said when he broke down the rosters.

There's 30 teams, and all 30 are stacked in a traditional sense. None of us truly know how one team would fare over another, it's all just opinion and estimation.

Don't sweat it tho. Your team is solid, everyone in here knows that, hell, you called Mike on it, and he admitted that when he opened it up and looked, your team was better than he thought. That alone tells you all you need to know. Mike could have messed with you more and kept up "your team stinks" but he didn't, he came real and said yeah, not bad man. That's pretty big respect imo.
 
Having said all that, I'll let the voting continue through tonight... let's call the deadline 11pm. For tomorrow, I''ll post up the matchups for the next round and let everyone adjust if they feel like it, then when I get out of work I'll post the next survey. Let that run through Friday night/Saturday, repeat on Sunday, wrap this up in a few days.
