Lakers fans predictions on Cs-Cavs

guys-

thought you would find this interesting.

On my Laker board, which is a fairly small group, about the size of Sam's, I just noticeed a poll with predictions for the Cs-Cavs and have posted below.

The guys on my board are pretty knowledgeable and unbiased, and we like the way the Cs stack up:



Cavs vs Celtics, Who wins the series?
Poll ends on 05/07/2010

Cavs in 4: 0 votes
Celtics in 4: 0 votes
Cavs in 5: 2 votes
Celtics in 5: 0 votes
Cavs in 6: 5 votes
Celtics in 6: 13 votes
Cavs in 7: 5 votes
Celtics in 7: 6 votes


That's a 19-12 total in favor of the Cs, with Cs in 6 by far getting the most votes.

So the "experts" at the worldwide leader might be down on the Cs but the fans of your biggest rival aren't.

On this board is there a way to prevent one person from voting multiple times?

gyso,

Thank you for the information. I didn't do a good job in making my question very clear. I was referring to bsh's comment about the poll on the Lakers board.
I am pretty sure that on bdc you can keep voting on a poll, thus the numbers are inaccurate/worthless. Almsot like how the same few Allen Iverson fans that must have spent a day voting on nba.com, thus him winning a starting position in this past All-Star game.

bsh,

What I find interesting in this poll is that more Laker fans (on that forum) have the Celtics winning in 7 than the Cavs in 7 despite the fact that the Cavs will be playing at home for game 7.

Usually, on a close-out game, like Celtics in 6 or Cavs in 7, you would give the nod to the home team. Not those people.

Well, for what it's worth, they are all 100% accurate in their predictions so far, since nobody predicted this series in 4.

tj- unlike the trolls who haunt the bdc while living n their parents' basements, the Laker fans on my board all have lives. That's why I like my board it's small and controlled- not a zoo like Lakersground.

Plus, I wouldn't waste people's time here with something that was meaningless.

One person - one vote. End of story.

bob-

I can't speak for those guys, as I thnk the formula is for the Cs to take one on theroad and then hold serve at home, closing it out in 6.

If I'm guessing, I'd say the guys who took Cs in 7 like the way the Cs perform under pressure than the way Mo Williams, et al will perform under pressure.

babysky,
It's an interesting poll, I can think of a few areas of possible bias. It's possible that the Laker fans would rather go up against the Celtics, because of the rivalry and a possible rematch or that Laker fans dislike Cleveland even more than Boston or would find that match up with the Lakers less interesting. But barring those, it is interesting. Any general consensus on the reasoning?

bsk

A thought.

Please this is me talking and certainly not the entire board. So take no offense by this. I really don't care how we win or whom we play to get there. I know there have been many overtures of friendship on here between the C's and the Lakers and thats fine and enjoyable, but me personally I hoped the Lakers would lose in the first round. Now I hope you lose in the second. I just have a strong dislike for the lakers and always want them to lose whenever they play, sort of like the Yankees in baseball. Knowing full well they will win many more than they lose dosn't really matter. I still hope they do lose.

Please this is nothing personal against you or any laker fans. And I really wonder how many Laker fans feel the same way about us? Quite a few I suppose.

We both have no control over who wins or loses anyway, and I'm sure you would be happy as a lark winning another title regardless of whom it's against as would I, and yes beating your arch rival might add a little to it but I just want the ring period.

Perhaps a collision course again is in the stars. Who knows at this point.

And it would not surprise me that the Lakers (fans) can't stand Bron anymore than us too and want us to win for that reason alone!

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I know in our off board talks you felt pretty strong that we hadda shot and Cleve was beatable.

I am still in happy shock over Sheed.

Hope to see you cats waiting for us in the finals. My guess is cleve will come back at us hard and mean. I think the next game will be brutal but I also think we can PLAY them into losing their composure.

Jeb,
As I said to cowens, on the extremely offhand chance that trashing him (sheed) improves his game in the cosmic scheme of things, take another shot at him, why don't ya?

lacelt

THAT DAMN SHEED COST US EVERY GAME WE LOST THIS YEAR AND HE DROVE THE HOUSING MARKET DOWN! HE'S THE WORST PLAYER EVER!

jeb

Sheed is behind string warts bad breath and most shark attacks.

With Sheeds temperment and chompers I do think he is responsible for the shark attacks.

LACelt and beat-

the poll I posted was a poll of what the guys on my board think will happen. Not what we want to happen. That poll might look substantially different, as I know a few of the guys who are predicting a Cs win would prefer to see them lose. This poll was just what a group of basketball fans thought of the matchup.

I think most are picking the Cs because we like the matchups at 4 of the 5 positions and like the intestinal fortitude of the Cs versus some of the bed-wetters like Mo Williams.


As far as what we would want to see happen, I would like to see the Cs win b/c I know it would make the guys on his board happy and b/c I can't stand James and Varejao, whereas I have a lot of respect for the Big Three.

beat-

ps: nothing personal taken.

Thanks, I figured you would understand.
