    Tell it to the Magic fans. They won the conference and are given 7% chance of doing it again?

    At the same time, they made some what is probably a lateral move(at best), where Boston and Cleveland made much more solid moves to improve. The logic makes sense.

    Kevin Pritchard is arrogant. The GM votes reflect the hatred that other GMs have for Portland because of Kevin Pritchard. :ghoti:

    Every single one? D-Howard is the best offensive rebounder in the league? Zach Randolph got a vote in this category, as did Paul Millsap and Udonis Haslem - but Greg Oden did not get any votes...

    Please... let's not forget that some of the people with a vote run teams like the Clippers, The Bucks, the Kings and the like. The league has tons of bad general managers who are only in the place they are because of name recognition as past players, good sucking up to the owner skills or are cheap...

    It only proves that there are tons of people who are clueless and have a GM title in the league. Should not be a real surprise, up to 3 years ago we had people like Steve Patterson and John Nash as our GM - is this really a surprise that tons of clueless people run some of the teams in the league?

    The Blazers had one of the most efficient, per possession offense in the league last year, no opinions by Mike Dunlevy or whoever runs the Bucks nowadays required. The Blazers had the highest win margin in the league after the all-star game last year - no need to hear what Chris Wallace, Mike Dunleavey, Larry Riley or Rod Higgins think...

    I think it pays to remember that the GMs of the Grizzlies, the Clippers, the Bobcats and the Timberwolves get to vote in this thing.

    Not exactly a brain trust.

    I don't understand how Cleveland has the best home court when it's just their PA announcer yelling the entire time to tell people to scream with him. Their team was dominant at home last season, but it wasn't exactly the most intimidating place for opponents to play. I'd still put Utah up there.
