So are we still going to vote on the teams and then 14-19 play each other to get into the tournament? Vote first then whatif?sports?

That '83 Sixers squad was one hell of a team.

With my 3rd pick I select: Jaromir Jagr/RW MULLETASTIC!

True on both aspects, the character issue on team chemistry may be null now too. Great pick with Divac too Matzo, I was hoping he'd be around in the last round.

This is not an easy pick, since there is only one team that does not have a coach until it gets back to me, but I figure I better get one now. Rudy Tomjanovich/Coach 2 time NBA Champion 2000 Gold Medal Winner He coached my first round pick to 2 NBA titles, so it is probably a good idea to pair them up again for this tournament.

By the way, I am insanely jealous I didn't find ths thread in time. Cool thread! Based on the Savage pick, people don't have to declare the time frame of the selection or if they will be heel or face?

Well with my pick I was pretty much going to toss it up between Potvin, Bourque or Larry Robinson.

Good pick with Dr. Jack, he was a great coach and wore fanstastic suits!

Well since there seems to be a run on backup PG's, I am happy to select: Lafayette "Fat" Lever/PG I was very impressed by Lever's all around career averages (13.9-6.0-6.2-2.2stl)

With my 2nd pick I select: Denis Potvin/D/New York Islanders We'll be right back!

Trade him to the Heat for their 2011 1st round pick and Ricky Davis. Then have the Bulls take a restraining order out on Ricky D from coming within two miles of their locker room.

Will modify later, but want to keep draft moving: Dale Ellis/G-F/Seattle Sonics 19,000 career points .403 3 pt. percentage 25.6 PPG average between 1986-87 thru 1989-90

Although I watched and ordered PPV's (4 guys getting together, 7 bucks a pop was reasonable), after Slamboree 99 was when I mailed it in on WCW until the re-start around Slamboree 2000. The good thing about those first couple months back and if you look at the card, each match had a purpose as was not thrown together at the last minute or not even announced at all like many matches on the 98-99 PPV's.

So what do you guys want to see tomorrow? I have no rooting interest so I would like to see The Team of Two Cities win that first pick! Who is their rep? Hoping its Durant or Green so ESPN could grill them if they do win.

Yep the moving of the island may change the coordinates geographically, and thus make it hard to find. Reminds me of when Jack tells Kate he keeps getting onto flights hoping he can get back. I am thinking its the Widmore people, since they staged the other crash.

My guess as to why wacky Jack wants to get back to the island:

With my sixth pick, I select: Dwyane Wade/SG/Miami Heat

With the 7th pick, Gert selects: Phil Esposito/C

Great pick naiwf (back to the drawing board)......

I agree. I'm not one to criticize officiating but Utah is getting none of the calls down the stretch here. I'm practically yelling @ my TV after some of them. I think the only person that might be more angrier than I am is Jerry Sloan. That's pretty likely due to his send-off as he was leaving the court. I hope there were poor calls going on tonight, otherwise it seemed like Shandon Anderson was out there missing so many lay-ups in the sequel to 1997 NBA Finals Game 6. Great game, and I would be shocked if all three remaining series do not go seven.

Good pick Goblin, the only way I think he was a reach is that I would have picked him one pick later. My 5th pick: Alex English/F/Denver Nuggets 25,000 + pts. 8 time All-Star Led the league in scoring in 82-83 & 85-86 Playoff averages of 24.4-5.5-4.3

What was the low ball offer Matt Barnes got? I wouldn't pay too much money for him. Not saying he's awful, but how much did he want?

Sure but I can live with that with Hakeem on help-side. I never claimed he would be my lock-down at 3!

With my 4th pick, I select: Dirk Nowitzki/F/Dallas Mavericks Its time for my team to get some scorers, and I think Dirk could be even better if he ever played with truly dominant low-post players (which he never has). I would try to slot Dirk in as my starting small forward which could create matchup problems for smaller 3's.

Great pick Steviekick, Dantley was a great all-around player. I'm a little jealous
