How's that decided?
The Third Basketball Fantasy Draft - Akshay/Syrian vs Moby
- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
@Skizzo what to do now?
Tie break cam be decided however you'd like.
We can ask 3 people who haven't voted, or I can flip a coin 7 times.
Why 7? Why not?

I'll go with the coin flip, sounds more exciting, do it one by one though!
Good with this.
Well now we're tied on tie break decision
Rather have this decided based on the teams than luck if I'm being honest.
How? It's 3 guys opinions it's also down to luck!
So are the votes, right?
I'll tag people who haven't voted. First 3 votes are the ones that count.
If we haven't gotten three deciding votes in 30 minutes, I'll flip the coin.
@syrian_scholes @Akshay @Moby
Does that sound fair?

Alright.
Okay
Yeah losing by coin flip just seems a depressing way to lose.
If you've been tagged here, its because we're in OVERTIME! Regulation time couldn't separate these Warriors of the Court, so now we need your help!
First three votes in the next 60 minutes will decide this game! skim the thread, look at the teams, decide who would win. Post your reasoning or your vote doesn't count.
@Keeps It tidy @Neutral @Stobzilla @RobinLFC @adexkola @ZDwyr @Skills
But, the excitement.
BTW you'll need to type your vote and reasoning out as the poll is closed
I made it 60 minutes so people have more of a chance to check in. Also if they vote without some kind of reasoning, it doesn't count. Someone that hasn't been tagged can also post and vote if they make it in before the deadline and there hasn't been three votes already.
Only just noticed the thread. If I may I'd like to vote for the team with Kobe Bryant because kobe is the man!
ffs
Did we win?
Two really good teams.
But the reason why I went with Moby and feel he would win is his amazing defense.
3 All-Time great defenders in KG, Kawhi and Stockton and another very good defender in Klay. While Yao was not a great defender, he wasn't a aliability either. With his length he is anyway going to be a presence in the paint.
Also, one of my issue with Akshay and Syrian's team is while Kobe and CP are outstanding individual players, I am not sure if having an orthodox PG alongside Kobe is the right fit. Especially when you consider Kobe liked to handle the ball a lot. You also have Dirk and you can't just treat him like a Stretch-4. Would be under-utiziling him that way. I would have gone for someone like a Curry instead of CP alongside Kobe.
On to the bench, I like Akshay's and Syrian's bench more but in Hill and CWeb, Moby has two outstanding players who in all honestly could start in these games and not look out of place. Petrovic was a great shooter. So having him off the bench as a sharp-shooter is great as well. But not too high on Hibachi and Camby. They were good players but not players who would really add a lot off the bench.
Its still quite close but having a defense which can lock down a perimeter player or a big man in Kawhi and KG, made me vote in favour of Moby!

but we got a vote? I feel this is being dragged out.
Actually you're right, sorry. I intended it to be best of three votes, since there was only one, that ended up being the deciding one.
Kobe Factor it was
Congrats.
Unlucky @Moby great rally.
Man what a nervy ending! thanks SkizzoActually you're right, sorry. I intended it to be best of three votes, since there was only one, that ended up being the deciding one.

Good game Moby really fun stuff.
Damn. This is a tough one.
I reluctantly vote for Team Moby.
Edit: And like the complete idiot I am, I vote a few mins too late.

That's really unlucky Moby. Think our two teams were neck and neck and the vote reflected that. Could absolutely have gone either way.
No real reasoning there.
Cogent argument - but late.
Toss the coin.
He'd already voted during the game.
Fair enough.
The second wasn't a vote though, only the first.
I get your point, and as far as reasoning goes, I know it's a flimsy one. At the end of the day, it's tricky because it either comes down to the luck of a coin toss, or leaving it to someone else to vote. There's nothing to say all the other votes weren't made because "Kobe" or "Stockton" either (unlikely, I know)
