ESPN Poll Bias?

"That's cool.  I'll just turn things up a bit tonight at the ESA."

"That's cool. I'll just turn things up a bit tonight at the ESA."

Maybe 10:30 is too late for the ESPN poll maker to stay up to watch an NBA game.  Here's their latest poll:

Espnpgpoll_medium

Deron is averaging 25.5 & 13 and gets no love.  It continues.

Here's another poll with all of the options.  You can vote for who you would like, you just have more options.

Great poll.

Love the site, too btw. ESPN hates any team that isn’t from LA, Cleveland, Miami, or Boston. As a Spurs fan, I am stunned that Tony Parker even made the list. Keep up the good work. And go Jazz (in this series!)

no major complaints

Its not a bad list Rose is there on the strength of his game 1 but he underwhelmed in game 2. Parker and Billups have both had better playoffs than Deron with wins. You cant really argue with Rajons triple double.

CP3 is nowhere to be seen thanks to excellent defense by the Nuggets who have given him fits all season.

well...

it’s the binary star argument . . . remember in yr 2 d-will was having a way better season than CP3 at the all-star break . . . but deron couldn’t have been an all-star before chris paul, so they sent memo instead? it’s the same deal. if CP is having a crappy playoffs, and deron is having a good one, you can’t bring deron up because of the backlash from all the marketing and ads that already feature CP3 heavily.

CP3 isn't on there either

So don’t get too fussy. I’m a fan of D-Will and think he’s the best shooter of the bunch, but you can’t think too hard about a ESPN poll.

dude

that has no relevance here. We showed you that link as a favor, you didn’t even know where to find it. And you and I are having our own discussion about this topic on another post. Why would you put that here, except to deliberately paint all Jazz fans as classless? We’ve done nothing but show you respect. Thanks for repaying it with trolling.

Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

and this has to do with the post how?

You are quickly becoming this site’s #1 all time troll.

he's a laker fan

what do you expect?

The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.

Worst fan in the world

Do you see anyone else doing it?

Best fans in the world.
Save for the 1 jackass…

Speaking of poll bias ... love how Deron is winning the poll on the Jazz's SLC Dunk blog!

Deron is having a nice series … now only if the Jazz could get a win or 4!!!!

You'll find nothing but love for Chauncey Billups from me. I have loved that guy's game since 2002.

But it is a SLCDUNK site. Wouldn’t you think we were weird if we didn’t vote for Deron? He has deserved the praise as much as anyone though. It’s not like we are voting for Kosta Koufos to be the rookie of the year.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.

by clarkpojo on Apr 23, 2009 2:14 PM MDT up reply actions  

hahahaha! I hear ya ...

I totally agree my man. I throw that poll up over at Pickaxe and I expect Billups to win as well. Nothing wrong with giving your boys some props.

Now please beat the Lakers … thanks!

I've loved Billups' game since 1988

we were in the sixth grade and he was amazing already.

I'll make it coach.

Like I wrote in the recap of the last Nuggs/Jazz meeting

I think your GM should be exec of the year. Getting Billups and bringing in Andersen has been the difference by far for the Nuggs.
