It is definitely possible that not voting for the favorites might help Broy. If every blazer fan votes for Roy as many times as possible, there are an equal number of votes that could support any other guard in the WCF. Kobe and CP are going to get love from the rest of the league anyway, what I am saying is why aid them? This is like saying I’m not going to vote for McCain because he’s going to lose no matter what I do. You don’t support something that is wrong just because it is futile to oppose it (and don’t take this literally, which is something you are wont to do)! Step up, and think for yourself. And your point below seems to directly conflict with your point above. If CP and Kobe are going to get voted in regardless, there’s no reason to worry about either of them not getting voted in, and competing for Roy for coaches’ approval. If our efforts get Roy voted in, though, wouldn’t that be spectacular?

And in fact, the best thing to do may be to vote for just our players and not give the other guard or forward votes to anybody else in competition with Roy and Aldridge. Just leave the last two spots blank, or if that’s not possible, vote for players that have absolutely no chance of making it into the all star game (rafer alston, for example)
