I can't stop giggling

at the thought of Brandon, let alone Travis, on the all-defense team.

Somebody pulled a Swirsky

The voting panel consisted of the NBA’s 30 head coaches, who were asked to select NBA All-Defensive First and Second Teams by position. Coaches were not permitted to vote for players from their own team. Two points were awarded for a First Team vote and one point was awarded for a Second Team vote.

Whoever voted for Outlaw must have done it for comedic reasons. Someone actually voted for David Lee on the 1st team. I don’t think they take this seriously. At least I hope so.

Anyone who voted for Brandon Roy or Travis Outlaw is a fool.

Maybe Outlaw blocked a ball in his face on the sideline :)

Does anybody have memories or video of such an event?

by Norsktroll on May 6, 2009 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions

maybe it was the Wizards' coach?

Roy did get 10 steals against them…

LMAO!

Outlaw? Really?

by dario argento on May 6, 2009 2:10 PM PDT reply actions

uh...

how is Wade not on the first team? I guess it’s arguable with Kobe, but wasn’t Wade 3rd in the DPOY voting?

by DrivetheLane on May 6, 2009 2:18 PM PDT reply actions

Wade is a better defender than Kobe

I have not yet begun to defile myself.

If there was an All Defense Third Team

Joel Przybilla is on it!

by robrun2 on May 6, 2009 2:38 PM PDT reply actions

Good conclusion

by Norsktroll on May 6, 2009 3:04 PM PDT up reply actions

This is great

now maybe we can trade Outlaw to a team and fool their fans in to thinking he is a D stopper!
anything to boost his stock!

C*mcast sucks!

I'd put odds on Atlanta's coach voting for Brandon

I presume he never forgot Brandon hounding Joe Johnson into a contested outside shot to cost them a game last year.

Considering the players who got votes, it would not surprise me if coaches vote purely on how a player did against their team for 2-5 games a season.

Was there a team this year that Travis had a couple good defensive games against?

by Timmay! on May 6, 2009 5:16 PM PDT reply actions

That Bo Outlaw is a hell of a defender.

by howlingfantods on May 6, 2009 5:33 PM PDT reply actions

Whoever voted for Outlaw

has never watched a Blazer game in their entire life.

by Roybot on May 6, 2009 5:51 PM PDT reply actions

Outlaw plays great defense in spurts

but we better remember the spurts where he… err.. plays less than great defense.

by Gargen on May 6, 2009 5:57 PM PDT reply actions

Yeah

But the players that are actually deserving to be on the list play great defense all the time. Playing defense in spurts is not worthy of recognition. At least not the awards kind.

by Roybot on May 6, 2009 6:11 PM PDT up reply actions

If by "spurts" you mean

1 possession per season, then yeah, he plays great defense in spurts.

by tominrehab on May 6, 2009 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions

on the espn season awards thing they said that outlaw is a great defender and a slasher so obviously the world outside of portland has another view of him
also i think it was memphis that picked him for defense because he always plays well against them(i know its only of offense but they gave away gasol for nothing so they obviously have no idea about anything basketball related there)
