Raptor fans can't vote, Nate barely edges DeRozan

Postby Raptors Digest on Sun Feb 14, 2010 2:09 pm

I have had alot of emails and texts and calls from readers claiming their votes didnt get accepted on nba.com and that they got a bad gateway error message.

I got the same message on Friday, but thought it was my connection, and was voting via text at the same time so didnt think twice about it....until last night when my email and phone blew up after DeRozan lst by 1%

Anyone else who had this problem, please let us know, we have people complaining from New York, Ohio, Hamilton, Toronto and more

Same here!, i tried voting but got the error. It pisses me off since derozan might of been a few thousand votes off, who knows. I actually only wanted DD to win so that he would have to come back next year. I still think he has some dunks that he could of done but chose not too. Maybe he was planning to do a dunk with a prop but since nobody else was pulling props he decided not to. Who knows
Undefeated's answer to me saying Bargs is a bad offensive rebounder. "So what if he doesn't grab offensive rebounds, he boxes-out for Bosh which is why Bosh is grabbing those offensive rebounds"

There may have been a problem and maybe Demar should have won simply for having the best dunk of the night but really, that was a horrible contest and they should have just kept the trophy.

It didn't work for me so I opened a new tab and the page where you could vote wouldn't even open!

It is not shady, as it applies to everyone that visits NBA.com not just Toronto fans.

I tried about 10 times, only my first vote (After Nate's first dunk) got through.

I couldn't vote online either, and there's no way of telling if the text votes got counted or not (but I'm sure I'll see the charges on my next bill) :evil:

in today's web age, it's quite unacceptable that live fan voting are giving gateway errors... something is up..
