:lol:

The funny thing is, most people have picked the Celtics in this thread if we are just counting votes per post, and the Warriors are killing the Bulls right now, there is no poll in that thread.

'86 Celtics got robbed.



Who in the world are you talking about rigging the poll?

We need to make things right for the '86 Celtics. Since the '96 Bulls are currently getting stomped by the '17 Warriors and lost the vote to the '86 Celtics in this thread if we are counting votes per post, I might make a 1986 Celtics vs 2017 Warriors, with a poll this time since we don't have to worry about that sick maniac Jordansbulls and his many alts.

That post above is from this thread. An alt. This is the poster that got me suspicious that something odd was going on.

MavsDirk41 wrote:Cumulative stats is your thing i guess. Jordan has a higher RS winnjng pct, playoff winning pct, better record against 60 win teams in the playoffs, never lost HCA in the playoffs, more championships, more league mvps, more 60 win seasons, and played with less top end talent.



MavsDirk in another thread talking about the same cast and using HCA in another thread.

The supposed “evidence” for these claims is completely laughable. The idea that everyone who abbreviates home-court advantage as “HCA” is the same person is idiotic. It’s all just evidence that would not convince anyone who isn’t a total rube. I doubt it even convinces the OP.

There have actually been people who create alt accounts to manipulate RealGM votes. It happened on the PC board, and resulted in permanent bans for two individuals. Incidentally, those two people were explicitly doing it to manipulate votes against Michael Jordan. But, more importantly, the evidence for them doing it was actually very strong, since they apparently literally talked about what they were doing on a Discord server. The evidence was not nonsense in which someone assumes two people who use the same abbreviation or make a similar point must be the same person, nor did it involve someone trying to act like such accusations make sense to other people by quoting supposed supportive PMs they received from random people. This is just bush league stuff that belongs at a Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

The other posters I called out haven't responded at all. In fact, one of them posted in the 2017 Warriors vs 1996 Bulls threads (not dirkmavs), and didn't address that I called him out and was posting in the same style as JB.

"Okay, but what about moving screens from Green that Bogut was able to get away with in Golden State but nowhere else?"

He didn't even vote because he knew I caught him. Just took a swipe at the Warriors and left. :lol:
