I looked for it on youtube so it could be posted in the thread with the others but couldn't find it. My apologizes to Will and danpalm for not including it.

Counting this one, Batum assisted on four of the nominees. Batman to ... everyone!

For me it was between this one, for teamwork and poetry of motion, and Lillard dunking over the Lakers front line.

Lillard over Lakers for the win!!

Fropez facializing Asik was good too.

Taking out Harden with a solid screen before cutting to the hoop landed my vote...

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I dont think a dunk contest dunk should be included.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The two Lillard (game) dunks are the best in my opinion.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I dont think a dunk contest dunk should be included.

It was discussed in the nomination thread so I went with the wishes of the group.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm going with T-Rob in the playoffs.

Close out game.
4th Quarter
2 point game.

Not the prettiest dunk, I thought the Dame dunk on GS was better but in terms of actual momentum shifting dunk, I'd go with this one. T-rob had those burst of just awesomness in the playoffs.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Vote!

 

[Strenuus]

I went with the Lillard dunk vs. Lakers. Why you ask?

Because in my head, Kaman had a little thought bubble pop up after Lillard dunked it that said "Fuck this, I'm going to Portland!"

 

[BigGameDamian]

How about the drunk of the year?

 

[Dnjfranklin]

What about this? Block of the year AND dunk of the year in one play:

That's exactly why I voted for it. It was meaningful, as meaningful as a big ole dunk could possibly be. And for my money, that was when I actually felt we could do it... we could win the series.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

What about this? Block of the year AND dunk of the year in one play:

I think we'll get a Best Duo category, and that's going straight into it!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What about this? Block of the year AND dunk of the year in one play:

I think we'll see that one on the play of the year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

How about the drunk of the year?

They retired that category after Oden won 5 years in a row.

 

[magnifier661]

I thought it was "drunk of the year". Was tossing up either Oden or Rice

 

[PDXFonz]

Thii was really hard for me to vote for. The T-Rob dunk was my favorite because I remember how hyped I was when it happened, but the best dunk....

I voted for the Rolo dunk over asik. Biggest stage, best dunk, robin lopez.

 

[THE HCP]

Dame's throw down on the W's gets my vote!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Keep voting!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Just a few hours left to get your vote in!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

How about the drunk of the year?

PapaG meltdown?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Bump.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

T-Rob making a strong showing! That was an important dunk!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Poll closes at 9:45am so make sure you get your vote in for Dunk of the Year!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Holy crap, T-Rob won! I can see the Canzano article now:

It was just a standard dunk, a little give and go. No three-sixty. No between-the legs. But it was something more.

It gave the fans hope.

Clinging to a two-point lead in the early minutes of the fourth quarter, the Blazers were in a crucial spot. Their bench was in, and Aldridge -- the hero of games one and two -- was sitting on the bench.

And Thomas Robinson knew the moment was now.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Holy crap, T-Rob won! I can see the Canzano article now:

Hahahahaha!

Rep'd

 

[BlazerWookee]

Holy crap, T-Rob won! I can see the Canzano article now:

OK, that's just creepy right there. Repped!
