Why every poll answer is wrong:
Marshland Mammals : Mammals are of course the dominant creatures in most environments, but marshes and swamps belong to reptiles. This may be the only team ever that would get eaten by an alligator in their home court, so clearly they can't possibly win.
GS_Warriors: If you're not even willing to go the distance in typing out "Golden State", the righteous spirits of Don Nelson and Chris Mullin will lead you to ruination. They haven't got time for guys who cut corners.
Cassville Yuck: This one is obvious; if you're going to lose a battle to the death with a ham sandwich, there's no way you'll avoid choking against actual sentient opposition. (Never mind that she didn't actually choke on a ham sandwich here, because otherwise I'd have to talk about the episode of Scooby Doo she was in and ain't nobody wants that).
Minnesota Snowbirds: If there's one thing Minnesota as a sports state is good at, it's losing by the conference finals. I still think that Vikings team in 1998 may have been the best team ever to not make a Super Bowl, but they didn't. But on the bright side, you don't have to be a winner to have a great party boat.
Rik Smits Clogs : The thing is, whether anyone else cares to admit it, we know that the Dutch are the biggest trolls in the world. I mean, what country are they from? The Netherlands? Holland? And the people are Dutch? They're making it all up. The language itself even is made up - they actually speak German, but they persist with the silly talk like they have their own language to make laugh on the rest of the world. And thus the Clogs - the only explanation for a 7'4" mullet-headed guy in wooden shoes is genetic manipulation by a master comedian. Unfortunately, the playoffs are serious business, and the Dutcherhollandaise aren't so good at that (see Tulips).
Jack Rabbits: Rabbits are, of course, fearsome and lethal predators and as such would likely have been certainly a strong candidate to come out of the playoffs astride the corpses of their enemies, at least those without the sense to "run away! run away!" Alas, ever since the discovery of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in the year of our Lord 1387, the threat of Rabbit domination has been lost to the shifting sands of time, or it would be if anyone used hourglasses for anything other than props for villains in shitty movies.
Silverbacks: The playoffs are a time for those with ambition, verve, zest, and all those other nifty nouns that evoke images of large penii swaying to and fro. It's for those who are going to go all out until they get the gold, which they'll proudly wear on their chest (unless they're a swimmer, in which case they'll sell it for weed money). When instead you're aiming for silver, and wearing the medal on your back, even if you reach your goals you're not a winner, just the best of the losers.
Milwaukee Lethargy : If the contest were in an assisted living facility, this would be the team to beat. Unfortunately, most of the players are in a nursing home and they are, in fact, being beaten. Elder abuse is wrong, kids. Hopefully they can get rescued from that hellhole and find a place where they can live out their days happily crapping their pants in peace and comfort.
This poll is stupid! Where is TTS and FCC?!? -- Hardly. There are no stupid questions, just stupid people who ask questions that anyone with a pulse should know the answer to.
