Out of this statement I can read that you haven't seen Love this season. :lol:

He's rusty as hell after that injury so far.


KLove's shooting has disappeared due to the hand injury but he has been rebounding like nuts. :lol:

I think Stephen Curry or David Lee should be in there if the Warriors keep winning.

Lopez is beasting so far and is playing the like the third best big in the East behind Bosh and AV. Chandler is right there as well. Not really understanding how anyone thinks outside of those 4 that anyone else should make it. No to Horford and J-Smooth, no to Noah and Hibbert.

Unless they screw over one of those 4 by taking another wing, that's the only way I can see Bosh, AV, Lopez and Chandler missing out.

Same as last year. Just replace Bynum with Dwight. We'll see the cumulative effects of the voting change and the hit on his image though.

Take away Harden's first two games

21/4/4 on now 37% FG . He slowly creeping into Austin Rivers efficiency

eh
he still has a PER of 19. 23/5/4, TS 55%. he's shooting 41% from fg but he's still efficient and above league average.

Paul, Bryant, Durant, Griffin, Howard
Westbrook, Parker, Harden, Gay, Randolph, Aldridge, Love

East:
Williams, Wade, James, Anthony, Chandler
Rondo, Holiday, Ellis, Pierce, Deng, Bosh, Varejao

This would be my choice... (Don´t like the LMA idea btw, but there´s nothing special in the west...)
And I think Ty Chandler will make the Starting Five...


take out howard and put in duncan
duncan is head and shoulders above howard.

I just didn't want to hurt his fans who think he's the best PF in the game ;)

Harden has plenty business being there considering the Rockets are 9-8 and the 6th seed in the West right now. It's absolutely ridiculous they're that high with the roster they have.

how on earth could all you posters justify blake over zbo, and someone even had the nerve to put love in front of him after missing all that time

blake 17.5ppg 8.9rpg 51.3%fg (60% of his fg's are assisted)
zbo.. 17.7ppg 13.3rpg 48.7%fg (55% of his fg's are assisted)

we all know blake and dwight will get voted in (all star game is a circus/joke so who cares), but zbo and duncan is the correct answer

Varejao is in one of the 3 worst teas in the league, he isnt an All Star.

ASG voting is so flawed.

It mostly goes to most popular and not really most deserving.
Last year was a bit different (surprisingly) because Iggy, Deng, LMA, and Hibbert actually got in.

I'm going with:

East
G: C. Paul
G: K. Bryant
F: K. Durant
F: T. Duncan
F: D. Howard

Reserve: R. Westbrook, T. Parker, J. Harden, R. Gay, B. Griffin, K. Love, Z. Randolph

East
G: R. Rondo
G: D. Wade
F: C. Anthony
F: L. James
F: C. Bosh

Reserve: J. Holiday, D. Williams, B. Jennings, J. Smith, K. Garnett, B. Lopez, T. Chandler
Dammit...:

I've got Nurkic fever now.

So was Love. Andy's stats aren't that insane but it is pretty insane for him. Deserves imo.

Duncan and ZBo should start but we all know it's not going to happen.

All-Star should be an individual award, not a team award.

Mitch Richmond's Kings lost 50 games every year, and he made a bunch of AS teams.

The Heat were the worst team in the entire NBA in 2007-08 with a 15-67 record, and Wade was an All-Star
