[DETermination]

Definitley! I forget how nba allstar voting works, can we vote as much as we want? And when does it start.

I think it's one per system.

I believe it's once a day... but i haven't done it in a while, so they could have changed it.

We all have to this year for double Drummond. I'm thinking rj will deserve it too.....,,, **** John wall. I was thinking once a day depending on the system you voted like computer, ps4, xbox1, and phones

You're probably right.

We all need to vote for sure.
Dre needs to be there. If reggie gets in too, that's the icing on the top.
Our last all star was Allen f***ing Iverson... That's embarrassing.

Its going to be hard for Dre to get voted in, as the vote is for 3 bigs and 2 guards. Lebron is in for sure as a starter, and Melo is 99% sure to be a starting big because he has the voting power of New York and the fact the Knicks are actually a .500 team this year. Detroit has zero game on national television this year (TNT, ESPN, or ABC)

For the third big there is some healthy competition. Paul George is averaging over 25 PPG with nearly 9 RPG and nearly 5 ASG so his numbers are right up there with Dre as far as being great, and he's a former all-star who's got a big name fans know. Chris Bosh is also averaging 19 and 9+ and has a name more casual fans are going to be much more familiar with.

Uhhhhh Drummond has been on the front page of ESPN.COM a couple times already this year. It's not like he's a relative unknown like Rudy Gobert.

I really love KAT's passing ability and range, but I'm wondering how he'll adjust when refs start calling him for using that off arm. IF they start calling him for using the off arm.

Great match-up though. Just wish Dre wouldn't have gotten in foul trouble early. That whistle under the basket on Towns was just horrible.

If they're not calling it on him now, they never will

Most casual fans aren't visiting nba.com a bunch... Obviously the more hard core guys are, people on realgm and whatnot but its the huge numbers of casual fans that are going to make a big difference. Biggest thing for Dre is to have those huge games that get him on sportscenter... and for the team to keep winning and be a top 4 team in the east... I think either way, the coaches would vote him in as a reserve I'm just not sure he's going to be big enough of a name yet, to get voted in over guys like Lebron, Melo and George.

[Snakebites]

If we were under the old format where a center specifically needed to be voted in I'd say he's a shoe-in with our without rabid Piston fan support. With this new "front court" system, it will be tough.

As it stands, yeah, stuff the ballots to be sure.

[ComboGuardCity]

He'll be a reserve regardless

has dinwiddie been this good this long? no excuse for him not to have taken blakes minutes earlier

He was very bad in summer league and preseason. Blake certainly looked better than him in limited preseason action. Clearly that wasn't the case once the reg season started, but there was a reason he was lower on the depth chart to start.

Reggie makes some crazy shots, must be nice having a 7ft wingspan.

is that actually legitimate?? he was never measured at the draft combine

He didn't play well to start the season but lately he has been really aggressive and started to attack the basket a lot every game. And with his size and speed its hard to stop him when hes attacking, if he keeps playing like this it will be huge for this team.

the big question is WHERE is he going to find minutes when Jennings comes back??? he's not a 2 guard in the least

Yes it is. It's like 7ft 1 or something, you can tell he's lengthy. That's why I have a lot of hopes for him, he has everything you'd want from a PG

He played SF last year a little. If he finds his shot why couldn't he play the 2? Oh I forgot you actually don't watch this team.
