I just did my part by voting for Houston's starting lineup.

Rafer definitely deserves to be an All-Star.

T-Mac is going to give it up most likely.

At the beginning of the season I wanted T-Mac in the AllStar Game but seeing him now its like he doesnt deserve.

As much as T-Mac is my hero, CP3 deserves to start. Still I see T-Mac giving his spot to someone else

since there's noway to track the numbers of votes
i believe at the end even if Yi beat Garnett in vote
they will still announce Garnett at #2

I voted 50 more times for T-Mac. JK :lol:

Yeah, He doesnt deserve to go to the game. Paul is way more deserving than Tracy. I think T-Mac's all-star status is finally running out for him. It's funny how people talk about Tracy ahead of Paul, when Yi is ahead of Garnett. lol

yea, I thought this would be a good thing when the 2nd returns came out, but his mentality is too weak. He can still be an all-star in this league, it's just up to whether he wants to put in 100% every night. Even if he did, Paul should clearly be the starter.
