Game 47: Wizards (15-31) vs. Hornets (16-31) - 01/30/2020 00:00 UTC

I wonder if anyone has ever averaged 28+ points on a better-than-league-average TS% and not made an All Star game.

Gilbert Arenas was averaging 28.2 ppg with a 56.6 TS% and was snubbed in the coaching vote. He only made it as an injury reserve because Jermaine O'Neal was injured. And the Wizards were a playoff team.

Good one.

It's worth noting that Beal is posting his numbers in fewer minutes. Arenas averaged 36.1 points per 100 possessions. Beal is averaging 37.8. Also, the Arenas team was 21-21 on January 31st that year. I'm not sure if they were a playoff seed at that moment.

But overall it's a pretty good point. Arenas was putting up comparable numbers on a slightly better team but got snubbed.

It's not just star treatment. Beal has finally figured out all of the tricks of the trade. He reminds me a bit of DeRozan, but better at getting to the rack. He just knows how to get into you and draw a foul at the last second.

Man, if he can just get his 3-ball back up to career averages, he'd be All-NBA. If you take his current numbers, but assume a 40% 3P%, he'd be averaging 31.2 points a game on a TS% of .622.

Increased strength has really helped him. He’s entering his prime and it’s really a shame he wasn’t named an All-Star.. smh

I’m guessing someone sits out and BB gets in.

There’s usually at least one person sitting out but that’s happened before and Brad still didn’t get in . Remember a few years back , they chose Carmelo Anthony as the first alternate instead of Brad ..

Brads fiancé was heated on Twitter lol, she said it’s all politics and that she told him to decline if he gets invited . I hope she calms down and realizes that’s not the best approach to take.. it’s definitely frustrating but you never wanna turn down that invite out of anger

I gotta say by the end of the game I was sick of hearing about what a travesty it was Beal didn’t make the Allstar team. I mean all game long it was non stop he was snubbed oh what a disrespect on and on. And Beal with this just sour look on his face all night sulking around shaking his head, after that block where he just paced around shaking his head about he just made a play like that and he’s not an allstar all while his team is at the other end of the court missing a shot without rebound because that playing 4 on 5 I mean enough already dude get over yourself!

This stuff just really gets on my nerves, this whole I’m the franchise player mentality and don’t disrespect me and the team needs to be built around me and they need to appease me or I might want to leave. Dude maybe you’re not as good as you think you need to improve your defense one thing we learned from Kobe is take pride in your D, just because the Wizards anointed you franchise player and overpaid you doesn’t mean you are a shoe in for all star or it’s some big disrespect I mean his post game with Chris I thought he seriously was about to cry.

Then Halliburton said he bolted after the game without talking to press or answering any questions because he was so upset. They won the game! I mean what a baby, that whole game just blew my mind what a ridiculous reaction.

BB was bummed out about not making the all-star team. He's human...you'd be pissed too if you thought it was something you had earned. Beal's lady Kamiah was going in on the league about the all-star snub on Glen Consor's post-game radio show...when BB showed up and quietly shut her down. Give him some credit for not venting or letting his lady continue to vent on the airwaves. In fact, it was probably a good--and smart--thing that he left quickly last night and didn't address the snub. Best to cool off first.

Beal hurt his leg on that block. That's why he didn't run down to the other end. He got up limping after the block. You probably couldn't see that if you were watching on TV because the play (and cameras) had moved quickly to the other end of the court.

Edit to add: You also probably didn't see Beal run over to Bryant and give the frustrated TB an encouraging pat on the butt after Bryant let an easy pass from BB go through his hands. That's leadership. I'm guessing that the cameras didn't catch that as well.

If you didn’t watch it on tv you probably couldn’t see the sourpuss look on his face all night and the constant shaking his head and non stop yammering at the other team about how disrespected he was. Also in his defense it wasn’t just him CHRIS Miller was over the top about how it was such a disgrace and a travesty all night long and after the game ranting about how Brooks needed to leave Brad in to get his triple double because he needed it on this night, and Kerchner who I can’t stand just kept harping on it all night about how it was such an insult , it was just overbearing IMO.

Truth is Brad your team stinks and you get yours, putting your team on your back and working so hard putting up 40 shots a game and letting your man blow past you uncontested and standing there not rotating on D because your sacrificing so much on the other end getting buckets. it's empty production. Your team is HISTORICALLY BAD on defense. Maybe the coaches looked at how the Wizards played with him out.

I mean the over reaction for a guy who’s a borderline allstar at best, I mean we’re not talking about Lebron or Harden.

Beal is an allstar hands down. But you can't be mad when you don't make it on a bad team. You're getting buckets and he's showing he's a great player but he hasn't earned I this year he did last year. He was amazing last year. He played D , put the team on his back and earned that money. He hasn't been trying on D this year and he isn't earning it. Beal is amazing but he just isn't trying as hard and that's why he didn't make the team.

Kenny on inside the NBA said only 2 players in NBA history have averaged 28 and not made the all star team.
