Come on, that team is about to go into total free-fall mode. Things aren't getting any better around there. All that's happening is Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol and Mike Dantoni and Steve Nash and everyone else not coexisting with each other. At all. They're going to need some very serious changes around there. I'm buying three months worth of popcorn for this train wreck.

i predict the lakers make a run in the 2nd half and play over .500 ball, meanwhile, the blazers and rockets play under .500 and the jazz and mavs stay about the same. the lakers squeeze into the 8th spot and get roasted in the 1st round by the thunder or clippers.

we should rename this thread to the "hey, at least we aren't the Lakers"...

Kemba not being on the top 25 or the Next 10 they put out is ridiculous.

one of the worst all-star omissions i can remember in recent memory. but to be fair, everyone, except howard, deserved to make the team in the west. i cant cry about parker, aldridge, lee etc...

21ppg, 6.5apg, 4rpg, 45% from three, leading league in 3s made (i think), team is 26-15 in loaded west.

how did ed davis make that list? thats hilarious.

Speaking of that under 25 top 25. How is John Wall and Eric Gordon not on there?

HornetJail · Post #1352 » by **HornetJail** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:28 am

I would've taken Curry over Parker pretty easily this season. Also would've taken Jefferson, Cousins, or Ibaka over Randolph as well but those aren't big snubs. I personally would have taken Pierce over one of Paul George or Deng, but that's pretty close. Really glad the coaches actually realize what Chandler brings and didn't pick Lopez, Horford, or Hibbert or someone instead of him. About time he got voted in, it's two years overdue, as he deserved it in Dallas. I call Curry the biggest snub.

Post #1353 » by **fatlever** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:43 am

curry is definitely biggest snub. many more deserving all-stars in west compared to east. deng and chandler dont sniff the team in the west. neither do pierce, lopez, horford, smith, johnson and jennings.

Post #1354 » by **fatlever** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:46 am

if that picked all-stars without conference consideration i think it would have been 14-10 west.

in fact, i'd love to see that happen. media, writers, coaches vote to pick the 24 best players, top coach from east and west elected coaches and they pick the teams. fans pick the starting lineups of each team.

If Kyrie Irving was good enough to snub Deron Williams than I see no reason why Steph Curry wasn't good enough to snub Tony Parker.

It's a shame that Josh Smith has never made a All-Star team but two up and coming players like Jrue Holiday and Kyrie Irving can make their 1st All-Star appearances while being the floor general of their respective losing teams.

Probst · Post #1357 » by **Probst** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:59 am

Tony Parker is shooting 52%, has similar points/assists numbers and is on a team with the best record in the league. If anyone was to make way for Curry it would need to be Z-Bo or LMA

Lopez should have made it. Yes the East is weak but Brooklyn is the 3rd best team and should have some representation

Josh definitely deserved it at least a couple times over the last few years. This year, I can't argue for him. He simply hasn't been that great this year. Deng definitely didn't deserve it last year.

Walker would have made it over Williams this year. Hes been terrible.

I think there is some sort of rule that guards from GSW aren't allowed. Monta Ellis should've made it at least once before b/c Monta Ellis have it all.
