what do you guys think?

Lowry
wall

Irving
butler
wade
teague
Korver
kemba
knight

I think you can only choose 3 of the second list... might be 4 I don't remember. if it's 4 I think he may have a shot.

Kemba isn't making the all-star team unless he have another month like December/January combined on top of is going on a winning streak that put us over .500 by the time the coaches select. And even then it'll be a long shot.

By no Wade, you mean that he wasn't elected as a starter, because that would've been stupid. Wade will likely make it as a reserve, but Kemba's best chance to make it is if we continue to play well with Kemba putting the offense on his back. We aren't far away from .500 and we could be there before long. I think 2 of Horford/Millsap/Korver are going to be Atlanta's all-stars, leaving Teague off the team.

My prediction for the East is:
Gasol/LeBron/Melo/Wall/Lowry with this bench:
Horford/Korver/Wade/Butler/Kemba/Irving/[Drummond or Love or Millsap]

Eh. Very, very, very slim chance.

Unless he goes on another crazy tear and we win our next 5 games.

The fact that Giannis got more all star votes than Kemba with 55,014 is sad and pathetic on the hornets part

We've had a terrible season and Kemba has played poorly for like 2/3 of it. I love the guy, but he doesn't deserve all star votes.

I did my job and voted for Kemba about 3 times. He'll never make the ASG until we're a top 4 team in the East record wise. I was hoping that would be this year but Cliff's rotations screwed our whole first half of the season. Oh yeah and Lance has been a disaster.

Cliff's rotations weren't the reason Kemba shot like 30%.

Kemba's 35% shooting wasn't the reason why we loss so much either.

Ok. The point remains that he played poorly for like 2/3 of this season for a team with a bad record.

My point remains that Cliff's rotations put us in a hole.

Very true. This team as a whole was set up to fail early in the season. Those rotations made everyone look and play worse. Al, Kemba and Lance all suffered from bad rotation decisions.

So are you guys using that to support why Kemba does in fact deserve votes, or are you agreeing with me that he doesn't and then blaming Clifford?

No he doesn't but I also do not think it is far off. I do think if the team had been used right and Al had his minutes limited early while he tried to get in shape we might be talking about Kemba and Al both as possibilities. Al was wearing down and bogging down the team as the game went on. If we played Biz more early Al could have been fresh for more of the game and not so much would have fallen on Kemba late in games. I think both would have been helped if we had not put so many minutes on Al early. Now that he is playing less he looks to be showing more energy on both ends and is being quicker with the ball on offense.

Let's also not forget Cliff playing Maxiell over Biz. We blew plenty of leads with Maxiell being used like a mini cone.
