Would Pachulia actually make the All-Star game?

miltk · Post #122 » by **miltk** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 2:28 am

the allstar game is bs,,,no more so than this year's balloting.

i don't believe in the "it's for the fans" rhetoric. that is equally bs.
to begin with, the fan voting is weighted towards those fans who actually vote and want "their boy" in....THE OTHER FANS IN OTHER CITIES DON'T LIKE IT, and moreover, most fans don't care. if the voting was handed over to players and coaches, the fans wouldn't care - they'll go watch anyway.

i'll tell you who cares though, the fans who DO care, and they want to see the most deserved players.

Better record, better defender, and no, not discussing blocks as defense, can hit free throws, can hit the three,

Drummond basically just rebounds a lot more, and that's really it.

Yeah Milsap is having a really good season when you start diving into the advanced stats, my apologies

I will And1 this, as I made the same mistake yesterday, and secondly, because rarely do people ever admit they're wrong, and that takes way more applauding than sticking to ones guns.

I'm not sure if he is actually apologizing or f he is mocking advanced stats

Internet has ruined the voting. Obviously the NBA limits Chinese online votes or else Lin would start, but they must have forgot to eliminate IPs from the Republic of Georgia.

The death lineup is the future. The people have spoken.

I think it should be what it once was, guards and forwards, if they have 2 pg's on team and 2 pf's on the other, no big deal, they'll even out on the first substitution, probably.

There is no ballot. Every player in the league is eligible.

Zaza will get the start next year.. :-o

Post #131 » by **Froob** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 3:06 am

Hope IT makes it, I'd understand if he didn't because there's quite a few good guards (although don't be Irving thatd be stupid) , but I'm just saying if the guy was like 6ft I don't think there's much doubt he'd be in. He'd probably be making twice as much money too. Guy has some serious sick ass moves in the paint. One of the most skilled players in the league.

All Star is a joke. If anyone ever brings up all-star numbers or MVPs to describe a players achievements then I will laugh in their face.

That will be so badass when you do.

Jesus...do you guys also get angry over cartoons?

It's an exhibition game. Calm the f**** down.

So happy Kyrie is not starting. That means a space won't be wasted on someone who hasn't played enough. I don't think the coaches will vote him in so Wall, Butler, DeRozan, Jackson, IT etc have more chances.

I find it great that Kawhi got voted in and is actually looked up to. Many of the youth will understand how important defense is the more Kawhi is in the spotlight.

Prince12 · Post #138 » by **Prince12** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:01 am

No real issues with the starters. Melo is the one id drop, only got in off his name. The Kobe selection was fair enough he deserves one last start.

kawhi is the right choice ahead of green as good as he has been.

I, too, fantasize about scenarios which have no chance of becoming real.

What did Charles Barkley say about Bryant getting a starting position?
