All-Star Day, March 7th, TNT -- (Embiid and Simmons Out - COVID Protocol)

[Floody100]

Semi better be the first person you think of too ...

[Taget]

I tried to be as objective as possible.

East.

Frontcourt: Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, Tacko Fall
Backcourt: Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker

West

Frontcourt: Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Jokic, Al Horford
Backcourt: Damian Lillard, Luka Doncic

Was disappointed by the lack of notable ex-Celtics in the West to vote for.
Hope we can get Tacko in as the first two-way player to ever make an all-star team.

Only the J’s deserved to be all stars from our team this season.

I tried to make homer votes yesterday and was annoyed because I had to choose between Kemba and Smart. JB is a guard and you can only choose one more.

I chose Smart. Kemba hasn't been playing enough.

I tried to be a little bit pragmatic. Went with Kemba over Smart because I figured he was more likely to get votes by non-Celtic fans. Also went with Fall for the same reason. More likely to get votes than say Grant Williams or something.

[captain green]

Tacko fall time how many do you think he will get this year ?

[Bleeding Green]

Who is coaching? Hopefully they play Embiid, Durant, Irving, Harden 48 minutes each.

Only two ways to vote this year. You have to give your name and email address to NBA.com, or vote via twitter. That's BS. I won't be voting.

You have to provide "some" type of identity. That avoids people voting more than once/day, on the same venue.
I work in computers, and I can tell you, that this is necessary. Otherwise, a computer could put in a million votes, a day.

They're only asking for your first name, and an email.

But all previous years as long as you were signed into google or gmail, you just went right to the voting and voted. Eliminating users with google accounts is the issue I have. This seems like a ploy to get more users sign up to nba.com or twitter. 98% of sites now allow you to log in with google. Seems like an odd thing to drop.

(I got this off a Google Query. No site.)

The way the head coaches are determined is via a best-record scenario, meaning coaches whose teams are first in their respective conferences two weeks before the All-Star Game earn the nod (a coach can't participate for two years in a row, however).

Ahhh. I see what you're saying.

Google (who owns Gmail) hosted the voting, last year.
AT&T is doing it this year. -- That's probably why there's no Gmail option.

You can give a fake email, they don’t check it

First round of results have been released. Our Jays are doing well but lagging slightly behind where they need to be to be starters.

Looks like they'll both get in, as Reserves.

[LondonCeltics]

As has often been the case in recent years the fan votes continue to just be a popularity contest and not a true reflection of merit. Carmelo and Thompson making it into the top 10 FFS...

I wish the league would change the splits to 25% between fans, players, coaches and media.
