NBA has to send 4 Cavs to All-Star

Saints14 · Post #41 » by **Saints14** » Fri Jan 10, 2025 1:32 am

All 4 should make it but none of them should start. Allen is the most logical to leave off but with Embiid missing time and Bam not playing as well he's clearly the 2nd most deserving center in the East behind Towns

I’ve said it before, the Celtics are “stacked” until people talk about them individually, then they’re all garbage.

Please don't feed the troll.

Siakam has been better than Haliburton IMO for Indiana. If anyone should be given consideration from the Pacers, it should be him.

What does this mean? You thought Caris LeVert played overseas?

Yeah, he wasn't good when I saw him play last season.

All I know is they better not put Bam Adebayo on the team over Allen

Tatum is best player in series but is it crazy to think the Cavs have next 4 best players?

It's Tatum, Mitchell, Brown, Garland, Mobley, White, Porzingis, Allen in that order to me. All All-Star quality too.

With both Magic Forwards missing around 50 games or more total between them, I'm okay with the Cavs getting 3. I think them getting 4 would be somewhat tough because I could see Mobley being the second lock behind Mitchell due to all of the injuries to frontcourt players in the East, but the backcourt in the East has some great players that have been playing well this season.

Cade, LaMelo (I wouldn't pick him personally, but I think fans and coaches might), Lillard, Brunson, Herro have all played well and also deserve a spot just as much as Garland does.

I think Allen is getting pretty close to a lock again due to the two injured Magic stars, Adebayo struggling, Butler injures/not trying, the Embiid injuries. I think Allen's biggest competition for an All-Star spot are Jalen Johnson and Pascal Siakam.

We'll see though, if ever there was a case for 4 All-Stars on 1 team, this would be it.

For the AS game they should just do Cavs+Giannis vs
Thunder+Jokic.

Didn't the Pistons have 4 allstars? Why not.

Mitchell is more efficient offensively than Brown and what else? Brown absolutely dominates him defensively. If Damian Lillard and Herb Jones had similar impact on offense, would you say Dame was a better player? That's what we're talking about here. Mitchell > Brown isn't even box score casual.

Haha I'm not opposed to the Cavs getting 4 all-stars but a year ago the Celtics had a million game lead in the standings, and a historic net rating, and multiple all-star caliber players, and absolutely no one on this board would entertain posts from Celtics fans saying they should get more than 2. And they got 2. So yeah.

I love Jrue Holiday, and I know he's great defensively, but he averaged 12/5/5 last year. Allen is averaging 14/10 with elite level offensive efficiency and also great defense. I'd personally have him off my All-Star team but the other three should make it I'd think.

KAT/Mobley
Giannis
Tatum/Brown
Mitchell/Cunningham
Brunson/Lillard/Garland/Young

Last spot probably doesn't go to another guard so Allen might actually have a change. Jalen Johnson deserves mention. If Scottie Barnes stays healthy he should also be considered.

Who would be getting left out? Dame? Herro? Maxey?

Love Jaylen obviously but hes had an inconsistent season. Theres actually been convos at least for our fanbase whether it should be White over him even tho its unlikely to happen

Well that team won a title. The Hawks are a much better example to point to, but the East was especially trash that year.

Pistons, Celtics, Hawks, and Warriors all did... Pretty recently too.

Allen is only averaging 29 minutes a game because he’s usually missing his last shift in blowouts. Per-36 he is averaging 18/13. Johnson and Barnes both play close to 36 a night.

Allen is leading the league in TS% and second behind Towns in TS Add.

Though they’re currently on pace for 73 wins, I would take the Bucks to wax them in round 2.

Ehhhh, Cavs have beat them 3 times this season so even if the Cavs lost a 7 game series, i assume it would be close.

LeBronSpaghetti · Post #60 » by **LeBronSpaghetti** » Fri Jan 10, 2025 2:27 pm

Didn’t the 05 Pistons entire starting 5 go to the all star game or am I misremembering?

Edit: I looked it up, the had 4. Tayshaun Prince didn’t make it.
