Should have been on first team ahead of Beasley at least.

Beasley ahead of Love, much less Gordon is a joke. Chalmers even near Love is an even worse joke. This is just more proof that nobody pays attention to the period between the All Star Game and playoffs.

Thank God Oden isn't on either team.

Screwed again. Should have been on the 1st team. I can see Love body slamming Beasley next year.

Does not surprise me.

I really hope we manage to turn things around this offseason - get Rubio, solid vets, start winning and people start recognizing the Wolves again. :thumbsup:

WHO cares about Eric Gordon? SO overrated that guy. Next Ricky Davis :crazy:

There is just no way you can pick Gordon over Love

I agree, he benefitted from everybody on his team being injured, making him the instant #1 option...and what happens to a scorer when he is given the green light? Well, he scores.

I can't wait for a Love interview where he says he got screwed in the rookie team voting.

Love is going to be really mad now which may be a good thing for next season

the better he plays next year, the more he can make the voters results look like a travesty

Love got robbed. No way EG should have finished ahead of him, and I think the only reason why Beasley even made the first team was because he was the second pick in the draft.

Whoever was the guy who said Love being snubbed and robbed would only get him more exposure was definitely right.

People are talking about him, feeling for him, criticizing him, etc.

Love i a guy people are going to keep their eyes on now, especially to see what he will say in other interviews.

Would make sense except the shooting guard and the power forward had the same FG%.

raise your hand if your surprised

If Love was on media friendly team or playing with a popular superstar, he would have been first team.

At least he made a team I thought they would leave off the teams all together.

Yeah Oden with a first place vote?! WTF did they send a ballot to the whistle manufacturers union?

I think Beasley just got more votes because he's on a playoff team, and the Heat had a massive turnaround this season.

Madsen won a ring, I don't see him getting any first team votes. I don't see how having better teammates makes you a more valuable player.
