who are your all-stars at this point in the season?

[BigSlam]

Duncan, as much as I love the guy, has to miss out this year.

Time for a changing of the guard. No way he should be in the All Star game over guys like Love or Girffin this year IMO.

Tim will make it as a Center. So will Pau. That opens two spots for two of Dirk/Blake/Love/LMa

[BigSlam]

Dirk has missed too much time. He should sit out as well.

[hotrod]

Duncan should not make it for sure. I hate when they give these guys life time achievement spots on the team. Love and Griffin better both be all-stars. They are both putting up huge #'s and are deserving. I also hate the agrument " he plays on a losing team so he does not deserve it". BS! These guys on losing teams are putting up huge #'s despite being the focus of the other teams defense.

dirk only missed like 10 games. he's played in 33 so far. he definitely still deserves to go, especially considering he was playing near MVP level before he was hurt.

here is my up-to-date west if i could pick starters and reserves... and be able to alter positions a tad from the way they are set up on ballot

starters
g: deron williams
g: kobe bryant
f: kevin durant
f: dirk nowitzki
c: pao gasol
reserves
g: chris paul
g: manu ginobili
f: carmelo anthony
f: blake griffin
c: kevin love
res: russell westbrook
res: monta ellis

Me too - drives me nuts. Same as when people use "player X shouldn't be a rookie of the year consideration because he is on a losing team" it drives me NUTS!!

Players on winning teams have the playoffs. That's what they are for. A teams record should bare no influence on individual awards.

If we stick around the 7th spot, do you think will we have an All-Star?

Not really. Crash is our only viable option and he's not having an all-star season. Jax is too hated from the brawl back in the day. DJ isn't even on the ballot and it's loaded with guards anyway. Nazr is old, not very popular, not very skilled.

[BigSlam]

If we stick around the 7th spot, do you think will we have an All-Star?

Doubt it. Jax and Crash are probably our best bets and they have both under achieved so far this season.

has felton played himself out of an all-star spot the past 15 games?

here are his stats

6 wins, 9 losses

15.7ppg
4.2rpg
8.6apg
2.8tpg
37%fg

those are not good numbers

The assist totals look good until you remember that he's doing PnR with Stoudamire for most of them. They should be a little higher. All in all, adjusted for pace Augustin has better stats.

i should rephrase this.... those are not all-star numbers. still good (minus the fg% and turnovers and crappy record)

There is such a "what have you done for me lately" mentality about these things. Felton was a little shaky at the start of the season but had a really strong Nov and most of Dec. Sure, he's reverting back to how he has always been now, but if you look at his entire body of work for the whole season so far he's been pretty good.

Still, guys like Rose and Rondo etc are obviously better. Heck, if you are looknig at numbers alone, the numbers Devin Harris is putting up this season pretty much match Raymonds stat for stat. Should he be a consideration to be an All Star?
