My sentiments exactly.

Honestly, I thought both him and Love were snubbed.

I hate to say this, but Duncan probably shouldn't have been on there this year, but I think they're giving him his farewell tour, cause even if he plays 3 or 4 more seasons, I don't think he'll be an All Star again in his career.

Yes Love is on a terrible team and yes to an extent he stat pads, but he epically stat pads, his numbers are just absurd.

LaMarcus still has a bigger impact on the game though and I don't think it's arguable.



I usually hate to establish team record as the primary reason for MVP, All Star selection etc.. but Tim Duncan is the best player on the team with the Best record in the NBA while Love is the best player for the 2nd worst basketball team.. No way you reward Kevin love over Tim Duncan in this case.

Aldridge deserved it more... A LOT more.. I would even give it to Nash before Love.. but whatever..

I'm not just saying this because he's been a beast for my fantasy team but... Manu has hands down been the most important player on the Spurs this year. It's not even close really. If you want to rank Duncan he's been a distant third best on the Spurs this year.

Also you'd have to count on TWO hands the amount of games the Spurs won solely because of Manu coming up huge in crunch time. He's been that great this year.

Was just gonna post something like this before I hit refresh...

Sums it up perfectly and I'm a big Duncan fan.

Oh man this thread is straight Lulz!

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1089338

Sometimes I try standing up for Portland fans, but this **** is just disgusting.

I mean I'm huge LMA fan, but a straight majority of them are saying they wouldn't trade him for guys like Derrick Rose.

There's one dude in there keeping it real, the rest of them are just super troll homers and I'm talking their veteran posters in that thread.

I knew it though, one stretch of LMA playing out of his mind and their fans won't trade him for anything short of Lebron or Dwight. :lol:

That thread is endless roflcopter. :rofl2:

Oh man and the hits keep coming.

There's now a random Knix poster who's name will not be mentioned, touting a Felton and Gallo for Steph Curry trade as a realistic idea as a follow up to a Melo deal and a gaggle of posters saying they wouldn't do it and how it's an overpay and how they would be better with Felton and Gallo, some saying that Gallo is just flatout better then Curry! :rofl:

Would you trade Steve Nash 2.0 and Larry Nowitzki for Steph Curry?

Didn't think so.

I can not understand the Timofey Mozgov love... He's a hybrid of Johan Petro and Jason Collins. As I've said from day 1... Dude flat out sucks.

Lol, ND...

They now have a front page story where they give all credit to Bobby Marks for the Marcus Williams for a GSW pick trade and the follow up trade that removed further protection, with not a mention of Rod Thorn.

It's like the Nets version of the RealGM wiretap over there sometimes.

Sloan's leaving Utah. Anyone else as shocked as I am?

Very much so. I can't believe the Jazz owner would favor a player over Sloan.

Still can't wrap my head around Jerry Sloan leaving, or how he never won a coach of the year award :-/...

Just goes to show you what BS the majority of awards are.
