Kemba's Road to the All-Star Game

I dunno about Lowry but Wall and Thomas seem like clear favorites over Kemba to me unfortunately. I think Wall's APG will get him the nod over Kemba.

Derrick rose will probably be fan voted in too.

Can't see him making it. He's cooled off, others have heated up, and we just aren't good enough as a team

Still has a shot as long as we keep winning and are in the top 4 of the East when the coaches pick. Not to mention there always seem to be at least one injury replacement. If we start losing he'll get snubbed for sure

@nbastats
Kemba Walker has 88 made 3-pointers this season, which ranks second in the Eastern Conference.

Still feels like bizarro world.

not going to be easy, folks... the eastern guards are crazy now... Kyrie, Wall, Lowry, IT are all balling great

Imagine if Bats made it.........but Kemba didn't.

Would here be a board melt down?

Is Bats listed as a F on the all star ballot? I know he's a SG on our depth chart. There's no way he goes over Kemba if he's listed as a G on the ballot but if he's a F that would be what's up. Shouldn't be a meltdown on the board.

Pretty sure Batum is listed as a backcourt player on the ballot.

Yea Batum is listed as a G.

Hornets still 4th in the east and walkers TS% is inching up, I could easily see him going on a tear scoring and inching his averages up to 25 ppg and 60 TS% which is just crazy.

Gonna come down to the wire between Kemba and Wall. I think Lowry and kyrie are locks because of their teams records and IT just about locked up his spot in the ASG after that 52 points and making EC player of the week.

Kemba definitely need a string of amazing games over the next 2-3 weeks to solidify his spot. 34 points last night is a start.

I agree with this, though I think standings have a bigger impact in the IT vs. Kemba race. If we leapfrog BOS in the standings and Kemba and IT play at the same level, I think Kemba makes it.

I think Kemba gets the nod if WAS can't get to .500 and we stay top 4.

**** it all.

Kyrie doubling up second place Wade. Fortunately Butler is considered in the frontcourt. Best case may be DeRozan overtaking Wade, but the later still probably gets in without the vote.

But the kicker: Kemba is ninth, Jeremy Lin eighth. Charlotte is never gonna have an all-star starter as long as there's a fan vote.

Side note: Westbrook is on pace to average a triple double and be an all-star backup.

We got Eddie Jones as an ASG starter back in 2000. Probably all the Laker fans throwing him a vote since he was a familiar face, but you're right Blackout it's an uphill climb for any of our guys to be an ASG starter. He'd have to be absolutely transcendent, or get votes for secondary reasons (former member of a popular team, China votes)

nba fan voting is a frigging joke.

Well there goes that

Post #39 » by **fatlever** » Thu Jan 5, 2017 9:48 pm

We really need to root for Derozan to pass Wade. Wade getting in really hurts Kemba's chances.

Ridiculous.
