Suns are playing pretty well lately they have a good team. Ayton is averaging 17.9 points (53% shooting), 11.9 rebounds & 1.4 blocks.

Imagine if Lauri was giving us 19/9 like he has in the past...

Indy deserves someone to represent them out East and Brogdon has missed too many games over other guards out east. I understand Sabonis getting it. If Zach is pissed, it should be directed toward his FO and coach for not getting this team where it needs to be.

I hope Zach unleashes his aggression like Beal did tonight and goes for 38-9-9 tomorrow

Ingram got in and his team is not good.

he may not have deserved it either, but he's probably played a bit better than zach

It’s early but MPJ is looking like we hoped Lauri would. Quick, fluid, constantly moving, and shooting. MPJ can get how own shot too

I feel bad for Zach, but I can't disagree with the decision if I'm being honest.

Ingram has been really good. He deserves it.

Devin Booker should have made it over Westbrook.

The West reserves are kinda strange to me (Westbrook and Ingram) but East is fair.
All the players selected have been better than Zach on better teams.

The next time the Bulls have a good team, we'll be arguing against high scorers on bad teams. It's why Luol Deng and Joakim Noah got in that one year.

I just don't see who you're supposed to remove from the East reserves to put LaVine in.

Exactly.

Not only that, but Beal is standing in line ahead of him.

And then the response is probably "the Bulls have a better record than the Wizards."

So it all comes full circle. Even though it's not completely the responsibility of the player in question, team record matters. That's why Lowry got in.

Unless you're Trae Young, who not only is on a terrible team but has a worse real +/- score (although slightly higher than Zach's) than two non All Stars from the East on excellent teams, Brodgon and Bledsoe. Well, it's the All Star game. Logic only goes so far.

Wow horrible year to have all-star weekend in chicago after 32 years of not hosting it. Zero representation.

especially since fans/players/the FO and even the local media all had high expectations just 4 months ago. I think Derrick is going to be in the skills contest so thats something i suppose lol.

Yeah Derrick is doing the skills comp.

Coby better be the injury replacement for WCJ. For 4 different reasons.

Need word in Zion and the dunk contest. He said no but that was back in June.

Wendell got replaced with Zion.

I dont know about anyone else, but it is utter disrespect to have the allstar game in a top 3 market of the league and the league refusing to place players from that said team in any events.

Zach didnt make the allstar team.
Wendell is hurt and wont be the Rising stars game.
Coby certainly could have made it in Wendell's place but the league wants Zion. I agree but not in Wendells place.

This just sucks all around. It almost feels like the league is punishing the Bulls.

The league and almost everyone hates the Bulls organization. Reinsdorf, GarPax, and Boylen have to be one of the most unlikable group of guys there have ever been. I honestly don’t believe the Bulls are deserving of having any representation in the All Star Game with the exception of LaVine in the 3 point contest or slam dunk contest. I can also see Coby making the Rising Skills Challenge but that is about it.
