Everything All Star Voting

[KeonClark]

Still hoping Kyle doesn't make it. He should have those extra days off. But he might.

So the reserves are 3 Bigs, 2 Guards, and 2 other.

I have:

Zinger, Horford and Love as the 3 Bigs
Oladipo, Dragic as the 2 Guards

Others: Kyle & Drummond

But that would mean Washington has nobody. Maybe Beal over Drummond? But if Cleveland and Boston get two guys representing them, I'm sure coaches would want 2 from Toronto as well.

Beal or wall will Make it over kyle. I'd be shocked if kyle made it

[The Great One]

Porzingis, Horford, Love.

Oladipo, Beal.

Drummond, Lowry.

[Nilanka]

I'm indifferent on Lowry making it. If he doesn't, hopefully forces him to get some rest. If he does, maybe being around the world's elite sets his head straight to get him out of his (mental) funk.

Anyone catch DeMar's reaction of becoming an all-star starter? Very Kobe-esque.

Last year when he was in that 3pt contest with that wrist injury really bothered me. Would be best for the team if he sat this one out. Plus it helps us tax wise. If he makes the team he's owed $200K as a bonus and that comes out of the Raps salary cap.

Lowry needs the rest, I doubt he's too attached to going.

Did I hear correctly that Ginobili got more fan votes than Harden?

Just enough for a 3D playoff tshirt giveaway!

That said, I agree with Jack - winning should count for a lot. There's a clear top 3 teams in the East and they should each get 2 allstars.

[Abbas]

Who should make it from both sides as a Reserve?

I got:

West:
G: Westbrook
G: Paul George
F: Jimmy Butler
F: LaMarcus Aldridge
F: Karl Anthony Towns
+Lillard
+Draymond

Injury Replacement
- Jokic

East:
G: Lowry
G: Oladipo
F: Whiteside
F: Andre Drummond
F: Horford
+Kevin Love
+Bradley Beal

Injury Replacement
- John Wall


Note how I do not have Porzingis on my list.... please for those who do, explain to me how he is more worthy than those 7 athletes mentioned above.

I mean, Whiteside has missed like 20 games and he's only playing 26 minutes a night when he's healthy. I'd 100% have Porzingis ahead of him

He's sitting there like "Well, obviously."

Agreed, Whiteside doesn't deserve a spot. None of the Heat players do as there are players who deserve the spot much more.

I would rather Put Wall over him then, if not Whiteside

His team is what, like 21-24 and he's shooting 43% FG and grabbing less than 7 rebounds a game as a 7 footer (7'3

I dont see the HyPe

The same Lowry that didn't disclose he had a wrist injury and yet went to the All-Star Game to aggravate the injury?! Pff yeah right Lowry would love to go.

Good piece from Lowe of course, a couple of points on DeRozan and Lowry: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...rters-reserves
