2019 West All Stars

[illmatic99]

I didn't realize Capela put up 17/13. Wonder what that would be without Harden.

If fans want to see Rose in the ASG then let fans see Rose in the ASG. The ASG is suppose to be for us.

I hate it though, players get incentives and paid for being allstars the popularity contest of the fans being idiots shouldnt keep a guy from getting paid. It also goes on their resume when considered for the HoF and other honors. I just dont think the fans should get to determine that stuff when they’re obviously NOT paying attention.

Take it one step further. You think Dame wouldn't be voted in if he weren't playing in a market like LA, or BOS, or NY? Lonzo Ball? Are you kidding me? That guy is barely a rotation player and he has nearly as many votes as Dame.

Dame has better numbers across the board than Kyrie, but Kyrie has nearly 5x as many votes. We are lucky Dame is comfortable in his current setup. AS voting only propagates the divide between large and small markets.

My current guess (starters in bold):
Backcourt:

Curry
Harden
Westbrook
Lillard
Derozan​

Frontcourt:

Lebron
Durant
Davis
Jokic
George​

I'd lean Harris for the 11th spot.

12th spot completely up in the air. Booker, Aldridge, Towns, Gobert, Conley, Capela, Klay and probably others all have an argument,

This is dead on accurate, I think.

Guess the only thing that interests me about all star games right now is the fact that Portland is building a bunch of Hotel/Motel space by the convention center and Moda. Maybe they will get a game some day?

 

[KingSpeed]

Starting to think Mitchell will get in and Westbrook won’t.

I drove a woman who is charge of pitching Portland for conventions. She said once we get the new Hyatt, we’ll get an All Star game.

you didn't finish the sentence. She went on to say "after LA has it again, and Vegas, and Phoenix, Seattle, LA again and Vegas again"

Your forgetting NO every other year.

I wouldnt care either way if the NBA All star game came to Portland.

 

[riverman]

He'll need to be on a powerhouse to get the recognition that he deserves, not hovering around .500.

most of the league is hovering around 500...we're 9 games over it...Lebron's team has a worse record, so does Aldridge's and quite a few people on the allstar list so far

 

[KingSpeed]

Winning is the main factor why it's always an uphill climb for Dame.

So confused about this comment. We were 3rd seed last year, 4th seed at the moment, 10 games over .500 going into our loss to OKC. We should win our next two games which puts us 11 games over .500.

Seriously? Records after the selection dont impact the selection because they happen afterwards. Weve always started slow and had a mediocre record at the time of selection.

That would be really cool. I know a bunch of work is being done and it is expected to open spring of next year. So lets hope.

Yep. He needs a deep playoff run and another good season then another deep playoff run. Then he will get some love. Not until. It would help to have another big name on the roster so TNT and ESPN aired a few more games.

But we aren’t hovering around .500 which was my point.

What does this year have to do with him getting snubbed a couple years ago...?

Westbrook will likely get in before Mitchell. His team is performing much better than Utah and they will likely get Gobert in before Mitchell. They haven't earned 2 spots on the team.

 

[hoopsjock]

All that talk about Rose and Doncic and neither got the nod as a starter.
