G Damian Lillard, F LaMarcus Aldridge selected as All-Star reserves!

[illmatic99]

Injuries to Russell and CP most likely played a role but I'm still taking this. Broy made it his second year too!

not surprising

I agree with the decision. You can't put a 13ppg player on the all star team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Paul, Parker, Paul, Lillard, Harden, Aldridge, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard is 8. Maybe HARDEN didn't make it??

eh? Westbrook missing.

no chance Harden is left off. you have Paul twice and he might not even make it once : )

 

[BBert]

It matters a lot.

Getting that All-Star nod means a lot in terms of how the refs treat you, and how the media markets you. It's very important.

It is.

OTOH: He's in the rookie/soph game and the all star game. So much for getting the rest us armchair doctors/coaches think he needs. Is he in the skills thing again too?

 

[KingSpeed]

How fucking cool will it be if Lillard STARTS? I don't always watch the game but this year I definitely will!

 

[KingSpeed]

It is.

Yes

 

[crowTrobot]

westbrook never had a chance. out of sight out of mind.

Learn the game then post.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh Well then there you go

Paul, Parker, Lillard, Harden, Aldridge. Davis, and Howard. That nails it, right?

 

[Strenuus]

It is.

I would think so. He won it last year, IIRC.

Post #6000.

That's up to the AS coach, and I think even Stotts would name Harden to start instead of Lillard, just based on seniority.

 

[crowTrobot]

Paul, Parker, Lillard, Harden, Aldridge. Davis, and Howard. That nails it, right?

probably not. Dirk has great chance. Cousins could also supplant AD.

 

[crowTrobot]

I agree with the decision. You can't put a 13ppg player on the all star team.

Noah is in at 11.7, Hibbert 11.8



It's more that Hibbert probably split a lot of Stevenson's votes with the coaches.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard's trade value just went up!

 

[Strenuus]

Lillard's trade value just went up!

Lillard for Carmelo straight up.

Get it done Olshey!

 

[KingSpeed]

Dirk or Cousins aren't beating out Davis, I don't think.

 

[PapaG]

Hard to pull three All-Stars, even if you're in the east.

Not if you play for the Heat or Lakers...

 

[PapaG]

no chance Harden is left off. you have Paul twice and he might not even make it once : )

Well, Paul is a hell of a player. Still, him taking 2 spots would probably be overkill.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pistons had 4 All Stars once. All of their starters except Prince. Lakers once had Van Exel, Kobe, Eddie Jones, and Shaq.

this one was iffy, but I like it. very good player who would have no chance in the west, gets traded to the east and BOOM.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Greeeat! Just when the team needs a rest. Seems like everything is going wrong at once.

 

[KingSpeed]

All four TNT guys picked Lillard. Sweet.

 

[PapaG]

Parker/Lillard/Paul/Harden all made it.

It's a back court league...

 

[crowTrobot]

coaches did select 4 guards for the first time ever. guess that means the commish WILL be replacing Kobe with a AD or Cousins.

 

[KingSpeed]

No Anthony Davis. Wow. I picked the other 6 though.

 

[PapaG]

Good on Dirk for making it.

Who replaces Bryant? Cousins or Davis?
