Getting all 5 starters into the starting lineup of the NBA All Star Game

[Charcoal Filtered]

It appears it's going to be tough to explain basic math to people but we have to make the effort, magnifier.

You sound like the guys that go on Shark Tank with the pitch "This is a billion dollar industry and even if we only get 1% of it, that makes us a million dollar company".

As Mark Cuban would say to this "For that reason, I am out."

 

[KingSpeed]

It's not happening. Give up the dream.

The number of people that would actually give up a couple seconds of their day to vote is extremely, extremely limited.

I disagree. We need to change people's attitudes. I'll be willing to do newspaper and TV interviews to explain this.

 

[KingSpeed]

Haha sooo pessimistic! So you are saying you won't vote everyday from December 15th yet you post in here everyday minute of every day?

Bingo

We'll get LA and Dame in. No more.

 

[KingSpeed]

We'll get LA and Dame in. No more.

Why not?

We'll get LA and Dame in. No more.

Even that would be a huge accomplishment. If they are voted in as starters, it would be the deserving and awesome!

Dec 15 h to Jan 19th by the way. Magnifier- we got a month to come up with a plan. People are so pessimistic. We have to figure out an easy way to explain this to people.

Why not?

Because those are the only two that deserve to be all-stars. Being an all-star should be an honor, no need to cheapen it with role players or be like the all-NBA defensive teams and put Kobe on the list...

Whoever gets voted in deserves to be an All Star.

I get the math.... I just don't like the principal of it.

No, they don't not at all, not remotely.

 

[KingSpeed]

So you don't want our guys to start?

 

[KingSpeed]

And it's "principle"

 

[Schilly]

So you don't want our guys to start?

I want them to deserve to start and earn the votes.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Guys like Kobe last year, Yao in '11, Iverson from '09-'10... totally deserved to be All-Stars.

 

[KingSpeed]

My mistake. Voting starts December 11th.

 

[Schilly]

Just because I root for a team doesn't mean I think that their starters are all deserving to start in the All Star Game. I like to think I am a little better educated in the game than that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Earn the votes of whom? Hardly anyone is voting.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Hey, I'm voting for all 5 of ours. Why not?

 

[KingSpeed]

Hey, I'm voting for all 5 of ours. Why not?

Thank you.

 

[magnifier661]

Fine then just vote for Dame and Aldridge. Deal?

We make it a lottery. Every Chinese person who votes for the Blazers on the all-star team gets entered into a drawing, with the winner getting to move his entire family to the USA to live with Mags.

As long as they are a sexy female massage therapist

 

[KingSpeed]

Not many people in China vote. Not many people vote at all.

Yes. I'm heavily into foot bondage.

 

[B-Roy]

Not many people in China vote. Not many people vote at all.

You just hit the nail on it's head of why this isn't happening.

100% Agree!

Do you see all 500,000 of Dame's twitter followers posting here everyday?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Instead of fans voting in the All Star Game fans should vote on the All Star festivity challenges such as: Dunk Contest, 3pt Shootout ect..

I take it you don't vote for government elections and props either?
