Lillard snubbed again?

[Cippy91]

Not sure if this is legit or not but dudes verified so I guess we will see

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Only one you could argue is Aldridge over Lillard (Maybe Thompson I suppose). Lillard will love hearing that though!

 

[Strenuus]

who the hell is Carron Phillips?

 

[blazedanugz]

thats bullshit aldridge made it. i honestly think dame deserves it over him...and who the hell is carron phillips?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I bet someone has to sit out again this year. Maybe Dame declines an invite this time if that happens?

 

[crowTrobot]

That's what most are predicting so likely to be true even if it's not inside info. Also not really a snub this year as Klay and LMA are on historically good teams.

Lillard does have a shot though since AD keeps getting hurt.

 

[Cippy91]

I don't know who he is exactly. Not trying to assume anything but this may or may not be the real list. He's verified so I don't know why he would risk that with whatever career he's into. I guess we will see.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Lillard is a better player than Thompson, period. You put Klay on Portland (without Dame) and we're not sniffing the 8th seed right now.

Aldridge is a product of the Spurs system who has performed poorly in the biggest games this season.

Harden probably puts up better stats, but his team is underachieving immensely.

AD is a monster, no question. But the Pels are one of the worst teams in the entire NBA.

Let's hope this list is inaccurate.

Sure, seems legit...

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I bet the list is accurate (not that I want it to be).

Klay Thompson deserves it IMO. It's the Kobe vote that screwed one of the guards over.

except for the fact that hes a forward this year

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge over Lillard makes no sense. Everything else is right.

I'd be pretty surprised if he did that.

But if kobe didn't make it, another forward would have started, leaving one open wildcard spot.

Not his fault, but this makes me feel even more bitterness towards la.

It makes sense in terms of rewarding what is one of the best defensive teams of all time with a second All-Star. Otherwise yeah.

Actually no it wouldn't have because Zaza would have been voted in

 

[theprunetang]

I knew he got a bunch of stupid votes, but did he really finish second?

 

[riverman]

They were going to give 2 Spurs the nod because of the record. I think Dame being left out is a blessing in disguise..Aldridge has Blake Griffin to thank for his slot

 

[crowTrobot]

I knew he got a bunch of stupid bores, but did he really finish second?

Zaza finished 4th in fan voting for the 3 frontcourt spots. Draymond was 5th.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

They should be changing the All-Star game to 13 players anyways now that the NBA allows that many active per team for a nba game. Or leave it 12 legit players and have 1 kobe pick per year extra (next year duncan, year after dirk, etc.)

Zaza finished 4th in fan voting for the 3 frontcourt spots. Draymond was 5th.

Got ya. People are strange. What was the reason for the bizarre Zaza love? And who was responsible?

 

[theprunetang]

Because Zaza is even dumber than having shitty Bryant in the game.

Rasta and Europe

The guy actually had a pretty good season so far. Tied for 15th in double doubles. Now that isn't all-star starter material but in some years that might be replacement player good. Kind of speaks to the lack of great bigs (although that isn't as big of an excuse now that they got rid of the Center position in voting).

 

[e_blazer]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is the list for the reserves that gets announce at 4:00 pm, PST. If Lillard doesn't get in, at least I don't have to waste 2.5 hours of a Sunday watching a no-defense, Kobe suck-up, mess of a game and being annoyed when Dame only gets 10 minutes of PT.

Yeah it must have been since I doubt it was the Dallas fans. Otherwise we would have seen more votes for Dirk as well.

Not sure when 10ppg and 10rpg became replacement level. I doubt that even touches "former allstar" Jamal Magloire level.

So the fact that none of the main stream guys are tweeting anything yet tells me that this is not "Breaking News" in that some dude in Delaware likely doesn't have more info.
