Lillard snubbed again?

[Natebishop3]

Unless this is coming from Woj....

 

[illmatic99]

I don't want that injury replacement. Get the guy some rest. Take a vacay to Hawaii, Dame.

 

[Natebishop3]

I know some people disagree, but picking All-Stars based on wins is absurd. It's an event of star players around the league to entertain the fans. It's not a reward for Joe Blow role-player from one of the best teams in the league. In what other league do they do this?

I don't have any complaints about Curry/Klay/Draymond. Those three players are exceptional. They are stars. There's a reason why that team is so good and it's because those three are among the very best at their positions.

Aldridge, currently, is not among the best in the league at his position.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Wow, Dame is a top 10 player in the west easily. Fuck the coaches.

Most of all fuck the fans.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow, Dame is a top 10 player in the west easily. Fuck the coaches.

At the end of the year I'll be surprised if he's not 2nd team All-NBA.

 

[Tunchi]

Damn they double team Dame like crazy and game plan their whole defense around him like no another but they dont respect him enough for carrying a team to the playoffs right now?? When they were projected to be in the bottom 5..

And he still scores 25 per game.

 

[BlazerBeav]

One is 6th in the league in scoring. The other is 46th. Good decision.

 

[KingSpeed]

Not only should Lillard be in over Aldridge, he should be in over Anthony Davis too.

 

[KingSpeed]

One is 6th in the league in scoring. The other is 46th. Good decision.

And 7th in assists. Only other player in top 7 of both is Westbrook.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

At the end of the year I'll be surprised if he's not 2nd team All-NBA.

Should be something like:

1st

Curry
Westbrook
Kawhi
LeBron
Cousins

2nd

Lillard
Harden
George
Durant
Drummond

3rd

Paul
Klay
Butler
Davis
Whiteside

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now we know why he really closed his twitter .The hate he'd get from Portland would have his mentally fragile ass crying

Yeeah. And the fact that he's in the All-Star game would be no consolation, because what REALLY matters is what us neckbeards think of him.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

CP3 is still better (both practically and statistically) than Dame.

 

[Natebishop3]

Here is the top 10 in the league in scoring (if the lists are right - here are the All-Stars)

1. Curry - All-Star
2. Harden - All-Star
3. Cousins - All-Star
4. Kevin Durant - All-Star
5. LeBron - All-Star
6. Lillard - SNUBBED
7. Westbrook - All-Star
8. PG13 - All-Star
9. DeRozan - All-Star
10. Davis - All-Star

Okay how about top 20?

11. Butler - All-Star
12. Isaiah Thomas - All-Star
13. Carmelo - All-Star
14. Lowry - All-Star
15. Klay - All-Star
16. Wiggins - No
17. CJ - No
18. Kemba - No
19. Hayward - No
20. Kawhi - All-Star

So out of the top 15 scorers in the league, Dame is THE ONLY NON ALL-STAR PLAYER.

Portland gets no love

I'm stealing this btw... for another board.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

i tweeted that out.

 

[chzbrgr]

FUCK THIS BULLSHIT what does the man have to do! I dont understand what makes an allstar

Apparently average stats on a good team. Oh and your coach coaching the team.

 

[Tunchi]

What shocks me is Anthony Davis makes it when his team took a huge step back this year and his stats are less than Dame's. Lets not even mention Dame's team was projected to be a bottom 5 team..

 

[Pinwheel1]

On the bright side Toronto in February can suck. I used to cover it for work. I love the city, just not in the winter. Dame you get a full week off. Go somewhere warm!

 

[illmatic99]

First time anyone averaging 24 pts, 6 asts + has missed the team.

Fuck Aldridge. Fuck the coaches.

 

[PDXFonz]

Man I thought Aldridge was boring in the AS game as a Blazer. I wonder how boring he's going to seem as a Spur...

 

[Tunchi]

LMA getting in is what pisses me off from all this. If he hadn't made it I don't think I would have cares as much.


LMA wasnt even picked by almost every media person, he was not selected to their reserves. Yeah, he’s on the 2nd best team and he hasn’t played poorly, but I personally don’t think that he has integrated into that team as well as everyone expected (i.e. he appears to be a slow learner of their system). So how can he be playing at an All-Star level? Spurs were absolutely fine without LMA, given that and his huge drop off in stats. I understand they are the 2nd best team without him, so it is hard to say for sure that his reduced stats are actually contributing to better success for the team.


I think coaches are simply rewarding his small financial sacrifice and his stats sacrifice. And that’s just not fair to Dame’s production and helping this team exceed expectations

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Happy 10-day vacation and rest, Damian!!! It's good news.

 

[Natebishop3]

Does anyone think the coaches are punishing Dame for pouting last year?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Does anyone think the coaches are punishing Dame for pouting last year?

I just think they are lazy. If Blake Griffin was not injured I am guessing LMA would not be on the team. I think they looked around for a big and LMA has been there the past few years and they simply voted for him again.

 

[BBert]

Aldridge, currently, is not among the best in the league at his position.

Moreover, he is not a "star" by any definition I've ever seen. Fans don't buy tickets to see LaMarCooch Aldrich.

 

[BBert]

Wow, Dame is a top 10 player in the west easily. Fuck the coaches.

Most of all fuck the fans.

We all know fans are idiots.

Isn't that why the coaches are given a chance to fix it?

 

[Rhal]

Let Dame get a nice vacation come back with a giant chip on his shoulder and destroy everyone he plays from here on out.

 

[BigGameDamian]

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

Of course Blazers fans will argue Aldridge over Lillard. Who would expect anything less?
