LMA has made the all star team

[SlyPokerDog]

I know that I am smarter than any past or current GM or coach in the NBA and I think that LMA should be an all star.

Isiah Thomas would still be a better backup pg than Nolan Smith.

But Nolan Smith would pick a better All-Star team.

Not until he becomes a S2 member.

Ah.....I get a chuckle hearing Clyde trying to sound like he's a not a big idiot.

How dare you Sly! That was a personal attack against the wonderful people who frequent this board.

If Curry got pushed out by a PF, it was Lee, not Aldridge.

Yeah, I know, that was like five pages ago....

 

[julius]

wait, Nolan Smith frequents this board?

why? doesn't he have better things to do (like work on not turning the ball over..hehe....)?

I would hope a guy who is already making millions would care less about what we say or think about him.

Nolan is most likely paying the Blazers to keep him in the NBA at this point.

The negative comments are filtering in from ESPN...

All-Stars are two-way players? That's a riot. I don't think Carmelo has played a day of defense in his life.

I love the hit on LA's D when he has by far the best D of the three PF's not named Duncan.

I just couldn't stop laughing after the "all-stars are two way players" remark..... since when?

He's probably trying to learn something about basketball.

Yea, the "5 on 5" just felt like the beat writers, or whoever those guys were, were trying to come up with reasons why an all-star shouldn't have been on the team in favor of someone else.

 

[BBert]

Wow. I just read all those comments. (Thanks for the link.) Essentially, they think LaMarcus shouldn't be an all star because last year's LaMarcus is better than this year's LaMarcus. They are comparing LaMarcus to...LaMarcus instead of comparing him to his competition. Yeah, the other PFs in the west (Lee, Love, Griffin, Zach et al) are such stellar defenders...give me a break.

 

[Natebishop3]

If anything, the coaches owed him for the snub two years ago.

Clyde was just mad because a 2nd Houston Rocket didn't make the AST, and he was blathering on about something to try to sound smart.

its Nate Drexler not Clyde. Guy is some writer for truehoop.

I must admit, I'm a little surprised that Lyn didn't get voted in.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Is this for real? If so, the last 40 posts in this thread are even more funny!

yep, it shows there full name on the first question then it switches to last names

Yeah Aldridge didn't deserve to go in dumb ass writers. He is only second among pf for win share, second in point per game and is now averaging almost 9 boards a game.

But his stats aren't as good as years past and the All-star game is a two way game. His defense is lacking compared to Randolph and Lee he didn't deserve to be in ahead of them.

Hehe, yeah writers... Problem.. The coaches actually look at players and their value to wins. The coaches know that there is no fucking way you replace lee or Randolph for Aldridge. Aldridge is the most versatile big man in the game now. Glad they don't go stern and vote like the moronic fans that voted Yao or vinsuckfully

Herbert: LaMarcus Aldridge. The numbers are mostly stellar, but he's having the least efficient campaign of his career. Shooting long jumpers more frequently and less accurately, Aldridge is making just 46.8 percent of his field goal attempts. A terrific player, but not one who has particularly stood out this season.

That's rich. Lets take a look at everyone's Player Efficiency rating:

Lamarcus Aldridge - 19.70
David Lee - 19.65
Zach Randolph - 19.12

Not to mention:

Lamarcus Aldridge (2009-10) - 18.30
Lamarcus Aldridge (2008-09) - 19.13
Lamarcus Aldridge (2007-08) - 18.32
Lamarcus Aldridge (2006-07) - 17.17

So it's not the least efficient of his career, and regardless he's still more efficient than those other 2 PF's who made it.

Candace Buckner ‏@blazerbanter Aldridge is so happy about becoming an All-Star again that he won't even mind if they plug him in at center, which if u know LMA, that's big

Lmao they are fucking noobs that want to vote someone in that has a better record.

Because no one has to play Defense in a All-Star game anyways

 

[KingSpeed]

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA It sounds like Jamal Crawford was left off the Western Conference All-Star team. That likely means Stephen Curry made it. We'll know soon.

Why Jamal???

There was no justification possible for him NOT being on the team. He gets undervalued in his own market, but LMA is a fantastic player.

Amen

Bill Simmons on twitter just said curry/Gasol over la/zach

No surprise that douche always hates on blazers

Bill Simmons picked us to have a winning record this season.

To be fair, there are some coaches that I wouldn't trust picking a team for me.

Who?

Oh and I hope this stops the ridiculous thoughts of trading away Aldridge in hopes of spending the next six years in lotto hell.

How's the lotto worked out for cavs?

All Star Kyrie Irving
