On "The Starters," 3 of the 4 guys picked Lillard!

Feel free to merge this to the appropriate thread. Man, it would be great if Lillard made it.

And one of them didn't pick Harden!

To make the All Star team that is. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Who didn't pick Lillard? They all said he was a lock last week.

Unfortunately when picking their reserves reporters and commentators almost never factor in how the coaches vote actually collectively functions. As a predictive indicator their opinions mean next to nothing.

At this point it should not be surprising at all if Lillard is not voted in. If not he would still have a very good chance to be named as Kobe's replacement by the commissioner, but even that is not a given.

Lillard is not an all-star, not even close.

Oh come on. He's close, but I think Dragic has earned a spot over Lillard.

Well, they all said he was a lock but Skeets didn't put him on the team as he would pick it.

Averaging 20.6 ppg for 4th best team in NBA. 4th best FT shooter in league. Elite three point shooter who is just in a little slump.

And we are 5-1 against the three teams ahead of us. And Lillard has hit two game winners.

or maybe above average 3P shooter who went through an extended hot streak and is returning to normal (.391 last year)

.391 is elite

 

[ponderguy]
