Zaza Pachulia to the All-Star Game !!

[SIeepwalker]

Do you think Draymond is happy for him ?

 

[Haakzilla]

...this is a fucking disgrace

Well at least fan voting only counts for 50% this year right ?

I believe that is correct. I love that Westbrook is on the outs though.

 

[KingSpeed]

I also like how unpopular Blake Griffin is.

 

[Sarni]

Not a chance he will make it even if he finishes first, he would still need to be in top 6 for both journos and players and obviously he won't be.

The way fans vote they should just play gsw vs cle

Ok fellow rookie D & D nerds.... Who is gonna write an app that will stuff the ballot box?

I thought about that once, but im no putin.

Who the fuck is ZsaZsa Patchouli?

 

[julius]

This just shows how idiotic NBA fans are in general. A guy averaging 5 points per game and on his team is only a starter by default, does not deserve to make the all star game.

It's amazing how historically poor Blazer fans vote in these things. But than again, almost 50 years of being barely an after-thought in the eyes of the NBA will do that to you.

It's his country. Same reason why Lin used to get so many votes. IMO they should eliminate fan voting altogether.

Didn't even consider that as a reason. I think fans should count for 25%

I think fans shouldn't count at all and the players/coaches should select all the spots.

This could be a stupid question (like, have I been to the capital of Oregon....), but have you been to the salt mines? That looks like a really cool place to see....

He is injured

 

[Chris Craig]

What in the God Damn....Pachulia in the All Star Game....what has the NBA become

 

[Minstrel]

I wonder if we could get Pachulia straight up for McCollum or if we'd need to throw in a pick. It would really balance out the roster, though.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

He is injured

That has never stopped fans from voting someone into the AS game.

True....looks like it didn't stop 100,000 or so Clipper fans

Don't forget Yao was a lock even when he played like 10 games due to injury...

You're trippin' Zsa Zsa is untouchable. That's a pipe dream.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Didn't he almost make it last year?

Not surprised, since he had already become a cult figure and now he plays for the NBA cool kids.

 

[speeds]

Dunno if you guys are familiar with John Scott but NHL fans did the same thing with him last year for a laugh. The NHL tried to wriggle out of it but eventually let him into the game and he ended up getting the MVP.

 

[Orion Bailey]

So basically the fans can help to make sure GS just has thier guyus as the starting5. Awesome. Another reason notto wathc this year.

Lets see. Nobody from the Blazers will be there. The uniforms look like shit, and GSW will basically represent the west. Lame x3

 

[Denny Crane]

Zsa Zsa (SIC) is averaging 5 points/5 rebounds, and .5 blocks per game. He has a (basically) average PER of 15.1.

But it isn't about stats, it is about popularity.

Is hockey considered a sport still?

Think this is some prank on Twitter. Zaza has been in the league for a long time... So why now? Also, Georgia is a small country. It must not be a GSW thing either as Draymond and Klay do not have that many votes.

Happened last year as well when he was in Dallas. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/1/...ba-all-star-voting-nash-grier-KOBE-ROBBED-HIM

Zaza has always been a star, he's only getting recognition now that he's on a glamor team.

He's one of the faces of our generation.
