2711502, NBA All-Star Teams Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Jan-30-20 06:35 PM EAST: Giannis Embiid Siakam Kemba Trae Bench: Jimmy B Lowry Simmons Khris Jayson Bam Sabonis WEST: AD Luka Harden Bron Kawhi Bench: Dame Mitchell Jokic Gobert Ingram Russy CP3 Thoughts?
2711504, I’m still trying to figure out why Jimmy Butler was classified as a... Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Jan-30-20 06:40 PM front court player, he should be starting in place of Trae the rest is whatever.
2711506, RE: NBA All-Star Teams Posted by allStah, Thu Jan-30-20 07:17 PM Pretty much solid all star team. No real big snubs. However Lowry over Lavine is the only issue. Lavine’s Number is way better than lowry, and Lowry missed some time. Siakim missed a shit load of time as well. I’m not a Lavine fan at all, but from a star point of view , Lavine has been way more spectacular.
2711507, In the old days guys on losing teams hardly ever made it... Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Jan-30-20 07:23 PM that’s why even though I love Trae I don’t think he should starting
2711540, wow, odd you dont hold this logic for Nash's MVP's Posted by HecticHavoc, Fri Jan-31-20 03:20 PM which probably still keeps you up at night

2711557, RE: wow, odd you dont hold this logic for Nash's MVP's Posted by allStah, Fri Jan-31-20 08:43 PM >which probably still keeps you up at night Lol. I see you’re a Phoenix guy. That’s funny though.
2711516, Fuck that. Beal got snubbed. Posted by WarriorPoet415, Thu Jan-30-20 11:11 PM ______________________________________________________________________________ "To Each His Reach" but..... Fuck aliens.
2711517, Can’t really argue it but Beal and Booker were snubs. Tough year. Posted by Ryan M, Fri Jan-31-20 12:12 AM
2711528, Booker out is pathetic Posted by HecticHavoc, Fri Jan-31-20 10:36 AM the league really hates the Suns, always have. fuck Robert Sarver as well
2711538, Book been in the league 5 years now?! Posted by falafel stand pimpin, Fri Jan-31-20 03:06 PM Goddamn. Wasting away in the desert. How is it a snub though? There's no room... who do you put him over? Beal is a straight up snub.
2711539, hes played better than CP3, Westbrook, and Dame Posted by HecticHavoc, Fri Jan-31-20 03:16 PM but PHX is never on TV, and 11th in the West
2711552, But you get the argument, I'm sure. Posted by Ryan M, Fri Jan-31-20 07:10 PM It's a hard year, man. CP3 - Booker's playing better, certainly but CP3 is dragging that team to the playoffs which is crazy. Russ is Russ, and keeping Houston in the hunt at an MVP caliber while Harden's slumping. Lillard is REALLY damn good and killing it right now. I get being upset and feeling snubbed, but...it's certainly an argument. Nothing's egregious here. (Side note - discussing basketball in a normal way is starting to feel easier)
2711553, RE: hes played better than CP3, Westbrook, and Dame Posted by allStah, Fri Jan-31-20 07:37 PM You’ve lost your mind if you think Beal is playing better than them. Cp3 is leading the league in clutch points, and has three other players that can score 30 a game on that team. - Westbrook has been a walking triple double machine while harden is shooting bricks Lillard is keeping Portland’s head above water and scoring like crazy. Beal, Booker. Lavine are basically stat padding on terrible teams. They have the green light to shoot without sharing the ball. Fans ain’t vote for them and neither did the coaches or media
2711554, cool. i said "he's played better than them" Posted by HecticHavoc, Fri Jan-31-20 07:42 PM not sure why you think i mentioned Beal NBA players in league history that average at least 27 points and 6 assists on 60% TS: Lebron James Michael Jordan Larry Bird Steph Curry James Harden Dame Lillard Devin Booker --------------- safe to assume you dont watch the Suns and i do. he's having a historical run and to correlate him with Zach fucking Lavine, whew.
2711555, RE: cool. i said "he's played better than them" Posted by allStah, Fri Jan-31-20 08:06 PM My bad on Beal But those are just offensive numbers. Paul is also locking guards down in the 4th quarter. Okc is ranked top ten in defensive and offensive rating. Then he is facilitating ...getting other players involved. Can’t put booker over Russ or cp3 . They are doing way more.
2711561, Nine rookie contract guys, eight first-timers, three starters among them Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Fri Jan-31-20 11:33 PM Pretty nice sign of the future of the L, eh? A lot of the returning/established guys are pretty young, too.
2711572, Dinwiddie Beal Rose and Booker got robbed Posted by guru0509, Sat Feb-01-20 10:14 AM edit* i dont want to say robbed because there are only so many roster spots available, but theyre all playing at all star levels and it needs to be recognized.
2711574, RE: Dinwiddie Beal Rose and Booker got robbed Posted by allStah, Sat Feb-01-20 11:07 AM How so? Who are you going to take out? Young got better stats than all of them and is the bigger star. Come on now. Lowry is 20/7/4 on a championship team, sharing the ball with other 20 point scorers/ Dinwiddie would be up for most improved player, rose sixth man, but not all stars. Beal is just padding stats with no other scorer or all star on that team And booker? CP3 is slightly in the mvp conversation with what he is doing with OKC. They are the biggest story of the season. And he is sharing the ball with 3 other scorers Dinwiddie, Beal, Rose, and Booker are putting up scoring numbers ...but nothing else and their teams aren’t doing shit.
