    And then you have the other GSWs that might not deserve to be in the all star game taking up spots because of fan votes. Coaches selection will be brutal. The sodium will flow this half-season..

    This is going to be interesting.

    Why "impossible?" The only question, imo, is does Curry make it.

    We no longer vote on center's separately, right? So, clearly Davis is making it.

    WB
    Harden
    Kawhi
    Durant
    Davis

    But Curry will beat out someone for votes. It's really just those six players. Pretty simple this year, actually.

    Out West Locks

    Harden
    Westbrook
    CP3
    Curry
    Durant
    Kawhi
    Davis
    Gasol
    Griffin

    Guys who will likely make it because of the West Coast votes and Warriors bandwagoners

    D. Green
    Klay Thompson

    The other guy who could make it:

    Lillard

    Outside chance to displace one of the above 3: Cousins? LMA? Towns?

    Since the All Star teams are based on POPULARITY, don't be surprised when the WEST starting guards are CURRY & WESTBROOK.

    Harden is having a great season and clearly is starter worthy, but with the FANS, he won't get the popular vote.

    Green and Klay do not deserve to be All-Stars. Curry, if all things are fair, would have a tough time getting in too. You just know 4 warriors will get in..

    Harden something like #10 on one of ESPN's fan ranking polls, behind some real bums.

    It sucks that Gordon won't get any love but man, he is worthy.

    Man i love Gordon but you are not realistic. West is way to tough. Gordon isn't even a starter (not because he doesn't deserve it).
    Let's be realistic. Harden is our only all-star this season, unless gordon will put up 30a game until the allstar break.

    I am very realistic and I didn't say he deserved to be on it. I just wish he was mentioned because I think he has shot as well as anybody this year.

    The thread title is actually the title of the linked SBnation article. My apologies if I didn't make it clear.

    Nope. Was referring to the team would have been 60% Thunderized.

    There is no way KAT doesn't make it. Best center in the league not named Davis or Capela.

    So this Ziller guy says Steph is a lock to start over Westbrook or Harden.

    ....why?

    Honestly I wish they would just replace the all star game with something else or just give the players time off
