Saw a media member call tonight’s game the best of the season (Boston at Warriors) Close game in which the Warriors win: (BOS vs GSW) best game ever Close game in which the Warriors lose (GSW vs Rockets) ......crickets
lol come onn..Have you watched any ASG lately? Players break less sweat than a team practice. And CP3 will be obligated to be in LA for the weekend anyway, it's not like he can go to vacation. And btw even if it has become a farce the X times All star still matters a LOT as credential to a players' reputation. So yeah 25 years from now, ppl will still be looking at CP3's number of years being an all star. Absolutely ridiculous and an insult that one of the greatest PG of this decade isn't an all star while some completely undeserving like Wall, Green, Klay, KAT are.
people are acting like the ASG is actually taxing...it’s nothing the ASG is on Sunday, and then the Rockets don’t play again until the following Friday, so stop it with the “CP3 could use the rest” comments as if he’d be doing such tiring work during ASW and get no break...CP3 deserves to be there and should be there, he has been way better than dudes like Klay and Paul George Houston can only get 1 all star with this great a record while mediocre-good teams are sending over multiple guys? Ridiculous...
Poor Cp3 has to leave his mansion in the woodlands, and fly to his mansion in LA/calabassas for the weekend for all start weekend in LA Paul George is a forward, cousins was a f/center, a guard would not replace him. PG, Lou, Cp we’re all in the convo of people who didn’t make it, life goes on stop crying
it's all about who the league thinks they can still squeeze money off of -- that's always who they promote & feature, both off the court and officiating wise
It is a slap in the face to the Rockets to have a 34-13 record with 1 All-Star. We would have the best record in the Eastern Conference right now. When the Astros had that monumental lead at the All-Star break, they sent 7 All-Stars. Every year we have snubs, but not every year we have one of the best teams in the NBA and we get only 1 All-Star. Wins and losses should mean something to the All-Star game clearly the NBA rewards players in their prime and for marketing ploy. This media and east coast bias is ridiculous beyond reasonable. I'm going to make my votesssssssssssss count next year.
What is frustrating is CP will not get the official recognition of being an all star this year. So in reality, James Harden is the only all star on a team with the 2nd best record in the NBA as it relates to his MVP chase. BUT, when it comes time to look at the MVP, the media will say Harden has been playing with an all star caliber player in CP, even though he didn't get the official recognition. It is lose, lose. OKC - 4 all stars HOU - 1 all star ( with CP3 averaging 19ppg, 9apg, 6rpg, 2spg and FG% splits of 46/40/91 ) SAS - 1 all star MIN - 2 all stars OKC - 2 all stars NOP - 2 all stars PDX - 1 all star
If you are this upset about cp3 not being an all star maybe you should question the abysmal voting turnout for him.
East coast bias? Are you really using the west coast bias as an explanation why Chris Paul didn’t get into the west all star team over a handful of west coast players and a replacement guy from Oklahoma City?
Half knowledge is really worse than complete ignorance. Position doesn't matter for replacements. Go educate yourself buddy before you start lecturing others with facts you make up on your own, ok?
I believe the fatigue concern is generally more about the 3-day crush of media attention and scheduled events that these guys all have to go to, rather than the practice and game themselves. I'd prefer that Chris get as much R&R as possible.
Facts ? I never claimed anything I stated to be facts, we’re both on a forum making opinions, I’ve been through this with you before all I’m saying is PG was a forward, had better chance to make it with cousins being out, selections are made by positions #2 homers from each side can argue PG, CP3, & LOU got left off for various reasons Lillard was due hes good!!! and finally got on I’m cool with him making it Klay is my problem, but once again LOU, PG, CP3 all could’ve took his spot it’s a toss up But Cp3 missed a lot of games he would be 3rd on a lot of people list Homer glasses off here
No they are not. When it comes to replacements, position doesn't matter. Did you skip completely over my other post? So stop claiming it was natural because PG is a forward. It doesn't matter one iota. There are you know...RULES in place.
I’m done with you moving on, I get Cp3 deserved it over Lou, lillard, PG, it wasn’t even close this year.
Absolutely. Plus you know that D'Antoni will insure that his All-star guard doesn't get run to the ground for a silly ASG. Even if he isn't the one coaching his squad. **** for all we know his current injury could end up keeping him out as well. Who tf knows?
