    You guys should really stop complaining. Steph Curry is usually one of the top 4 vote getters and with Luka getting so popular, Harden is fortunate that he actually has a place at guard.

    I know I know, fan voting is idiotic, nba is a joke, blah blah. Most of you all don't even care about the all Star game. So just saying, Harden being 2nd in guard voting with Lukas rise is actually surprising lol. I thought it would be Luka/Curry.

    What are the realistic chances that Capela makes the All-Star game as a reserve?

    He currently leads the entire Western Conference in rebounds, barely ahead of Gobert.

    the coaches vote for 2 guards, 3 frontcourt, and 2 of any position for the 7 reserves

    so assume pg13/jokic are locks. that probably leaves you with 2 slots that capela could potentially get in. But that pool would consists of the likes of Gobert/KP/Aldridge/Harrell/KAT/Adams just off the top of my head. Take your pick haha

    damn capela has a higher PER and PPG and RPG now than Gobert. Along with a higher team record.

    cappella actually has a chance

    he does have a credible case for himself. the thing is the rockets sending 3 to chicago is pretty doubtful. This is assuming wb gets in of course

    you're probably right. you have to have a overwhelming record like a few teams have when the pistons and warriors have when they sent 4 players. or when the stats are more evenly spread, meaning harden having a few less ppg and capela having more.

    Why should we vote for Capela?
    He doesn't deserve it.
    Neither does Westbrook.
    I'm voting for neither of them to be a starter.

    You can't make fun of the Curry and the Caruso votes and then go and ask for people to vote for Clint to make it over Lebron and AD and Westbrook over Doncic.:rolleyes:
    Don't be hypocrites.

    were not talking about capela over those guys. it's about the reserves. at least that's what I was. CC has no chance of being a starter. I think he has a case as a reserve though. If Deandre Jordan can make the all star team in his career so can Capela

    Our votes isn't for the reserves. Fans vote only for the starters

    They weren't going to let Doncic be a team captain over Qing James.

    Harden should obviously be the first selection in the all star game draft but both LeBron & Giannis don't seem to like/want to play with him. He was 2nd to last (7th out of 8) to get picked last year in the draft.

    If this was a real game then yes Harden should be first pick but in an all star game Harden deserves to be second to last pick. He is awful in these games. Gives least amount of effort and only jacks threes.
