Rockets' Chris Paul left off 2018 NBA All-Star roster. Morey: "It's pretty outrageous."

lmao

His 2nd best player last year was Eric friggin Gordon, and that was considered "too much help"

Doubt CP3 missing the All Star game even crosses the media's mind when it comes to MVP voting

 

Who the **** wants to watch Draymond Green play basketball -- especially in an all-star game? There's no skill/flash to his game. It's like inviting Andre Roberson to the 3-point contest

 

He’s not playing at a dpoy level this year imo. He’s likely not playing games as serious and all out because of the grind to make 3 finals in a row but he’s definitely still a very good-great defender, just not great enough to make the all star game because his defense.

His inclusion is absolutely rediculous. Klay deserves it more than draymond and klay doesn’t deserve it

 

All Star Games are as much as a joke as Pro Bowl games. I don't even watch them, because they are as meaningless as beauty pageants. It's just something to watch when you are bored. They are based on who the voters like, and nothing more. They simply host them to make money and toot a few people's horns they want to toot.

 

Klay Thompson got in over CP3? What? People can't wait to watch the man catch-and-shoot or something?

 

2 players max, each team.

Part of a super team full of other stars? Tough luck. Enjoy the easy wins.

 

More rest? As if those extra 20 minutes of pickup-chuck it from half court-basketball are going to make a difference? haha

 

I think it's safe to say, at this stage of his career and all he's been through, making another all star team is not at the forefront of his mind.

As a competitor and a guy desperate for a championship, this will just be added motivation to focus on bigger accolades, nothing more.

 

Good .... CP3 can use the rest , wish James would take the night off too.

 

Welcome to Houston Chris!

 

This - the all star game is a joke - who watches that crap anyway?

DD

 

I'm good with CP getting some rest

 

They tried to tell me Ariza was a hall of famer and Westbrook was playing with a bunch of dleaguers. When it comes to Harden they’ll use anything to drive the narrative to someone else.

I guess I’m in the minority that don’t think it’s that big of a deal that Paul got snubbed. I think the impact argument from Morey makes sense and I’d personally take him over Thompson without hesitation but he’s missed a significant amount of games and penalizing him for that isn’t crazy to me.

 

18 more games played.

It's all games played, folks. We all know he's an all star.

Didn't OKC trade away an all star and net a non all star?

SIL

 

They traded away 2 All-Stars. But Westbrook had no help they said.

 

They traded away 1 all star post Wesbtrook, for 2 all stars pre Westbrook that ended up being 2 non all stars with Westbrook lol.

PG come to Houston.

CP3 is the best PG, period, let alone an all-star. While the actual game is nothing, that recognition is important. Sadly, NBA has reduced to dunks and stats in terms of popularity. In terms of leadership, PG skills, and toughness, CP3 is header and shoulder above the rest of guards including Curry. We was robbed.
