Kevin Love starting over Dwight Howard in All-Star Game

You know what, I'm glad Dwight got snubbed. Even though Love has better numbers its still a snub because the T-Wolves have never won with Love. Maybe this will be the motivation he needs to take it to a different level consistently. People are not feeling Dwight or Harden these days and I have been down on them because of lack of consistency and killer instinct. Fans see that around the country and probably don't take them as seriously as other star players. I'm hoping this lights a fire under both Harden and Howard's butts.

 

that's been established many times, the coach chooses who starts is the highest voted is injured.

so no, unless Lin bribes the coach he has 0% of getting into the ASG.

 

Eh, there's nothing wrong with Love starting over Dwight. This isn't MVP selection, this is the all star game. Realistically, the frontcourt should be Aldridge, Durant and Love. They're putting up insane numbers. TWolves just have the bad luck of being in the West, so the record isn't that great. Dwight has been great, but compared to Love, heck, even Griffin, he's not that deserving of it. And this is coming from a Dwight Apologist.

 

Griffin knows how to win, Love knows how to b****.

 

The real question is HOW THE **** IS BLAKE GRIFFIN STARTING?

 

**** Kenny smith for not picking harden as one of his reserves. He always has an agenda against rockets. I'm not saying he should be a homer, but show some loyalty to the team that got you two rings.

 

I googled it. It's actually the commisioner, not the coaches, who chooses the replacement.

So it would be up to Adam Silver.

Any chance my boy Parsons gets in as a reserve?

 

Put Griffin on the Timberwolves in place of Love and the Timberwolves become worse.

 

Kobe, curry, starters. That's leaves 3 of these guys getting coaches votes, lillard & cp3 will be for sure

Cp3
Westbrook
Harden
Lillard
Parker

 

Its going to be Harden. I can guarantee that 100%.

 

What's worst is Lin getting more votes than Harden:

He already said it was a typo, he did not realized he had not put him in. Says he would scratch Lee of his list and put in Harden.

 

I've never thought that. He gives the Rockets love.

 

Look out Dwight, I'm taking your spot!



Maybe Rockets fans should have voted more? T'Wolves fans had no problem.

 

Someone please change how all-star voting works.

 

Have you watched him this year? He's playing his best basketball, he's averaging 23 & 10, has a post game now, knocking the midrange shot consistently & is shooting the 3 decent

Indeed. My problem isn't with Love being a starter at the 4, but rather that the center position is no longer voted on separately. And yes, I knew that the rules had been changed and have thought the change stupid from the beginning. Now that the results are known, what better time to complain again?

 

If they are giving allstate starts to lotto team losers then Evan Turner should be starting in the East
