I've always believed Horford was overrated and Bogut is certainly underrated player. He is fantastic.
Duncan should let Kevin Love put on his uniform and hope they dont notice...Plus I think Duncan would probably rather work on his retirement speech that weekend
There is no logic in this. If winning mattered, why was Griffin voted in? If winning did not matter, why was Duncan voted in? Just horrible.
kevin love's team is just too horrible. its hard to get an allstar in when you have the worst record in the league. so I cant really say thats too big of a snub. griffin I thought really deserved it, he is the sole reason clippers are winning any games at all, and he plays hard like garnett does and gives his all on the heart. griffin will be amazing one day
Maybe it's my anger that Love is not on the team but you're right, Gasol is having another Gasol year. Though, it's real hard to say that Gasol's year has been as great as Love's.
The way I look at it is what if Gasol and Love switched places ...would Love put up Gasol numbers ...In that regard I dont think Love is better ...but I agree he shouldnt be penalized for having a horrible team...dude is playin his ass off...Its hard to continue to play hard for a scrub team and not feel appreciated for your work....kinda like my job
It's also false to assume that the clippers are all blake griffin. They have a ton of talent on that team. Eric Gordon, Baron Davis, and some decent rookies in Eric Bledsoe and Al-Farouq Aminu. Love has nobody but Him and B-easy.
Gasol's a really good player but this season Kevin Love is on whole other level. For your question as to whether or not Gasol could put up the same numbers on a crappy team, you just have to look back at his time w/ the Grizzlies. Love, even when Al Jefferson was there, was a rebounding machine. Then the dude decided to add a 3-point shot to his game. He might not defend as well as Gasol, but this is Love's year to be an All-Star.
Zach Randolph got snubbed. If he was known as a good guy and didn't have a reputation he would get more recognition for deserving to be in the all-star game. Randolph is averaging 20 and 13.2 and Memphis is now over .500. I wish Randolph would get more love.
I like the choices. Obviously the coaches award winning over pure stats which is the way it should be.
That's not how it works. All 30 head coaches each get to vote for 7 reserves from their conference. Coaches are not allowed to vote for players from their own team. Duncan was added by vote of the 15 Western Conference coaches. Popovich wasn't allowed to vote for Duncan so Duncan was voted in by the other 14 Western Conf. coaches.
This All-Star Game is a joke. No Kevin Martin!? Are you serious NBA!??? I saw the list ESPN put out and there's no Monta Ellis, LaMarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love!??? Whaaaaa?????? The NBA All-Star game should be like MLB's where at least one player should represent from each team.
No, that would suck. C'mon people. I agree that Love should've been voted on the all-star team but there are so many all stars in the west some were bound to be left out. You gotta cut them SOME slack.
