You're right. Forgot I tend to agree with the majority. Love got snubbed and I'll throw in Aldridge too. Sorry Nash, no disrespect but Love or Aldridge probably deserve that spot even if there is an abundance of Forwards already.
There is absolutely no justification for Blake Griffin making the all-star team over Kevin Love or Zach Randolph. This is a travesty. It is truly a sorry excuse of a game that Kevin Love who is doing things that hasn't been done in nearly 30 years and still can't make the all-star team. It's just a joke.
Kevin Love should've been picked over Tim Duncan. Tony Parker should've been picked over Deron Williams. Duncan should've replaced Yao. If you're going to have 4 Celtics in the East, you better have 3 Spurs in the West. The argument is Lamar Odom or Kevin Love right now to be picked for a replacement to Yao.
Barkley just made a similar point, Love has better numbers then Griffin but we get blinded by the dunks and highlights. Another point they made was that we see the T-Wolves record and kill Love for it.
Agreed. Oh AND Anthony should not play for putting the league in trade-hostage mode. I wanna see the forwards be Durant and Albridge
What's up with all the Duncan hate? I think he would be around his career averages on a bad team and he still plays good defense. Kevin Love should still be there though. Hopefully he takes Yao's spot. And, what's with the Nash omission? Is he playing any worse than last year, or the year before that, or the year before that? He's been playing at the same level since his late 20's, how can a guy go from being an MVP to not being an all-star with virtually the same numbers and production?
Somebody should just give up their spot to Kevin Love. You'd think that Coaches, who are supposed to understand the history of the game wouldn't rob a player like they are doing. I honestly feel sorry for Love having to play in a league like this and the only reason he didn't make it is because he's not a flashy player or the sexy pick. Truly disgusting.
Duncan should not even be on the team -- he's averaging 13 and 9. Love, Aldridge, Odom, and Ellis are far more deserving of the nod. Popovich deserves to be slapped across his acne-scarred face for making that call.
I can't believe that Randolf never had ANY mention (that I heard) of being a possible reserve. He's one of the four 20-10 guys in the NBA...Love being the other. He'll probably be picked as Yao's replacement.
Kevin Love is having a monster year, but this isn't fantasy basketball. It's the ASG. It's about who the fans want to see.
Now we see this is more about your team's record than how you actually do individually. They put 4 Celtics on, so it makes no sense for them to only have Manu as the only player from the best team in the league.
Check the rulebook, brah. Fans have no say in the selection of the reserves... Popovich and the coaching staff make the call. I doubt the fans have any interest in seeing an immobile PF who's scoring average checks in at #20 among Western Conference forwards.
