First All-Star Returns: Dwight 2nd in West Frontcourt, Lin 4th, Harden 5th in Backcourt

he deserves a reserve spot? he should get a court side seat at the AS game, at most.

 

No you wouldn't. Now cut it out.

 

Dwight Howard (Hou) 295,120
Jeremy Lin (Hou) 240,404
James Harden (Hou) 198,667
Chandler Parsons (Hou) 77,179
Omer Asik (Hou) 53,827

Dwight Howard - the most popular Rockets player! Who says Dwight is the most hated player in the league ?

 

that's what the all-nba team selected at the END of the season is for. if i were a player, that's the list i'd want to be on.

 

Yeah, speaking as someone who lives outside of Houston, most people who follow basketball only know Harden as the annoying guy who works to draw fouls all the time (instead of "actually playing"). They don't see him as a good player so much as a guy who can get the whistle.

 

Lin in front of Harden? *snicker* Dumb fans...

 

Concur. It's stupid. Maybe I'm not their target, but I also see very little correlation to NBA revenues and fans ability to vote in all-stars.

 

Come on, it is a popularity contest, so it is good to see that he got some love. Isn't that nice that all Rocket candidates were recognized by fans?

There are only 10 players will get voted in, for other players, it is nice to see they are well accepted across fans in the league. People just love Rocket players.

I will just keep vote them, won't make too much difference anyway, but still, I think players will be happy to get votes, and get supports, and get recognized...

 

^This x1,000,000.

 

they're on the historically awesome boston celtics team right? and paul pierce came off of a wheelchair in the playoffs to lead his team to a championship right?

 

If you haven't noticed, the entire voting system is messed up. Garnett and Pierce both over Brook Lopez? Really?

 

Imagine we would trade him to the East and he makes the frountcourt there.

 

Yeah but I also only see Kobe as a rapist and CP3 as a flopping whiner

but that's just me being homer

 

Asik wants out of Houston (I guess Rockets fans didn't vote for him. only for howard, harden, lin and parsons)
it's unclear where he will land
and he is playing behind dwight (only 10-15 minutes per game)

But.....15.?

 

Need to vote for Chandler

 

It'd be funny if Asik made it.

I quit taking the ASG seriously years ago. It's more comedy than real sport.

 

LOL yea my thoughts exactly...ray allen and deron being voted...mannn lol such a weak ass conf its really sad. and people in the west will be snubbed, too much talent.

 

Hell yeah, get any Rocket in!

 

Lin is having a good year, but it's insulting that Harden is behind Lin. Yao situation all over again, Asian players win by default.

 

It is always interesting to talk about the results. But a lot of people here should keep in mind that the vast majority of fans are casual fans who not go to message boards or know what PER means.

Even more serious fans don't necessarily vote "seriously". I voted for every Rocket on the ballot that I could. I'm sure a lot of others did too.
