http://grantland.com/features/our-nba-all-star-team/ What do you guys think? I like the Parsons acknowledgement, he's been playing great. Also he mentions the reason he has some guys from the West on his East WC spots is because the West is that good and the East is that bad.
man its crazy to think that lowry is actually deserving of starting in the all star game in the east... happy for him
That looks like one fun frontcourt matchup, but Harden/Curry/Parker/Lillard will take the east bc's lunch money
Except the West's backcourt wouldn't be able to guard a brick wall between them. But then, it's an All-Star game, so that's probably irrelevant anyway.
T-Jones should be a no-brainer, but hard to see D-Mo getting in when he's just now getting PT. I think there is 12 roster spots. I would say these are the players deserving- Sophomore Starters- -G- Lillard -G- Beal -FC- Barnes -FC-A Davis -FC- Drummond Reserves- -Jones -Sullinger -Lamb -Plumlee Bubble guys- 3 out of 6 -MKG -Waiters -Henson -Ross -Wroten -Nicholson -Hopefully they can get Davis, Jones, and MKG on the court together at some point to reunite the Kentucky championship crew.
Man... forgot about our own dude. Shame on me. Yeah, I guess I just think of him as being a veteran player because of the way he plays, but yes he definitely deserves to be on that team more than the bubble players (Wroten, Waiters, Henson, etc)
Interesting. I could've sworn Lowe was saying last week that Harden didn't deserve to be an all-star this year.
He just tweeted something along the lines of "it shouldn't be a given that Harden is a for sure all-star" and then pointed to his defense as a reason to question whether or not he deserves it or not. I dont think Lowe seriously thinks that Harden isn't an all-star though.
I take Duncan over Cousins. And maybe Howard to start over Love. Other than that, i pretty much agree. And yes, Lowry is having a heck of a season currently.
Man some of us Rockets fans, myself included, were so upset when we traded Lowry away. It's not that we were wrong--he is this good of a player. But man it sure did pan out! In Morey we trust. I suppose the one move you can criticize tho is his decision not to give Dragic that fourth year option. Dude has almost the same PER as Harden this year. Geez-sh. Imagine him being on this team now because it could easily have happened.
I'm not certain if Chris Paul is out? I assume Kobe is. They probably both get voted in but both would have replacements. If CP3 is out PG Curry/Lillard SG Harden SF Durant/Parsons PF Aldridge/Love/Griffin/A Davis C Howard/Cousins/Jordan
All-star team doesn't assign positions like that. It only differentiates between "guard" and "forward" positions, which is why Deandre Jordan wouldn't even be in the conversation.
I would say that's still quite stupid. I only hope he tweeted it for its effect due to general dislike for Harden and the Rockets from his audience.
You're kidding right? Cousins is playing out of his mind. Duncan's numbers are very underwhelming this season.
