    The publicity would have helped, but the all-star game is a total joke anyway.

    Shows they don't care much about winning and losing records

    Nash and Dwill are in.

    Too bad he's not 100% healthy.

    Nash likely got the nod over him and he'd be playing him tonight.

    It's been said before but Stuck Fern.

    I don't care if he had nothing to do with Lowry not making it, you just get a good feeling yelling "Stuck Fern!"

    Anyway, I'm really looking forward to watching Dirk and Nash in the old-timers game. I guess Tom Heinsohn and Bill Russell are injured?

    Nash is shooting a ridiculous 56% from the field and 46% from 3. Leads all players in assists....and his teammates suck ass. Averaging a double-double.

    it's amazing Joe Johnson got in over Josh Smith - a joke.

    Rondo has been hurt so i can understand him missing out

    Nash has no business being on that team, and I love Nash...

    That should be Lowry's spot.

    I'm happy for him to get some rest though...

    Lowry 15%
    Gasol 21%
    Gay 21%
    Ellis 42%

    D-Will doesn't deserve it at all because his team sucks AND his individual numbers & play are down drastically. At least Nash has point guard leading numbers.

    Lowry isn't an all star caliber player.

    Nash is playing just as good as when he won MVP.

    True. Yet, the opinions of the coaches are tough to sway.

    Remember last year Kevin Love had about 20 ppg and 15 rbs and he was selected by the Commish......not by the coaches

    His stats are just as good, and then the discussion takes a curious turn....

    Regardless, statistically, Lowry dominates nearly all PGs from a fantasy basketball perspective. Check the cumulative rankings.
    Number 1 among PGs in total rankings, and number 4 in average rankings. Both WAY higher than Steve Nash.

    Second, and most importantly, the Rockets are beating good teams.

    The Suns and the Warriors blow ass...

    He was earlier this year, but he then dropped way below that level, he will settle back in the middle as a near all star level player, which is not bad.

    I'm just glad he is in the discussion. He has improved every single year he has been in the NBA. Isn't the allstar game coming to Houston soon?


    All Lowry needs to do is what he has always done, take another step...

    yeah. it'll be a shame if we don't have any all stars next year when the game is actually in Houston.
