    Seems like LOF's have reading comprehension issues. I said Lin will never be an all star on merit. There are countless other PG's who are better than Lin and they will struggle to make the all star team. Lin is nothing special. He is an average player as a starter and a good 6th man, period.

    Oh and I do understand that the ASG is a popularity contest and I clearly stated that. A bit of reading ability goes a long way...

    I was referring to your first claim that Jlin will never be an all star...will i guess if you have other meaning of "never" then i guess i am wrong...i know that there are some pgs in the league who are playing better than him but putting clouds on his ability to get in that level is so mean...thats what i mean dude...

    And I was referring to CFs in general not you who whines a lot about the results of the voting, putting Lin ahead of Harden...do i make myself clear?

    By the way. I just want to know if one try to say something good to Jeremy he will be consider right away a LOF? Lols i didnt bash any player here in this team, not a chance like others who think they are really good in basketball...

    So if i say something good to James Harden then i must be HOG? Harden only Guy

    Team jerseys
    Raw talent
    More finesse
    Less data influenced play
    Less three ball

    Not sure what it is, but it was the golden age for me. Rockets really need a passing game.

    You have no basis for this, so why let it bother you.

    Maybe he meant this year, but the guy is actually properly talented... and improves a lot each year. I could actually see him being an All-star in the future (and being one of the better guards around to earn it as well).

    I'm saying I doubt the indignation here is because some player might miss out on a contract bonus. Such things are not in rookie contracts - so anyone affected is probably a multi millionaire already.

    You're mad because someone like Chris Paul may or may not get a bonus on top of 15 million?

    It sure would. Lin is not deserving of the spot. He's been playing really bad (can't shoot or make his free throws).

    I think it's hilarious how mad some 'Rockets' fans are about this. Joel Anthony was on the All-Star ballot a couple years ago. As a Heat fan, would I have been embarassed if The Warden made it? Nope - it would have been AWESOME lol.

    My prediction for the West is:

    PG: Curry/Lillard/Parker
    SG: Harden/Thompson
    SF: Durant
    PF: Griffin/Love/Duncan/Davis
    C: Howard/Aldridge

    Dude when u say never means NADA, zero how can you use never if you are referring only to playing this season? You should discourage yourself using this word if you believed something is not going to happen in the future so FTW rockets is really convinced that Jlin is not going to reach that level...

    boogie deserves it over thompson and Duncan. Duncan hasent had an allstar year compared to cousins that's for sure.

    Parsons deserves it over Thompson aswell

    hmmmm but Parsons is considered a "front court player" while Thompson a "back court player"

    Anyway I don't think either of them make it....

    Actually yes, I agree regarding Cousins.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with the rest of the bench.

    Is it 12 players that play? How many front court and how many back court?
