NBA All-Star Reserves announced

[AJtheOne]

They haven't gotten these All Star selections right in yearsjust keep it simple and put the best players in that deserve it.


Stop putting in guys based on team success.

Stop putting in guys based off popularity.

Just happy Simmons got in

 

[stepbackj34spud]

If thats the case
KAT would have gotten easily

When it comes to the allstar game, the very best 12 should get in, period. It’s crazy cause the fans had the starting rosters wrong for years. We apparently fixed that.. no more guys being injured all or most of the season and getting in off fan voting.

Now we have found a way to fukk up the reserves with this oding on team success shyt. The Pacers are a good story, they don’t need an allstar though. Sabonis shouldn’t be on this team.

People complain every year about the NBA not getting it right yet it's the coaches who vote for reserves and fans (and more recently split with media + coaches) who vote for starters It's almost like a peer-reviewed accomplishment, there's nobody to get mad at.

If the NBA wants to prevent outrage about snubs, they would have to either do away with conference voting, add more slots, or tweak / get rid of positional voting.

Pierce made the playoffs in every one of his All-Star years besides 06 All-NBA selection is far more prestigious than an All-Star selection bruh wtf are you talking about.

My point is, all nba selections don’t reward the best player at that position. It’s about team success. Those awards are just as fukked up as the reserves in the allstar team.

Houston wasn't even a 8th seed at this time last year.. the fukk are you talking about

What the fukk does this have to do with what I said? Last year the Rockets lost Ariza and Mbah a Moute and tried to integrate Carmelo Anthony, CP3 was injured, they had that fight with the Lakers which led to suspensions. It was a lot of factors. The Rockets peak was 2018 with CP3 when they was up on GS and won 65 games in the season.

CP3 has been balling out and leading a surprising OKC team. Harden has complained this year about being doubled and they aren't meshing on the floor together. Russell had been having a pretty poor season until ramping up just lately.

Is KAT one of the best 12 players in the west?

Not at all, the All-NBA awards (Team, Defense, MVP) are the accomplishments that specifically award individual success. That is also not what you just said, you literally wrote All-NBA matters less than All-Star

Booker, Ayton, Oubre, Rubio, Kaminsky, Baynes, Saric, that's a better/deeper squad than what Spurs and Grizzlies have. If Book was really the leading star player who can carry his team like people are suggesting, Suns would be in the playoff picture.

The fact that you list Kaiminsky as an important piece of the rotation says all that's needed. Not to mention that Ayton missed those 25 games. Kaminsky and Baynes have both missed double digit games. Saric has overall been disappointing. And the Suns missed three games Booker didn't play and the one where they got hurt. So their record is 20-23 in games where he played the full game. Not to mention he's stepped it up as a playmaker while being efficient as hell. My beef is with CP3 making it. He's been a good leader and all and a monster in 4th quarters but SGA has been carrying as big of a load as him and overall they've been a strong team.

Wins you dikkhead..

You do know 1 team has Harden and the other doesn't, right?

 

[SchoolboyC]

Dude is an offense only big man that doesn't even stretch the floor. He's basically Kanter with minutes.. The fact that history is going to acknowledge him as an all-star before guys like Booker and Jaylen Brown is a joke.

Danny Ainge would personally drive Kanter from Boston to Indianapolis if Sabonis was on the table

CP3 ain't leading OKC shyt.. They got a bunch of good players for Westbrook and George..

Schroeder, Gallanari, Gilgeous-Alexander are ALL AVERAGING 19 PPG.. CP3 average 17.. He's just the name people know.

Russ didn't have Harden, KD or PG and still made the playoffs. With a bunch of role players. What's your excuse now?

 

[AAKing23]

Beal, Lavine and Booker are all worthy of being there but it's only so many spots

It happens

I know they missed games, I know players have underperformed, but these are roleplayers who exist to thrive under a system and have produced before. Kaminsky (who averaged 22 mins a game and was playing before he got hurt) is a stretch big who should be a plug and play.
