Watching people lose their minds every year over someone who got "snubbed" is more entertaining than the actual all star game :heh:

People are incensed over Book but at best it's an arguable omission. This is also voted on by coaches so who are they even mad at when it's the opinion of top experts on the game :yeshrug:

Yes it is. Stop awarding mid tier players for team success and the right guys would get in every year.

That's what All-NBA teams are for, which is more valuable than an All-Star selection. The reserve is a coach's vote, and coaches are going to value winning contributions when they vote, that's just the way it's been for decades.

Nope, Jazz are the second seed at least and Mitchell is their offensive anchor. Russell's efficiency numbers are weak and he has only ramped up recently with Harden hurt. He gets numbers but a lot of that is a product of usage and pace. The consensus this year has been that the Rockets downgraded trading CP3. :francis:
Houston was 23-17 with cp3. They 29-18 with Westbrook. The fukk you talking bout nikka

I wouldn’t have voted for Booker either. The Suns are underachieving on his watch. No reason they shouldn’t be doing what OKC is this year.

No it hasn’t. If that’s the case, Pierce wouldn’t have half as many all star selections. This trend of oding on team success has only been recent.

And all nba teams mean a lot less imo. They rarely get those right imo.. again it’s about team success for an individual award which is crazy.

It's a joke that you even posted this. Look at the numbers you idiot

I posted them, jackass. Book has better shooting and advanced numbers.

They're actually overachieving. Vegas had their win total at about 27-30 before the season started. They will likely win at least 35.

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.

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