So Draymond won't be a starter? What a kick in the nuts.

LMFAO at the fans. CJ #16?

Only 2 out of 10 I had an issue with. Russ and IT should be starting. Kyrie and Steph should be reserves

I have no problem with Steph getting the node over Westbrook. Westbrook's stats are horribly bloated. At least Harden's are more efficient.

Sad.

I'm mildly surprised that Dame gets so little love too.

No disrespect to Steph but Harden & Westbrook should be the starting backcourt for the W. With the addition of KD Curry's pts, rebs, asts, stls & FG % are all down from last year.

He deserves the start on the same basis as Kyrie.

Thomas and Westbrook have better stats.

Kyrie and Steph have better records.

I don't care how bloated they are. 30, 10, and 10 isn't easy to do. To avg stat for the entire first half and not make it as a starter is funny to me.

And Harden really isn't much more efficient than Russ.

If Kyrie starts, Steph should too.

But, I agree with you.

Westbrook gonna bite a mofo next time they play the Warriors.

I was looking forward to watching him NOT pass the ball to Durant..lol

I thought the same thing -- I was really looking forward to RW & KD start. It would have been hilarious if RW refused to pass the ball to KD.

Westbrook PER is higher than Harden and both are shooting very close to their career fg%. Heck Harden actually avg more TO per game than Russ.

Dude is gonna be destructive when he checks into the game.

I think having fan votes as the final tiebreaker is stupid. Player rank should be IMO

My biggest issue with this is that it affects guys contracts.

So, it matters.

Yeah I wish they would just do away with fan voting. Or at least change the % once again. Move player votes to 50% and drop fan voting to 25%.

Brice Johnson received more votes from NBA players to start the All Star game (2) than he has games played in the NBA (0).

now

Tristan Thompson played in his 411th consecutive game tonight. Obviously you've seen by now he headed to locker room w/ apparent injury

So Kyrie and Steph get to start because they're on loaded, title contending teams while Thomas and Westbrook have better individual stats but on worse teams. Can't say I'm surprised, at least ZaZa got taken out of the starting lineup.
