Cavs in the OKC tonight

OKC always plays them tough. No Mitchell, Love and Rubio.

I saw Dort was out…no reason

@thunderc




Chet Holmgren hilariously received all-star votes form NBA players

Four players voted for him to be a starter.

I've always said the All-Star game should be for the fans and the fans only. None of this "fans only count for 50%" bullshit.

Got them straight up.

 

[The Q]

Putting him into like a rozier deal makes sense

 

[bksballer89]

Casual who probably only watch Bam when they are on TNT

Fans are just so dumb though.

But isn't this event to be FOR the fans?

That doesn’t mean they should choose. They would just pick their favorite players

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

That doesn’t mean they should get to choose. They would just pick their favorite players

And that's usually the best players.

And even if a guy like Austin Reeves or Bol Bol slips through the cracks, what does it matter?

No chance

I mean, I love The Bald Mamba and am probably his biggest fan on this forum, but I want whatever the Bulls FO is smoking.

A lot

There are likely incentives in people contracts on making all star team. A guy like that get in then a deserving player miss out

Bc they don’t deserve it. The point is to put the best players on the court for the fans to be entertained. Most fans do not want to see Austin Reeves in the ASG

Does a star player who acts like a jackass deserve a spot more than a fan favorite?

If they get the votes, they clearly do!

You probably have it right?

That's the point.

It's the fans game and that is how the NBA has always sold it.

It's never been about "the best players", it's about who the fans want to see.

That's why we have seen things like old ass broken down Kobe getting voted in or Magic voted in when he was technically retired.

Things like All-NBA, etc. are about the best players. The All Star game isn't.

I really don't get why some folks can't grasp that.

Players have shown that they don't take it seriously.

The media holds grudges.

No matter who does the voting, addicts like us on this board will bitch about it. Well, I won't...but most of the rest of you will.

Fan vote is the only type of voting that even makes sense for any All Star game.
