Who deserves to be the All-Star reserves?

[bleacherbum54]

All star Ballot
Dwight Howard (Orl) 1.600.390
Joakim Noah (Chi) 236.497
Tyson Chandler (NY) 163.077
Joel Anthony (Mia) 101.307
JaVale McGee (Was) 63.765
Al Horford (Atl) 50.396

So Hibbert was bellow 50000 votes.That is really unfair for this guy.But I believe I will be right.Noah will be in the all star.

In fact I believe it would be more difficult for Deng to be in the all star game.Stoudamire,Garnett and Bosh have more votes.And OK lets say screw KG.Amare and Bosh are a must see from the voters.It will be difficult to leave them out.

Deng wont make it due to injury but I guarantee Hibbert makes it. The coaches in the NBA aren't Special person they have scouted Noah this year and know he has been bad. They also realize that Hibbert is the centerpiece for the Pacers who happen to be 0 games in the loss column out of 1st in the east. The offense runs through him and with out him in the game the Pacers struggle.

Did you really just mention KG?? That just tells you how out of touch you are with the NBA. Paul Pierce has a better chance than KG does to make the team.

OK we'll see.
Yes I mentioned KG.And i said SCREW HIM.You don't even read what i wrote.
You are out of touch with the NBA if you believe that there will be players noone vote for them.People will watch whatever they want to watch.It's the all star game.And the stars are the players that have more fans than the others.Choosing someone with 200000 votes instead of someone with 210000 votes it is OK.But choosing someone with 10000 votes instead of someone with 300000 votes is bad business.

I say it one more time.I love Hibbert and I wish he will be in the all star.But I don't see this happen.

u said screw KG why not screw Noah also because the only reason he has the votes is market size. Have Hibbert play how he has played in Chicago and he is 2nd in voting.

Fan votes are irrelevant really Joel Anthony based on skill would get 0 votes if it wasnt just Miami fans voting for their guy.

I think Iggy or Josh Smith or JJ will get in over Deng and Hibbert will get in over Chandler we will see next week.

 

[houheffna]

Last year was last year. And he missed over a third of the season anyway. He didn't even deserve it more than Howard, Horford, or Bogut last year anyway.

That was not your argument...LAST YEAR! Remember? Duncan > Love????

You made that argument...just saying

Because he is #2 in votes,his team is #1 in the east and he reached ECF last year with the best record,he can defend every position,his team coach will be the East team coach and he has a fanbase in Europe too where the NBA is selling a lot.(Not me. I like him,I appreciate him for being the heart of the Bulls sometimes but I am not a fan of him)

I told you this before.Having 10-50000 less votes its ok because it's the market.But 300000 more it is not only the market.

I dont say Noah is the best.I am just saying that he will be chosen.If they chose the best Eastern Conference Center they will definitely chose Monroe first or Hibbert second.And if it was to me I would chose Hibbert.

 

[Crystallas]

It's going to be close. I think McGee and Bargs are going to beat Hibbert out, sorry bb54.

Even Greg Monroe is having a great season, among the issues in headcase-city.

Noah wont make it in, unless he has a lot more double double games, with those nice assist totals, and averages 2blks a game until decision time.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

I don't care if Deng is injured for now...He earned it last year and this season until he went down....Voters should be ashamed if he is not named to the roster..

That is all I have to say..you guys can carry on now.... carry on.......carry on

Monroe has been great but because of how bad Detroit is they will take the guy on the contender who plays the same role. The reserves are gonna be announced next week Noah doesnt have time to make up. Monroe is basically the the same player as Hibbert in a smaller frame(so not as good of shot blocker) I really like his upside he is a future all star.


McGee is an idiot on the court anyone who votes him in an all star game is no good coach. Mcgee might be dumbest player in the entire NBA he and the other clown in the Wizards front court is the main reason they suck so bad.

It was would be probably be the biggest snub in some time(almost as bad as Aldridge last year) if a guy like Mcgee or Noah make it over Roy Hibbert who is the most important player on a top 4 team in the east.

Bargi deserves to be in the game but he isnt a C he plays PF and even some SF for the Raptors. Bargi has been as good as a normal Dirk this year on offense.


I dont think you guys get how it work coaches vote on the game not fans.

This is a decent mock of what it should be.

You made that argument...just saying

First of all, the Joakim Noah vs. Roy Hibbert argument has nothing to do with age. Noah has had an off year this year and Hibbert has become a much more solid player.

And, in regard to Love vs. Duncan, there are still days even this season (when Duncan is feeling good) that he might be a better player than Kevin Love because of the dimension of low-post scoring and interior defense that he brings and Love doesn't.

Last year, Love vs. Duncan for the all-star game was a good debate and Duncan edged out Love, in my mind, because he was the more proven player on a team with a better record. This year, it's not a debate anymore. Duncan has physically diminished further and Love has improved even more.

My argument last year was Love was having a better individual year...LAST YEAR. I didn't focus on age either, I focused on performance. And no, at no time this season has Duncan been better than Love, and it didn't happen often last season.

JaVale McGee going to the allstar game??? Hilarity...

I agree that there is no way that happens, would make no sense at all.

 

[zack54attack]

Well, you could turn that same statement around and say Parker is having just as good if not better season than Lowry.

Well not really...you said you'd give it to the proven player, meaning Parker. Which makes no sense if Lowry is having just as good of a season.

How the hell is Rami a writer for this site when he never actually writes anything?

It is a statistical wash then something has to be the tipping point when deciding between two players.

I've written plenty and still do. You make no sense

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I believe that he will be chosen as a reward for his last year performance.

That's Special person, its based on performance for this season, not last years.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Tony Parker with 42 points and 9 assists in an upset win against the Thunder.

Tony Parker > Kyle Lowry.

@RamiTheBullsFan

Dirk Nowitzki won the championship last year.It is impossible not to have last years champion in the all star game.

Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki doesn't think he deserves to be an All-Star - ESPN Dallas

Loul Deng deserves to be an allstar.
