    I guess I should amend that to read:

    On what planet does a team with a losing record deserve two Western Conference all-stars?

    After all, a team with a losing record could very well end up a top 4 seed in the East.

    No to the All-Star team for Pek, yes to a guest appearance on Grimm.

    "When Love made a late surge in the voting and surprisingly passed Houston center Dwight Howard to earn a starting nod, it may have made Pekovic's prospects a little tougher. The West is loaded with talent this season, and big men like Howard, DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers, DeMarcus Cousins of the Kings and Anthony Davis of New Orleans all figure to garner interest as well."

    Is it just me, or is there a certain two-time all-star who is having a career year absent from that list? A certain player who's averaging 5 more PPG and 2 more RPG than Pekovic? A certain player who has led his team to a suprising 33-12 record compared to Pekovic's Timberwolves who are a disappointing 21-22?

    BTW, that line of "logic" makes no sense. Are they trying to say that if Love wouldn't have been voted a starter, Pekovic would have had a chance of getting in as a reserve ahead of Love? The fact that Love passed Dwight Howard in fan voting didn't hurt Pekovic's chances in any way.

    Considering it was a Timberwolves fan that responded "HELL NO", I think were safe.

    Seriously, whoever wrote it was too ashamed to put their byline on it.

    Are we still calling ponderguy a Wolves fan? I thought he had stuck around long enough for us to be divested of that notion.

    LMA is a lock, so they were mentioning the more fringe guys. Howard should be a lock, too, but Houston getting 2 All-Stars may not make a lot of sense.

    I see nothing wrong with the Wolves pushing to try and make one of their key players an AS. It won't happen and is bound to fail but its good when a team backs one of their own.

    At 29-17 it makes a lot more sense for the Rockets to have two all-stars than it does for the underachieving Timberwolves.

    This. Blazers have done similar type of promotions for all star games. Pek is having a career year . . . not enough IMO, but not completely out of left field for Minny to try and get him into the AS game.

    After another three full minutes without an NBA injury, Wolves announce that Nikola Pekovic is out 7-10 days with bursitis in right ankle
