do you think brandon is an all star this year?

What guards in the West have had a better season thus far?

Paul (although NO hasn't performed to the expectations of most)
Kobe (but it is closer than you'd think)
Tony Parker (Playing great, but SAS aren't exactly lighting the world on fire)


That's it. Two of those are at the 1.

Roy won't be voted in, but should be a coach's pick, no question. It would be an absolute crime for him to be left off based on play this season.

 

id like to hear other fans opinions

 

There's no question he's an all-star. The only SG's in his league are Kobe, Manu and Kevin Martin. Manu and Martin have both missed significant time with injury and Roy is the undeniable leader of this team. He would have to hit a real cold streak or get injured for him not to make the squad as a coach's choice.

 

Richardson plays for the Bobcats. Or am I missing someone?

 

Yes and he should be starting along side Kobe. Sorry, CP3 is sick, but what Roy has done so far this year, with this schedule..He simply deserves it, bu wont b/c fans are morons.

 

Without question. We have the 2nd best record in the Western Conference. He is our star player. He has hit a couple game winning shots that have gotten national attention. I agree that only Kobe and Paul are ahead of him. The others are hasbeens, notenoughs, and notyets.

 

Actually, Denver is tied with us and they've played great since acquiring Billups, so that should make Billups as much of a lock as Roy.

Face it guys, a homer can make a similarly compelling case for any of the top 6-8 guards.

 

No doubt about it!

 

Roy made another leap this year and he was good enough to make it last year. Several coaches have said their main focus on defense against Portland is to stop B-Roy. Unfortunately for them, he has entered the realm of the nearly unstoppable this year. He is the best player on a surging Blazer team. I can't imagine he doesn't make it via coaches vote.

I do think that Roy will never be voted in as a started. Portland doesn't get enough play on the east coast and Roy's game is flashy enough. I figure he is going to make the All-Star game a few times before it is all said and done but only via the coaches.

 

Best player on one of the best records in the West. He'll make it by the coaches for sure.. unless Portland starts losing like crazy (or injury of course). I do hope Williams makes it too. he deserves it as well.

 

Can't remember where I read it but a coach just said they play Roy the same way they play Kobe, Wade, and LeBron. I would say that's the ultimate compliment. Ever since Charles Barkley made the comment that the Blazers don't have a go to guy Roy has been tearing it up in the 4th quarter.
