    First by Batum, then by this guy. Both seriously question his "amazing" rebound numbers. Having watched him play twice (both Blazer wins), I agree that it would be a travesty if he were to make the All-Star game ahead of Aldridge. But it's probably moot, as Blake Griffin will be put in there ahead of either of them.

    That's a 'google translation?' Fun to read!

    Kevin Love's stats are padded?

    No way!

    kobe, paul, carmelo, durant, pau, deron, ginobili, westbrook, dirk, duncan leaves 2 spots

    it's probable 2 of griffin/love/LMA will make it, unless Stern get sentimental for nash and picks him (which would be 6 guards).

    Kevin love is going for stats and stealing rebounds from teammates and going over the back many a times and not getting called but he is also going for a historic season. Yea his stats are getting padded not just by him but also by his scorekeepers at home and probably also on the road a little bit. The NBA wants this so he'll keep doing all this to get that 20/15 season and the refs will give it to him as well as the scorekeepers.
    When he gets on a real team he'll probably go back to what his number will actually be which imo will still be impressive at 16/12.

    Zach is a shoo-in, he's been consistently dominant ALL SEASON LONG. Neither Love nor Aldridge are even close to his level this year.

    I don't agree with several of your other choices either. I hear some guy named LeBron will get votes.

    I thought it was "Lovers wanna love."?

    Kevin Love that is. But I would rather have LaMarcus.

    Hmmm.

    Moses Malone was notorious for tipping in his own misses under the hoop. Love tips in his own misses and he's a stat monger....

    I couldn't find a more appropriate time to bring up the term, "Haters gonna hate".

    Coaches pick the 7 reserves but Stern will pick the spot left open by Yao being hurt, Aldridge will likely get that spot if the coaches don't vote him in.
    Not true. Randolph was extremely inconsistent early in the season. But then again, so was Aldridge.

    I don't understand why people criticize players for tipping in their own misses. Isn't that what you WANT your players to do? Or, if he misses, do you want him to just say "aw shucks" and run back down the court?

    Quality post kingspeed. All very good points. I don't rep people because I don't think it's really necessary, but if I did, I'd rep this. Well done!

    well that settles it, Batum is a hater :rolleyes2:

    pretty sure Nicolas was questioning whether Love was missing shots on purpose so as to pad his rebounding stats in yet another Wolves drubbing.

    btw Rastapopoulos, who is "this guy"? Your 2nd link doesn't lead to anything

    I can't believe people think that Love would purposely miss to add to his rebounding stats. Thats a pretty deep accusation.

    which is why i referred to stern. LMA's fate could very well be in his hands.

    stern has gone against the logical choice several times in the past, and showed no regard for team record when he picked kaman last year. it is far from automatic that he would pick LMA over either love or griffin if it comes down to that.

    Stern picks whoever he has chosen as the poster child for that year. It ain't LaMarcus. The only Aldridge makes it is via the coaches, and I personally doubt he'll make it.

    The Blazers have been padding wins lately.
