    He doesn't have to worry about Love at least.

    Re: Dwight Jaynes doesn't think Lamarcus Aldridge will make the All Star Team this ye

    In the west, what other PF's are there?

    In the PNW division:

    OKC: no one all star worthy
    Den: see above
    Minn: Love isn't having an all star year
    Utah: see above

    Midwest:
    Spurs: Duncan
    Mavs: dirk (hasn't earned it yet)
    Rockets: not sure? I think they have someone. Not being smart
    Grizz: Zach (Gasol also)
    New Orleans: yeah, not sure

    pacific:
    Lakers: none
    Clippers: he'll be the starter, and due to their record too
    Kings: cousins(?). Not sure he'll make it
    Warriors: David Lee
    Suns: none


    So, the PFs he'll realistically have to battle is Lee and Zach. Maybe Marc Gasol.

    Not sure that Dwight is right, although not saying LaMarcus is a sure thing though

    Re: Dwight Jaynes doesn't think Lamarcus Aldridge will make the All Star Team this ye

    Remember, this year there are "backcourt" and "Frontcourt", not PFs and Cs.

    the "frontcourt" players in front of him are Durant, Howard (vote), Griffin as starters. Duncan's a lock. Mark Gasol is a lock. Z-bo's a bit behind LMA on stats, but may make it on coaches' vote (or may not b/c of Gasol). That's 6. Figure 7 frontcourt players, 5 backcourt players and 3 at-large. LMA's got a decent shot.

    Is Jaynes even writing about the NBA anymore other than his blog that I haven't seen in months?

    LMA will be an All-Star if he keeps up his current play. He's one of 4 players in the entire league averaging 20/8, and he is on a team that currently would be in the playoffs.

    Good thing the coaches Vote holds so much weight, people that actually know basketball.

    180 from Dwight.

    Well if better records for your team counts for All Star Game voting (In the NBA we have seen this happen) sadly to say Jaynes may be right.

    How is Gasol a "lock"?

    Re: Dwight Jaynes doesn't think Lamarcus Aldridge will make the All Star Team this ye

    Because he is playing first team all defense and contributes offensively.

    I think LMA makes it though. Dirk and Love will not make it.

    If we still have a> .500 record, LA will make it. Not really sure he deserves it, tbh. I think Dame/Nic have had a similar impact as LA.

    Re: Dwight Jaynes doesn't think Lamarcus Aldridge will make the All Star Team this ye

    I think Serge Ibaka may have a good chance because he's a big contributor on a championship caliber team also the worriers are playing really well they have a winning record and David Lee is a big reason why. ZBo is in the same boat as David Lee, Then you have Duncan and Gasol oh and don't forget about Dwight Howard. How many bigs do you need? Jaynes maybe right on this one.
