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

    After the usual suspects I think LMA has a good shot if we stay at over .500 because the coaches seem to like him. I also only see 3 teams with multiple all stars on it and thats 2 from OKC/Clippers/LA. This is how I see it
    NO- None
    Phx- none
    Sacromento - none
    Dallas - none
    LA - Kobe/Dwight Both starters
    Utah - Jefferson/Millsap
    Minn- Love
    Denver - Lawson
    Portland Lillard/LMA
    Houston - Lin/James
    GSW - Curry/LEE
    Memphis -Gay/Gasol/ZBO
    SA - Duncan/parker/Ginobli
    LA - Cp3/Blake/Crawford CP3/Blake starter
    OKC- Westbrook/Durant/Ilbaka Durant starter

    Starters
    CP3/Kobe/Durant/Griffin/Dwight
    Westbrook/Harden/Curry/Duncan/MGasol
    2 alternates come down to Parker/Gay/ZBO/Jefferson/millsap/Lawson/Lillard/Lin/LeeIlbaka/Crawford
    Seems like LMA will have one of the best cases for an alternate spot.

    no way curry is ahead of parker. parker has tenure, better record, 4 pts higher PER, and is a 4-time AS.

    although individual coaches may vote with it in mind, the coaches vote collectively has little regard for representing each good team fairly. that's pretty much a crap shoot.

    The warriors are going to get an all-star and I just assume its Curry over Lee because of how much media attention Curry is getting. Parker does have tenure, a better record and is a multi all-star but I just don't see him getting into the AS game this year.

    No way Aldridge can make a better case than David Lee right now.

    He's on Talking Ball. That makes him an expert.

    it's hardly unprecedented for a good team to not have an all-star due to factors other than team record.

    also lee is having a better year than curry and individual coaches who do happen to be looking to reward the warriors will look at his prospects first.

    lee would get in over LMA before curry bumps parker

    Can we get Jennifer Esposito? She's worked with Jaynes before...

    The thing is coaches are smart enough to look beyond stats and beyond popularity unlike most fans do.

    The coaches were smart enough to vote LMA into the game last year.
