Some of the mock all-star reserve selections have Lee making it while Curry doesn't make it. The Warriors are having an awesome year. Lee and Curry should make it this season. Yes, 12 are chosen: 5 starters and 7 reserves.
Ya I think it is 12 total. Not that it means much (really anything at all) but the guys who have published their votes (on blogs and such) have only picked LMA on about half the (fake) ballots.
actually for the year his scoring efficency has dropped off a cliff. TS% .519 down from .560, ORtg lowest of his career etc. you could make an argument lee, zebo, gasol, and even ibaka should be in over him given that fact coupled with the team's recent slide back to .500
I assume you mean focal point of the defense to stop the PF. http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/pf/sort/VORPe I would put that number at 9 if you take into account a combination of USG, VA, and EWA. You could hassle over some of these of course all day back and forth.
Last year's All-Star game was a joke. Durant 37 minutes Bryant 35 Griffin 31 Paul 31 Westbrook 28 Nobody else got over 18 minutes. May as well just have 8 guys go and play if the coach is going to treat it as a regular season game.
interesting that there doesn't seem to be a single leak so far, unlike previous years. they must have really tightened up this year.
and it starts: Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Philadelphia guard Jrue Holiday has been selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves, league sources tell Y!
Funny, same thing happened at the draft, too, where like a minute before each pick or so, he announced it. Which is fine, part of me kept wondering why I was reading and watching, though. Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Indiana forward Paul George has been selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves, league sources tell Y! Sports.
I hate how these fools are so desperate to break news. They need to step back and see how sad it is to frantically tweet out stuff that is just about to happen. So you have a lackey that will give you news that you call a source. BFD.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Hearing @JHarden13 and @aldridge_12 have indeed made West All-Star team. Official annoucements in minutes
I would believe Mark Stein well before the other guy, but I find it hard to believe LaMarcus made it.
the other guy I was talking about was Kamala the Ugandan Giant. I didn't not see anything from Woj when I saw that
