    We are getting huge national exposure this season.

    We have the stats as well. Aldridge is the best performing big and dame has better stats than Curry, Parker and even Westbrook.

    I'm talking individual player. LMA for sure is getting a ton of attention (and he's a lock), Lillard not as much (until these GWs). There's still time before the all-stars are decided, so we'll see what happens.

    Let me rephrase, it shouldn't be. And it probably wouldn't be nearly as bad with the fan vote off the board.

    Lillard has gotten his fair share. I know us "Blazer fans" just can't accept something good coming our way, but we deserve it

    In this case I was talking about Duncan vs Love. LMA is a lock. Dame has the stats but I could see him left out honestly.

    I don't know man. Roy made it his second year. Sometimes you are just that good

    The thing with Lillard is that there's just too many good guards out west.

    It would actually be fucking hilarious if Stotts were coach of the West and the Blazers didn't have any players on the team. We would instantly become the biggest story of all star weekend.

    Awkward.

    I would love to be wrong on this of course. I think he has a shot, that is for sure.

    The Pistons were 40-8 going into the break and all 4 guys were selected by the coaches as reserves. The link below references Gilbert Arenas and Michael Redd as the two biggest snubs. Respectively they were putting up gaudy scoring stats on mediocre and bad teams, which always seems a dicey path to being selected by the coaches. Melo scored 29 per game on a mediocre Nuggets team and didn't make it either. The East was pretty weak back then too so maybe they got 4 in somewhat by default.

    All star voting is an absolute joke and needs to go. Badly.

    Looks like we need to be 40-8 then. Then maybe Matthews and Batum can make it as well! :)

    Being an all star is kind of a joke now. If Dame and LA make All-NBA teams I will be happy.

    ESPN's Daily Dime states that as of right now, a case could be made for Aldridge, Lillard AND Matthews representing us.
