    Honestly I want either us or Spurs to have the best record. Brooks would play westbrick and Durant for all 48 minutes

    Exactly. That chump Brooks gave his guys a TON of minutes during the All-Star game when he coached. Bush league.

    No. Pacers and Thunder only have one game in that timespan. Best they can do is tie us.

    If Brooks coached last year, he can't be All Star coach this year. Pat Riley rule.

    Yes. That's a rule. You can't coach 2 All Star games in a row. It goes to team with second best record. Who coached last yeAr ? Did Brooks? What do you mean by ORLY?

    From Wikipedia:

    The head coach of the team with the best record in each conference is chosen as the coach of their respective conference in the All-Star Game. However, regardless of record, a head coach cannot serve as an All-Star head coach in two consecutive seasons.[1] Known as the "Riley Rule," it is due to the fact that former head coach Pat Riley's Los Angeles Lakers teams of the 1980s won so often that Riley ended up earning the right to coach the Western Conference team eight times in nine seasons (1982 to 1990). In the event a coach's team repeats as the best record holder, the head coach from the team with the second-best record will serve as All-Star coach for that conference.

    Pop played Aldridge even less in last year's game than Brooks did two years ago. Hopefully Stotts gets to coach this year.

    The most amazing part of that is that Phoenix is #8 overall in the entire league. That's how bad the east is. :lol:

    This site tells which teams had the best All-Star break record in each conference back to the 1998 game. Using it, I answered the question: When did the team with the best conference record repeat in consecutive years?

    1998, 2000 Indiana (There was no 1999 game.)
    2000, 2001 Portland
    2003, 2004 Indiana
    2006, 2007 Detroit
    2006, 2007 Dallas
    2008, 2009 Boston
    2009, 2010 Los Angeles
    2012, 2013 Miami
    ------
    http://www.allstarnba.es/coach.htm

    This site lists all All-Star head coaches in NBA history. Using it, I answered the question: Back to 2000, when was the rule about consecutive years not followed?

    2000 should be Dunleavy, was Jackson
    2001 should not be Portland (Dunleavy), was Sacramento (Adelman)
    2003 should be Indiana (Thomas) and was
    2004 should not be Indiana but was (Carlisle)
    2012 should be Miami (Spoelstra), was Thibodeau
    2013 should not be Miami but was (Spoelstra)
    ----
    Observations about the rule:

    2003-2004 and 2012-2013: Does the rule disallow the same coach, but not the same team?
    2000, 2001: Was Duneavy ill both games? Hard to believe.
    2012: Was Spoelstra ill? Can coaches opt out to rest? I bet the answer is
