    I just want Dame to get voted to first team and tell them to fuck off because he has a youth charity camp booked that weekend

    Dame will get the vote over Harden or Klay this year.

    I'd like to see it be justified not having a player from a top 3 team in the west on the all star team. I'm not sure CJ will make it this year, but if the blazers are where I think they can/will be at the AS break then I'd consider dame a lock.

    I could also see harden being left out if the rockets are total trash which they likely will be. However it would be interesting to see the rockets doing worse than the Blazers last year, yet harden still finding his way to the ASG unlike what happened with Dame. This is a scenario I'll have my eyes on.

    2 of those players will be out with injuries by the Allstar break.

    We're only going to have like 12 wins at all star break, so who knows right?

    I am not saying CP3 will start to fall off this season but I feel like his numbers will start to fall soon. Been in the league for quite a while. Injuries, etc.

    Definitely front court.

    Based on current rules, you can have a minimum of 4 guards and a maximum of 6.

    This is one time when I agree with Doc Rivers:

    "I argued this, and I lost, in the competition committee. I thought after the starters, there shouldn’t be any positions. If seven guards should make the team, seven guards should make the team. They were worried how the game would look, and I said, they’ll figure it out. "

    I've said this too, but I think it will be much harder than you think. Either way it sucks. Do you not think other players. fans will see our push for Dame and put their own push together for their favorite player?

    In his new D'Antoni run-and-gun offense, Harden will lead the league in scoring this year. He will definitely be an all-star.

    I certainly don't think he'll deserve it, but maybe that's just me.

    Beal won't be an All-Star.

    They'll be lucky if he plays 60+ games.

    Yeah, a neck and neck scoring title race between Westbrick and Harden.

    Westbrick will lead the league in FGA

    Harden will lead the league in FTA
