    It's kind of like watching the Blazers against the Blazers. All offense, no D.

    I still can't believe Westbrook isn't starting avg a triple double in west...another reason the allstar voting sucks...

    I think it's silly that they had the fan vote be 50% AND be the tie breaker. If the tie breaker had been "categories won", Westbrook and Thomas would have (deservedly) have been in over Curry and Derozan.

    I will only vote if one of our players has a chance. This year I knew they didn;t. Not with our abysmal play, so no. I didn't vote.
    I will watch though because I'm interested to see KD and Westbrook on the court at the same time on the same team and see how it goes, but other than that, I could care less.

    I didn't vote once....sort of the meaning of the thread.....just lost interest, but looking at results...don't see how he didn't make the first team...first season I haven't voted

    So you don't like the results of an election yet you didn't vote.

    woof....does that explain it? There's a difference between not liking results and being apathetic to the whole allstar game...I'm later camp...but yes..I'm bitching about the results ...they should just turn the whole process over to me and I'll fix it all.....be sure to let them know I'm available

    I watch Blazers game when I can, have never had any interest in any NBA game that had no Blazers in the line-up.

    As a rule, AS games are like watching an elementary school's certificate for all participants game where no score is kept and no effort is shown by anyone.

    I always thought of it as an opportunity for a Blazer player to network and do some free agent lobbying more than the game itself....it's just, nobody seems to like Lamarcus so it never worked
