    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Jordan made All-Star games even when the Bulls sucked. Lillard is like a smaller Jordan minus the defense and insane scoring efficiency.

    Im saying we would be better if we had an elite 2 way player in our back court rather than two undersized players who cant play defense. What you want to interpret after that is your own business but I stand by what I said.

    No he's not (especially when you factor in his PER, scoring, and rebounding).

    Klay is overrated. A ton. Especially on defense. Not saying he can't defend but come on now. I forget the number but Klay gets most of his points by people setting him up, spotting up. Its an absurd number actually. CJ should be in instead of Klay and Dame should also make it. Wont happen but whatever, the all star game is bullshit

    http://www.basketball-reference.com...lect=Mike Conley&y2=2017&player_id2=conlemi01

    PER is exactly 1.4 points apart. Conley is a superior 3 point shooter, has a higher assist rate, has double the steal-rate of Damian and a nearly identical true shooting percentage. Sure Damian scores more, but he's also significantly worse on defense. As for which player has a bigger impact on their team, they're probably both about equal, but Conley will get the coaches vote because his team is playing well and Conley is a plus defender.

    This isn't about Damian being "bad," but it is about coaches voting on who has done more to help their team win.

    Dame has a rap cd and a dozen commercials worldwide...line of shoes....this gives him an edge over Conley....it's the allstar game, not the all nba team which is something great to win

    I listen to non Blazer broadcasts and the guy they gush over every game is Dame....occasionally a CJ nod but Dame is the star of the show here

    Lamarcus Aldridge has no business being an allstar by his own production this season...he's been ....meh a whole lot.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know what you're saying. I said that Lillard isn't driving the Blazers' poor record--you disagreed with me. So you think Lillard IS at fault for the bad record?

    Okay.

    How do you know Conley will get the coaches vote? Dame was second team All NBA last year. And Dame AND CJ were picked ahead of Conley in the players vote this year. Also, Conley has missed a bunch of games this year.

    So the Spurs have the 2nd best record in the league with only one All Star?

    And the Grizzlies aren't exactly lighting the league up. They are 4-6 in last 10. Same as Blazers. Gasol should be an All Star and I don't think Grizzlies deserve 2 All Stars.

    Aldridge is averaging 18/7 on 52/50/82 shooting. Mills is averaging 10 ppg.

    I don't. I'm giving my opinion on a message board about how I think it will go, based on the history of these things.

    You didn't give your opinion. You stated it as s fact that it "will" happen. Saying how you "think" it will happen is different.
