    No--starters are part fan vote, part player vote, part media vote.

    Jerami Grant. Jusuf Nurkic. You just can’t have 2 All Stars on a 2-8 team. Coaches won’t pick ‘em if they don’t start.

    No one on our show got awards. We were shut out of the Emmys every year. The show will prob come back at some point cuz that’s what hit shows do nowadays. I would expect to be involved. But right now, David Boreanaz is busy doing Seal Team.

    I understand the basic concept of good players on bad teams generally not getting all-star berths, but there's unfortunately a dearth of quality frontcourt play in the west this year, and all star selection rules require that there be at least 6 frontcourt selections from each conference. And as bad as the Lakers have been a a whole, their two main frontcourt players have been the best in the conference.

    If you honestly think that the coaches would select Jerami Grant at his current production level for an all-star berth over Lebron and AD, even given the disparity in team record, I just don't know what to tell you. :dunno:

    I "Liked" that because you said it might come back. Not because no one received awards. Thought there was a couple? Maybe just nominations? Anyway. Hope it all comes together for you.

    Yeah they will be there. Lebron pretty much by default. You gotta figure AD if healthy will get the nod as well.

    It is too small a sample size to put much stock in the small +0.9 point differential or in the winning of close games. It’s a good sign though that we have multiple ways to score on a final possession, not just Dame trying to create a shot one on five. That bodes well for the playoffs where the ability to score down the stretch against a set determined defense is at a premium.

    I haven’t checked but it seems like we’ve had a tough schedule and we’ve been without Dame a lot so there’s two factors that should bump up our point differential quite a bit. You need +4 to expect around 50+ wins. Dame alone should add that much although I don’t like that our offensive style seems to revert towards old-Blazers when Dame is on the floor.
