lin could never make a shot the whole first half of the season and he's starting. plus, the average fan doesn't give a shit about per. they care about hpm and cpm. highlights per minute and commercials per minute. or, be from china and be named jeremy lin.
Lin isn't starting. Why would he get 400,000 minutes more votes this year? Kobe didn't even have the most votes at guard last year. Curry did. Lin was 4th. Lakers Fans don't like him that much. And PER probably does matter when coaches choose reserves.
And Lillard has more commercials than Curry or Kobe or Lin. And is on the cover of NBA Live. And appeared on Conan. And had THE highlight of the playoffs.
Really? Kobe? Really? It's okay, man... I hate Kobe too, but he's had WAY more commercials, WAY more tv appearances, and most likely, way more NBA video game appearances. Just accept it, Lillard still has to fight for his spot. Is that such a bad thing?
Usually, the team with the best record gets at least 2 all stars. Coaches put a premium on winning (it's what keeps them employed), even if fans don't. Than means at least one of MEM and GSW, possibly both, will get 2 all stars. For MEM, that would be Gasol and Conley. For GSW, that means Curry and Klay. That potentially eats up three guard spots right there, combined with wacky fan voting (look for Kobe to get voted in, he's leading the league in scoring and, thanks to the Chinese, was still 3rd in jersey sales in 2014 even though he only played six games), Lillard may be odd man out - but may get in as an injury replacement. Hard to say. A lot of ball to be played between now and when the coaches name the non-starters. Unfortunately for Wes, unless we pass both MEM and GSW and are running away with the West, there's no way Wes makes the team. At best, we'll get two all stars, no starters, and those two would be Aldridge and Lillard. BNM
That's the way I see it as well. I would really love for both players to be snubbed. I really want them to take the snub personal and go MONSTER against everyone in their path
If both players are snubbed, it means we have a bad record. Not good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Harden and Curry are leading West guards right now. If Kobe doesn't get in, will coaches pick him? Right now, I see Curry, Harden, Dame, Parker, CP3, and Westbrook as west guards. That means no Monta, Klay, Conley, or Kobe. Seems coaches might want 2 Warriors though.
