    We should come up with a way to get Damian voted onto the team, like some secret method to get re-tweets...like, tweeting some famous person who people will re-tweet.

    Shame we can't get Mags to post some #Maga #NBAVote and Damian (or however you vote) and get like 200K retweets.

    If everyone in the Moda tweeted 100 times tonight, he'd win the fan vote. Zara won fan vote last year. Just takes some organization among the fans.

    I tried two years ago. Reached out to my twitter followers and people here but most people's attitude here was "Can't Win, Don't Try." Took the wind out of my sails.

    Bystander effect, too.

    But I don't vote for the fan vote. I don't like it in the first place, not going to participate it. Plus I don't care if Dame makes all stars, he already is one in his merits.

    I was never in favor of signing Whiteside. So
    He's going to get what, 6-8 days off to rest and heal if he doesn't make it? Sounds good to me.

    :cheers:

    I always question this statement. Most all Players go to the All-Star weekend anyway. Playing a pickup game is about the same intensity as the All-Star game if not more. They never really seem to have a tough time recovering from the All-Star break other than the party they all attend at the end.

    I think most 5-on-5 practices are more intense than the All Star game. At least in practice guys are trying to impress the coaches and earn more minutes. The All Star game has become a 48-minute lay up drill.

    Is that LeBron's "we stink!" expression, or was he trying to reclaim the move that Harden stole?
