    He’s mad because Dame kicks his ass pretty much every time they meet.

    I'm just saying.. Heat is 4th seed and no All-Star. Not good.

    To be fair, he's crying about his teammate being snubbed, as contrasted with crying about yourself getting snubbed. It's like that old Walter Payton quote: "When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they tell you." Russ is saying that Dame is just "good", but PG is great.

    I don't disagree about Dragic--just taking issue with the idea of excluding Lowry.

    I am surprised that Russ has time for this. Doesn't he have a game he needs to shoot them out of?

    Pretty much this.
    Since Lillard was drafted in 2012 Portland is 12 - 10 vs OKC
    If you take away the 4 losses which happened Lillard's rookie year to OKC... the winning % against Portland during Lillard's career becomes awful.

    Not to mention westbrick has cost them games against Portland by himself.
    Sure Westbrick puts up numbers but Lillard walks away with the W.
    What matters more?

    Man, Westbrook choked at least 3 games against us the last couple seasons. I remember the game he scored like 57 and that was the headline but no one remembers he shot like 2-10 or some crazy shit like that in the 4th quarter.

    Drummond should be in over Love or Horford. Case can be made for Klay as it can for PG.

    Remind me of why the red font? Was that Devil's advocate font?

    Remember the OT loss OKC had in 2014 to Portland?
    OKC up 10 under 2 minutes and Westbrick loses his mind, gets a tech and basically quits on the game.

    Fuck you Westbrook. You bitch that the team with the best record in the NBA gets too many players, yet a team who you are just 2 games ahead of does not deserve any? .....while your team deserves another?

    Westbrook has to do everything in his power to try to keep PG on his team this summer. Even if it means alienating every single member of his all star team.

    I really hope he and Dame are on opposing sides-- you know Dame saw this. As if he needs extra motivation.

    Horford got rewarded for being on a great team. He’s not an all star if he’s on the Magic. So what’s the criteria? It’s a team sport. Individuals shouldn’t get punished or rewarded for their collective units failures or successes. Drummond deserved a spot over him.

    Al Horford has nearly identical stats to Draymond, hell he's actually more efficient.

    Green: 11/8/8/1/1 on 47% FG, 32% 3pt, 104 DRTG, 17.3 PER
    Horford: 13/8/5/1/1 on 51% FG, 44% 3pt, 101 DRTG, 18.8 PER

    Not talking about you in particular, but why no vitriol in the media about Draymond making the team, while everyone is piling on Horford?
