    2nd half, do we see a super Salty, pissed off at the world, "I'll show you mutherfuckers" Dame Lillard?

    I think so.

    Being pissed off doesn't fix his bruised body. Dude needs the rest.

    Without being an "All Star" how can you get All Star calls?

    Because he's already an all star and should be getting all star calls anyway.

    I am actually a little concerned that he over does it. Pressing too hard to the point where is effect the offense.

    To the fans he's an All Star but to the NBA your not officially an all star till you play in the all star game.

    He would have been an all star if he played for the Lakers.

    From USA Today

    "Lillard will become the first player in NBA history to take part in five events during the All-Star festivities that run from Feb. 14-16: the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge Friday night, then the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest on what's deemed State Farm Saturday night, and the All-Star game Sunday."

    And BGD's comment was in response to me saying "He was an all star so he should be getting all star calls anyway" And he said "You need to play IN the all star game" To which he did, and referenced in my post.

    He's probably the favorite, although you can definitely make an argument for Cousins

    Cousins should get in for Duncan when he decides to sit.
