    I love it, even if he gets Kobe's spot, it is still the Coaches he faces every game that left him off the team. Something tells me he is going to make them realize the error of their ways.

    how many people in the league average at least 21.8/6.2/4.6 (Lillard's stats)? Honestly, can someone tell me? Westbrook maybe? Anyone else? Of COURSE Lillard should be an All Star.

    I think he would be if he averaged 18 and 8 and was not 4 in missed shots.

    I'm pretty sure Lillard will get in based on the fact that it's the commish who decides.

    Lillard: addidas big $, high profile, good guy who generally says the right things, already has lots of fans, a guard to replace a guard

    Cousins: head case, huge stats, big man

    I like Cousins but he should NEVER get in over Lillard. Cousins is basically Kevin Love at this point, monster numbers on a shit team.

    ESPN is so assed backwards that I don't even know why I read the shit anymore. I swear earlier none of them had LA on their ballots, and now none of them say LA is a surprise addition in the west. Bunch of flippy flopping f***s.

    Of course they are going to try and save face, because the only thing dumber than not having the best PF in the NBA on your roster, is saying you are surprised he made it.

    I ignore him when he talks about lillard much like I ignore Sabonis when he talks about LA.

    Well you will note that it is not me that is wondering why he didn't make the All Star team. I like him fine but I seem to be the only one that can tell why he didn't make the team.
    I also think his coach is letting him down but not insisting he use the talents he obviously has to help the team more. The Star play he lets Damian exercise is not helpful to the team
    or Damian. He should be and All Star given the talents he has, but not the way those talents are being used.

    Can't wait to see Damian drive the lane and THROW IT DOWN at least three times tomorrow. Then he'll step out and hit three or four threes in a row and tap his wrist. Y'all know what time it is.....

    Watching all of the games; I don't see many guys put in as much effort as Lillard does night in & night out.

    Combined with his stats and our record, it really is unfathomable how he is left out.

    Really your just trolling a pissed off fan base at the moment. Its not ban worthy but your posts make me think of that 12 year old who kills someone in Call of Duty then spends the rest of match taunting the person he killed.

    Oh bull shit! Really, the guy has a ton of talent and it is being piss poorly exploited. It probably is not all his fault. but he is not making the All Star team this way is he?
    I would like to know why this is happening, and I don't accept any notion that the league is snubbing him. He did not earn a spot and he should have done so and then some.

    Your pretty much the only one besides the coaches assistants that fill out the ballets that thinks that. Pretty much all the talking heads and "experts" on ESPN and other sports sites had Lillard as a lock.
    Im still pretty sure he gets it over Cousins as Kobes injury replacement.

    I thought I was as big of a Lillard fan as anyone, but when I tried to explain a couple of potential reasons for his snub to my wife she "unfriended" me. I guess she wins the family homer award . . .
