    Unfuckingbelievable.
    How does a sub 500 Thunder team get TWO all stars?
    No argument with Klay Thompson or Harden even though he's a jerk.
    How do the underachieving Clippers get two?

    Great Scottie.

    I hope Damian leaves all his opponents for the rest of the season looking like the rat my cat Zoey killed last night ... then played with for 2 hours.
    (yeah, gruesome, I know)

    Dame texted back, "I know, right???"

    I'm starting to like Boogie! Him telling Dame that he got snubbed is a class move. I think Boogie is growing up!

    This sucks. It's right up there with the All-Star snubs of Rod Strickland.

    6-20 shooting isn't exactly "showing them" Damian.

    He's pressing. He's been pressing and forcing things. He needs to go back into silent assassin mode. Lull them to sleep then strike like a cobra.

    Still fuming over this. Cousins should have been voted in by coaches instead of Duncan. How is TD and his pedestrian 14/10 on this roster at this point in his career? Especially considering he doesn't even WANT to be there! This is the worst all star snub in any sport I've ever seen. How does the league not see what they have in Dame? Superstar performer who's exciting to watch, clutch as anybody in the league right now, clean cut kid with sqeeky clean image who represents himself/his team/the league in an exemplary fashion, Iron Man that's NEVER missed a game even if it means playing with fingers in a splint on his shooting hand that has obviously affected his shot, amazing underdog story of a 2 star recruit from Weber State, a guy who always makes time for the fans (autographs/charity events, public appearances) . . . the kid is EXACTLY the type of player the league needs. How does Adam Silver not understand this? He's brilliant on and off the court. How many guys like him do you see in the NBA today?

    I still hold out hope for another injury replacement or maybe Duncan does the right thing and says he's "not healthy enough to play". It's just too hard to accept that this is over. I wish Paul Allen would be more vocal about things like this. How would Mark Cuban react to this news? Take a stand for once Paul!! It doesn't look good to potential FA that in PDX a player as great as Dame doesn't get the credit he deserves. Would he have been snubbed if he played in LA? That costs guys $ when endorsements aren't there & nobody notices your performance. Need to fight this with everything we have because it's bigger than just one bad snub.

    Harden just went down with a left knee injury against Detroit. It didn't look bad but he was laying on the ground (which is normal for him) but he was clenching that left knee.

    A way that the Blazers can protest Dame's being left off the AS team is have Wes and LaMarcus wear number zero in their respective activities.

    I think his recent slump, and the fact that the team has struggled lately, has made it easy for me to forget just how good his season actually has been.

    I hope last nights game was the star of hims taking it personally. He's going to need to break out of the 3 point shooting slump soon. Hopefully he has a great game against Phoenix.

    That's my major beef. Westbrick didn't deserve to be in the all star game. They aren't even making the playoffs as of now. They want to talk about Lillard's recent slump and how the team has lost a few game? Well the Thunder has been in a slump all season and Westbrick missed 14 games

    That is beyond compelling.

    Well I thought Lillard should have made it over Westbrook (and Durant) BEFORE I saw this video. Now Im just pissed again. If its all an eye test or popularity contest for fans and coaches for that matter then it really is pointless. I certainly dont think it should be all stats but it they dont cont for anything then they might as well call them the 2015 Prom Kings instead of All Stars
