None of the TNT "experts" have mentioned Korver as an All Star reserve, mentioned 2 Hawks ahead of him.

Oh hell to the no!

 

[n_huffhines]

I mean he's a really solid player, I just need to a little before that jump.

I'm not saying he's top 35. I'm saying he's playing like it so far this season. Could be a fluke and he'll come back down to earth a bit.

So since you watched your first full Thunder game this year, and I know it's just one game and they are without Russ. But (numbers aside) do you still think this years team is still even with last years? Cause last years team without Russ and KD turning the ball over 11 times, gets smashed. IMO

Well, Jackson had an awesome game, but he doesn't usually play near that level. They may be better, yeah. I've watched them a bunch, just not for 4 quarters.

These are the worst all-star selections. OMG

Fans actually getting to pick starters is ridiculous. Kobe definitely shouldn't be starting, only played 6 games? Wade shouldn't be either, imo.

Millsap and who? Please tell me it's Teague...what a joke.

Yep, Teague. Shaq and Kenny and i think Grant Hill or maybe it was Chuck, had Teague on their reserve rosters. Oni think only one of them had Milsap.

Melo, Wade, Kobe, Irving, and Griffin,

Picking centers, cause that's the way it should be:

CP3
Curry (or W Matthews if you want a legit 2)
K Durant
Love
D Jordan

K Lowry
L Stephenson
P George
LBJ
A Drummond

 

[n_huffhines]

Yep, Teague

He's not even average this year. He sucks at D, he's barely a 2:1 A:TO, and he's an inefficient scorer. By all means. Put him on the all-star team simply because he takes 15 shots a night.

 

[n_huffhines]

Kyrie Irving is below average in every statistical category that matters except fouls (where he's average). 19 shots per night will get you to the all-star game, though.

I wanted to like Irving so much, but he isn't maturing in the least bit as a player.

Ah I gotcha, makes sense.

Told you Blake was overrated.

I do agree with your selections though I take A. Davis over Jordan.

Edit: I'd take Harden over Matthews.

Fair enough. I just really like what Steven Adams brings, another quality big for a possible S.A. match up.

 

[BadJerry20]

You don't like Teague and Irving, who would be your other East PG then?

He's been lost without Horford. That P&R combo really boosted his numbers.

Millsap deserves to be an All-star imo. Love his game.

 

[BadJerry20]

Is it just me or does it seem like the number of quality 2's is decreasing, while the number of quality 5's is increasing?

Agree with first part, haven't thought about the second part.

There aren't a lot of studs, but overall depth seems to be improving across the league.

 

[FalcoVol]

Seems like many 1's are converted twos and many of the other 2's are sixth man types.

Everyone is looking for the next Westbrook.

Translation: Westbrook > Rose

Did I stumble onto a previous debate?

Nah, just my opinion on the 2. You did use Westbrook and not Rose....not a coincidence.

Yep. What I like about that position is the wide array of skill sets across the league. Makes for interesting matchups.
