    D Rose said today he doesn't deserve to be an all star this year, @Big Mitch my early season prediction doesn't look too good. I just hope the coaches don't pick Kyrie. He's putting up worse numbers than Derrick and has played in 20 less games.

    So technically not a vote but a very strong co-sign.

    Yeah he should've made it, US team has too many Guards. Would've also like to see Jerami Grant play, but probably hasn't been good enough, but he's one of those players that would be exciting to watch in this type of game. :emoji_slight_frown:

    It's ridiculous that Julius Randle didn't make it, he's a double double every night when Byron gives him minutes.

    Yo @Jakey reserves are gonna be announced tonight on TNT. Who you got for each squad? Made a $50 bet with my cousin on who could get the most right. Here's mine:
    East
    G - Wall
    G - Butler
    F - Millsap
    F - Bosh
    F - Drummond
    WC - Derozan
    WC - Reggie Jackson (could easily see Isaiah Thomas getting the nod though)

    West
    G - CP3
    G - Harden
    F - Draymond
    F - AD
    F - Boogie
    WC - Dirk
    WC - Lillard (again, could easily see this going to Klay but Dame deserves it)
    Tonight on TNT.
    Yeah ever since they changed the rule from F, F, C to just 3 F their votes went wayyy down.

    Replace Reggie with Kemba Walker and Dirk with LMA and that would be the bench I want to see. But I can also see Klay getting a spot instead of Lillard.

    Yeah Reggie/Kemba/IT are all deserving of that last spot. LMA is a solid pick, it'd be hard to imagine only 1 Spur getting the nod. Klay is gonna get it because of their record. 2nd year in a row he would beat out Dame for the final spot.

    Gonna be hard to get 3 Heat players but Whiteside deserves it over Millsap IMO.

    Idk I think it's a push, and Millsap gets the nod because he's the best player on his team and like you said, gonna be very difficult for them to get 3 guys in.

    Whiteside has a solid lead in blocks (best rim protecter in the league) and is a double double machine. I'd still probably give it to a guy like Gasol or Lopez before Millsap..

    Yeah I mean if you asked me which guy I'd rather have on my team, I'd take Whiteside. There's just so much politics that go into these selections.

    Really hope Klay gets it over Lillard, I live in the Portland area and Lillard cares way too much about the all star stuff and it's getting annoying. Last year he was whining about how he didn't make it and deserved it, then ended up getting put on as an injury replacement. This year he's kinda doing the same thing and saying he won't go to Toronto for other activities unless he's put on the team.

    I haven't compared stats or anything but Klay deserves it more anyways simply cuz what the Warriors are doing could be the best season ever and Klay's a big part of it, nights like last night when Curry is off, Klay steps up big and leads them to a W.
