DeMarcus Cousins=all-star?

[LeBron 06]

23 ppg this year and he has 31 points after 3 quarter in Indiana...I think he deserve to be a all-star this year!

[Black and White]

He is playing great this year, and I hope he makes it but,

Howard
Griffin
Durant
LMA
Love
and possibly Dirk

are all ahead of him in the frontcourt

[Lebron23]

Yes

[iTare]

Boogie should definitely be an all star !

[Genaro]

He's playing amazing but West is stacked, I don't know if he will get the nod (mainly because his team has a losing record)

[Uncle Drew]

No doubt.

[Cold soul]

He should make it.

[Leftimage]

Yes. Besides, franchise could use a proverbial hug after it's recent ''bout with illness''. Hopefully the new owner will do what's necessary to give those loyal fans some much deserved playoff action in the years to come.

[crunk-juice]

in a 20 point loss


stop the presses, never seen this before.

[Im Still Ballin]

so much for Roy Hibberts elite defense... DMC took him to town tonight

Yet the Kings lost by 24.

[Im Still Ballin]

Stats are stats. Elite defensive centers dont let their opponent drop 30+ with 50%+ fg seeming as Roy played on Demarcus most of the night

[GOBB]

It would be criminal if he was not an All Star. Roy has to sleep on his stomach the way Boogie tore his ass up. :bowdown:

[IncarceratedBob]

Absolutely

did you watch the game?


it's not like he was working Hibbert

[All Net]

Problem is how deep the west is and his team's record isn't really good enough.

considering most of his damage in the 3rd wasn't on one on one plays...i wouldn't make that statement. He outplayed him sure but the points weren't him killing hibbert.

[JohnFreeman]

Pretty much. Hopefully he is in the conversation for most improved

[navy]

He plays on a terrible team.

[All Net]

Pretty much. Hopefully he is in the conversation for most improved

certainly has a good shot. he is playing amazing ball.

[GOBB]

Why does team record have to factor in All Star selections? All Star should be purely individual performance.

It was on nbatv.

Should but never is...as people use how bad a team is to show how the numbers don't mean as much.

[no pun intended]

what exactly is shaq's relationship to demarcus cousins?

[JohnFreeman]

what exactly is shaq's relationship to demarcus cousins?

Don't think they have one. Think Shaq might have told him to get it together though.

[FaceSmack]

His stats are godly at the moment and he's really improved in different facets in his game

BUT you can only have so much All-Stars from non-playoff teams

IMO that would be between Love, Cousins and Anthony Davis

Pretty sure Love will get in. I'd bank on Davis to be selected over Cousins

Shame. Because all 3 deserve to be on the team

[no pun intended]

Don't think they have one. Think Shaq might have told him to get it together though.
oh okay, i know that hes supposedly his mentor, but don't know what exactly being a "mentor" entails

[andremiller07]

They basically just communicate daily according to Cousins, no actual coaching goes on like say what Hakeem does with Dwight, Shaq said he wanted to help him with the mental side of the game.

[JohnFreeman]

oh okay, i know that hes supposedly his mentor, but don't know what exactly being a "mentor" entails

I think boog said Shaq never contacted him, when Shaq said he would. Although I think Shaq definetly had a talk to him.

[Xiao Yao You]

Hard to make it when your team sucks.

[Dro]

No, they obviously did not watch the game...Hibbert is one of the main reasons the Kings couldn't get into the paint on offense..But this is ish where folks look at box scores instead of the game....Cousins got NOTHING easy.. and he got maybe 10-12 points on putbacks because Hibbert rotates on defense they way an ELITE, DEFENSIVE CENTER is supposed to. He also scored on a few more baskets from dish offs when Roy helps...He was BALLIN like he's supposed to, he's a beast..So next time Durant scores 30+ on Lebron, lets just say Lebron aint sh*t defensively....ISH is annoying..you mofos are supposed to know your basketball but you don't know sh*t...

[EllEffEll]

Didn't see the game tonight, but from what I have seen of him this season, I wouldn't have too much problem if he did make the team in some capacity. He seems to be headed in a good direction from where he was a couple years ago.

The ASG could use some new faces too :pimp:

[highwhey]

If he stops complaining to refs on every missed scoring opportunity, sure

[vinsanity2756]

Cousins deserves it and so does pekovic, look at the numbers. Unfortunately with this format of 3 forwards, neither will probably get a selection.

[Milbuck]

This new format is such horse****. Now one of PG, Melo, or Lebron is gonna screw Sanders out of a starting spot :facepalm

[Andy Hug]

Namaste, India!

[Xiao Yao You]

They are both on losing teams so it's unlikely that they make it. Best bigs should make it regardless if they are a 4 or 5 and most of the best are 4's.

[JohnFreeman]

Stupid that it is done off team performance. F*ck casual fans. Lin making the All star team? Shoot me now.

dmc should be an all-star for sure. godly numbers.

[InspiredLebowski]

Should be, he's the best offensive big in the league by a fairly large margin

[moe94]

Should he be an all-star? He should be starting.

[SHABBA]

Correct.
