Randle will be replaced

[Real Men Wear Green]

Embiid and Randle will likely have to be replaced. Porzingis may have missed too many games but I'm still holding a little hope for Derrick White.

[FultzNationRISE]

Towns and Davis over Sabonis is embarrassing. I'd take Ingraham over PG as well.


Julius Randle over Porzingis??

That is stunningly terrible.

Wolves are best team in the conference. Towns over Gobert :facepalm

[Duffy Pratt]

So the Kings get no all stars and the Lakers get two? Pretty silly. It’s also absurd that the roster is still only 12, but frankly the whole game is absurd at this point. Haven’t watched one in years — can’t stomach more than a couple of minutes of it.

Yeah I can't remember the last time I watched the game. I agree there should be more spots.

[Street Hunger]

What about Trae Young

[FultzNationRISE]

What about Trae Young

Snubbed for Jaylen Brown for some reason.

[Kblaze8855]

With the best Players on several good teams not making it I don’t see them replacing the two injured guys with a third pick from the top seeds. You get one or two spots for the team being really good. Three? It better be three people who would automatically make it on their own teams for basketball reasons like the big three heat or something.

For that reason I figure one of the two good Kings options gets a spot out west replacing whoever doesn’t show(Davis?). Not sure in the East. With them going back to East versus West they may have to choose it by conference instead of just throwing in whoever they want like they’ve been able to do lately.

If they have to do it by conference I suppose Trae maybe Allen if they need a frontcourt guy

[Xiao Yao You]

:lol

What a tough night for this troll.

sorry to hear that. Maybe someone will score some points to lift your spirits

[Xiao Yao You]

Snubbed for Jaylen Brown for some reason.

The Hawks sucking isn't enough reason?

[Real Men Wear Green]

I think Porzingis would have made it but he's missed 14 games. I'm not really going to argue that White is better than whoever, I just hope he makes it.

Timberwolves' All-Star selections show that the NBA doesn't value defense (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/timberwolves-all-star-selections-show-that-the-nba-doesn-t-value-defense/ar-BB1hDKnr?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=db98a0428a3c4824a446e051fdb7afba&ei=35)

the Wolves' rise to the top of the West has been driven by their defense, which is No. 1 in defensive rating. They hold opponents to the fewest points in the NBA, the worst shooting percentage on two-pointers and give up the fewest rebounds.

All those are primarily due to the efforts of center Rudy Gobert, the three-time All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year. He's averaging 13.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while maintaining a miniscule defensive rating of 104 points per 100 possessions.Not only is Gobert the anchor of the Wolves defense, he's also its designer. Gobert was inspired to rework Minnesota's defensive schemes during a 64-hour darkness retreat (https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-timberwolves-rudy-gobert-darkness-retreat-nba-season-preview/600313841/).

Racist shit.

[Kblaze8855]

Reserves are voted on by the coaches, who are about the only group of people that actually does care about defense. Doesn’t mean they rank every defensive specialist At the top of the league. I wouldn’t mind seeing the voting though. I wonder who is next in the front court. Sabonis?

[Manny98]

I would have picked Barnes over Banchero and I assume Porzingiz didn't play enough games to qualify

[bluechox2]

Pingis tingus missed manyy games and is playing with a cushion surrounded by stars....randle putting up monster numbers better than pingus tingus and 2nd leading star for his team...pingus is like a role player

[bluechox2]

barnes playing like ass since the trade

[FultzNationRISE]

I guess thats fair about Big Pingis missing a bunch of games, his minutes are also on the low side when he does play.

Just feels like Randle is a stretch, he’s kinda just ass. Guess the East is just thin on frontcourt stars.

[John8204]

I'd like to see Jimmy Butler take Randle's spot because I mean we all know whats going to happen in May

[Phoenix]

No De'Aron Fox or Sabonis is quite the choice.

[SaltyMeatballs]

Sabonis is averaging a near triple double (20/13/8), is 7th on the MVP ladder, and leading the Kings to one of the top records in the West and still wasn't named an all-star??? That's one of the biggest snubs ever

[Axe]

Westbrook should have been on the list. A braindead psychopath kept on whining that he's an all-star with the lakers a few years ago. :lol

[fsvr54]

The only snub was someone from the Kings.

Lakers as a sub-.500 10th seed do not deserve two players at all. Should've just been AD.

Here are a few stats about Markkanen:


Markkanen is fifth in the conference in Inpredictable’s Win Probability Added (http://stats.inpredictable.com/nba/ssnPlayer.php) stat. The only players he trails are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (All-Star starter), Steph Curry (All-Star reserve), Kevin Durant (All-Star starter) and Nikola Jokic (All-Star starter).
He’s still ninth in Estimated Plus-Minus at Dunks and Threes (https://dunksandthrees.com/epm).
He has the 12th highest VORP and the 8th highest WS/48.
He’s one of four players in the Western Conference (Jokic, Durant and Kawhi Leonard being the other three) who average at least 23 on 59% effective field goal percentage or better.
Of the NBA’s 53 20ppg scorers, only SGA and Tyrese Haliburton (both All-Star starters) have a higher point per shot attempt figure than Markkanen, per Cleaning the Glass.

They replaced two bigs with two guards??

Also, are replacement selections contractually obligated to play? I sure enough wouldnt even accept a replacement slot if I didnt get voted on in the first place. Id rather just have the weekend off.

Barnes will be there for sure. 1st time. Shit Trae might win a game if he shows up. Doesn't happen often with the Hawks

Nobody is skipping their first all star weekend for a weekend off. A lot of people never make it back.

Nick Van Exel says making the '98 All-Star team was BS: " Shaq went down, and we were able to keep that going" (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nick-van-exel-says-making-the-98-all-star-team-was-bs-shaq-went-down-and-we-were-able-to-keep-that-going/ar-BB1hRiip?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=23111b5172b64cf9a588c4297f337e55&ei=15)

Respect! It was definitely a joke

[Axe]

We were once told by a braindead casual that this guy would be an all-star this year. Where tf is he rn tho. :lol

Kawhi should have been a starter. Definitely deserved it over LeBron and AD. Sabonis was big snub. Tells ya the basketball IQ of the average fan ...

df are you face palming for, Banchero isn't even the best player on his team
