Won't even win the West

Its a reach but I can see it happening, I thought the Thunder were a 100% chance of beating the Clips but my mind changed after their last game

We were missing Eric Maynor and Thabo though.

 

[kenny3011]

Thats true but I think it was more the Clippers clicking, more than the Thunder missing those 2 that made them win lol

Edit: Oh thats right, it was also Harden having a very bad night starting that lead to it as well, I guess the Thunder do need Thabo since Harden plays a lot better off the bench

He does play a lot better off the bench and because of that Cook started yesterdays game. Though Harden still played pretty average offensively, his shot seems to have gone missing a little.

Griffin is an all star starter......that's BS, should of been Love.

East-
Rose
Wade
Anthony
James
Howard

West-
Paul
Bryant
Durant
Griffin
Bynum

 

[A_Iverson_I]

I'm sure Love will be a reserve.

 

[lukesicari]

And Melo shouldn't be a starter either. Man Igoudala is playing better then him this season.

 

[A_Iverson_I]

Yeah...... not happy with Melo starting either.

 

[lukesicari]

The fans shouldn't vote. The all-star game used to be about the best and most deserving players showing off their skills to the world. Now it's just a popularity contest. It's just about the same starting 5's each year.

And scalabrine misses out again. What's up with that??!

Really? How did Bynum and Durant make their way into the team then? Blake Griffin's new too. How should Kevin Love be in the team when his team's not even .500? No way should he deserve it more than Griffin who's team is actually a playoff contender at the moment!

Clippers were not .500 when Griffin made it last season

Neither were Timberwolves? Tell me how Love deserves it more than Griffin then this season?

 

[lukesicari]

Simple: He was been playing better. He can play better D and rebound better then Blake and Love can score the outside shot more constent then Griffin can. And we can't talk about how the teams are playing because you need to remember the difference in talent on both teams

Have you not seen how selfish Love has been at times? Also that last sentence means nothing. Why do you hardly ever see players on non-playoff become MVP? With Love's stats, if he was on a playoff contending team, I would be certain he would be in MVP talk.

The Wolves are getting noticed this year though. And sometimes Griffin can also be selfish when he drives and goes for a monster dunk. All players can be selfish at times. The Wolves could make playoffs this year as well

Griffin was going to get in regardless of how the fans voted he is Sterns face (all be it a very ugly face) of the NBA and would have rigged the votes the same as the dunk contest last year anyways if the fan votes werent enough.

And as for Melo in the east.... who knows how he got there this year must have some very loyal fans
