Monta Ellis...

I would say he plays on a team which has a smallish fanbase. GSW has done nothing to gain exposure, no Playoff appearances at all, nothing that would draw fans towards them and their players.
 
isn't an all star bur Dirk and Nash are??

What does he have to do!!! He gets snubbed out every year!!

yeah I too am unsure about Dirk.... Nash I think definately deserves to be there. Again averaging a double double.

I do agree though, and the size of the fanbase should have nothing to do with being an all star or not.

GSW are on TNT (national America TV channel) heaps of times during the season!! It's an all star game, about players, team records shouldn't pay any part in picking. Also GSW Average 18,668 fans a game, 10th in the NBA.

Deron Williams plays for Nets (I love you with all my heart D-Will (no homo) your my fav player) and they got no national TV games and are second last in attendance. So seeing NJ don't have a big fan base d-will shouldn't be in it?
 
The only way Monta could have got in would have been at the expense of either Westbrook, Nash or Parker!

Nash and Parker are more than just scorers.... they are leaders! When TP has a 40 pt game, the Spurs come away with a win because he drives the rest of the team at the same time. Nash is very much the same.

Monta has been explosive this year, but has also shown some of weaknesses at he same time. I think not making it this year will do him good and make him work on the few things he still needs to so he can be an all-star next yer.


Dirk hasn't played well in a fair few games this year, but neither have the rest of the Mavs. He is still, IMO, the hardest forward in the league to match up on as well as having the most undefendable (if that's a word) jump shot in the NBA! There are very few people that have ever had a jump shot as sweet as Dirk's, especially as a 7 footer!!!
 
Monta should've been in over Parker . It's an ALL STAR game, he's a star, we don't need leaders or any BS in an allstar game, we want a show!

Dirk gets it done. But is not going to dazzle everyone. Should've put someone else in there too

:blink:

Parker has been putting up similar numbers to Monta lately but does a LOT more work in running the team than Monta does!

When Monta had 48 the other day, he had only 2 assists!
When TP had 42 the other day, he also had 9 assists!

Monta 33pts vs Utah... only 2 assists
TP 37 pts vs Philly..... 8 assists

There is more to the game than just points!!! And TP has been doing those other things better than Monta!!!
 
unfortunately for you Monta fans the reserves are chosen by the coaches. and they always go for players they want on their team
Monta is exciting as hell, but he's a chucker and that trait is not desirable for any coach. NBA coaches are wired to pick sensibly and would never waste a pick on someone like Monta. If they thought like us they wouldn't get to that level
we as fans had our chance to pick the dazzlers, and they are the starting 5 :thumbsup:

Amen to that!

I never said team records played a part. When did I say that?

You said, GSW have nothing to get fans to watch like make playofs etc....making playoffs all comes back to the team record
