BS... No Davis or Cousins In Starting Lineup for West Allstars

[matthend]

Honestly it sucks for Boogie, AD, and Wall. That said, all of us have no reason to complain after the fact. we just should have voted more.

Apparently it could cost Davis up to $23 million per this article. Davis should have been an obvious choice, and would have been had the voting been done by players/coaches.

I can't see him being left all 3 of the All NBA teams. As long as he gets one of those he still gets his money.

Fans do this kind of thing all the time. I think in baseball one year, Reds fans stuffed the ballot box to such an extent that nearly every player in the starting lineup was a Reds player. And the Reds were having a losing season at the time.

Davis may be one of the top 5 players in the league, and one of the top players people say you start a franchise with. Cousins is the best center in basketball and neither one of them starting is a joke. Agree with Stephen A Smith about Cousins. He thinks it's an absolute joke Cousins is not starting center. Instead they have like 3 point guards, a two, and a 3 starting for the west.

Unless Davis makes one of the all NBA teams this year this will cost him around 24 mil. Granted he's not going broke anytime soon, but that's a lot of cash.

Why do people care? The NBA is by far the most most forgotten pro sport there is. It's been a joke going on 10 years now.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

fan voting is absolutely stupid. Let the media and coaches vote the players in... guys that actually deserve it based on their play.

The media and coaches have axes to grind too. They would still leave people off.

forgotten,? Ice hockey, bruh

 

[throatpoker]

if wall's teammates weren't trash he would be a starter. he has something like 19 assists per game including gimme misses by his teammates. that number is way above any other point guard in the league

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Where do find that wall stat? And yes that roster is crap..not one guy,well maybe beal,would any team line up for.

 

[JohnKBA]

Threads like this are what make our fanbase look like a bunch of misinformed idiots - which most of you obviously are.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Fan voting ............lol I agree some should be voted to be on the team but to start is crazy

The top 5 in potential assists per game are
Rondo
Wall
Cp3
Westbrook
Rubio

There was a big push to get Zaza Pachulia voted in by people in his native country of Georgia, along with an assist by Wyclef Jean. It almost worked, but he fell 14,000 votes short. We should do this for all UK players next year, and try to get an all former UK starting lineup.

West Starters:

Curry
Westbrook
Kobe
Durant
Leonard

I don't give a damn if it is Kobe's last year or not. Him being a starter is stupid. But if fans vote him in then you shouldn't have 2 other SF's as your front court.

Hope the East goes big and bullies them.

That didn't work for the Cavs in the finals last year.

 

[UKgreatinmyveins]

Don't be dense. Kobe got in because he is a multi time champ, former MVP and it's his last year. I have no problem with it. If Pelicans and Kings were top 8 in the West one of them at least get in

Kobe should man up and give up his starting position. He knows it, you know it.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Rondo has an argument as well for a spot. The PG positions are just so stacked right now.

NBA All Star voting has always been one of the most crazy things in sports. The fans NEVER get it right. Sports writers/coaches should vote them in, not the fans. Cousins is averaging 30 points a game in the last 2 months, and he is not a starter??? That's a joke. But, its screwed up how they structure the voting too. They take the 1 and 2 guards in one spot, and the post players in another. It should be broke down into guards, forwards and centers. There are basically no big 7 foot centers in the lineups. Lots of glaring omissions, the way they do it, we end up with a ton of small forwards. Its jacked up
