First off, voting ends Monday the 21st. DeMarcus has now fallen to 8th in West Frontcourt voting as of now. I made a thread about 3-4 weeks ago reminding BBN to vote for Cousins, Wall and Davis everyday and I made sure to bump it everyday. I stated last week that DMC was in danger of falling to 8th because Dwight Howard was closing in and I have begged the board to vote. But for the most part it seems likely most of the posters don't care and it's pretty sad IMO.
The fan vote only counts towards starters but you can pretty much tell from the fan vote who will make it. Each team has 3 frontcourt starters, 3 reserves, and then there's 2 players that can be picked from either the front or backcourt. So there's a minimum of 6 slots and a maximum of 8 slots for DMC. Davis, Gasol, Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge, Durant, Duncan and Howard are all ahead of DMC in fan votes. So Davis, Griffin and Gasol are locks in the top 3 spots since they're starters. I'd almost guarantee Aldridge makes it. So that 4 spots gone with only 2-4 left for 4 guys. Now most likely the coaches won't use both of the 2 all purpose spots for frontcourt players. The West has too many guards, so at the most that leaves 3 spots for 4 guys.
3 spot for Durant, Duncan, Howard and DMC. Cousins has been the best of the 4 this year. Will the coaches do the right thing and leave of Durant and Duncan due to not playing most of the year and not having good enough numbers respectively? Or will they make the game due to who they are. It won't surprise me to see both make it but i think the coaches might leave off Durant since he has missed most every game so far. But I'd also guess they pick Duncan for lifetime achievement. So that's another spot gone leaving at most 2 spots for maybe Dwight and DMC. If Durant is left off and that happens then DMC makes it. But with the West being loaded with guards it wouldn't surprise me at all if the coaches use both of the 2 all purpose picks for guards. Which means there's 1 spot for Howard and DMC. Everybody knows who deserves it but Howard had put up very good numbers even though they're inferior to Cousins' plus Howard is a leader on one of the best teams in the league. Those two facts are what makes me think Howard gets that last spot. Once again for the second straight year leaving DMC out of the game when he should have made it.
LeBron , Curry and Davis are the leading vote getters all around a million votes a piece. Calipari has 1.3 million twitter followers. If Cal had just sent a tweet pleading his followers to vote for DMC then he might be starting, let alone just making the game. I asked Cal to do it but he never did. Maybe he didn't wanna show favortism to one of his former guys over others, I don't know.
I just know that there is 3 Days left to vote and we have let DeMarcus down for the second straight year. That guy gave us everything his had while he was here. We have had many Cal guys love UK and this state in general and DeMarcus might love us more than anybody. He comes back and he talks about Kentucky a lot. It's just a shame that he isn't starting in the game like he rightfully should. But it's down right infuriating that he's on the chopping block to miss the gameu. The current voting returns are linked. Everybody please vote until voting ends on Monday. Do it for DMC. He did a ton for us. It's the least we could do for him. Vote thru texts, Facebook, twitter, Instagram and the NBA game time app.
Thank you.
