Faried? Is he really having that good of a year?

 

[coolm]

Faried is amazing.

Amare I voted because I owe him.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Starting forward in Allstar game amazing?

 

[coolm]

have you been watching him play? I woulda voted Love if he'd been playing and I probably shoulda chosen Aldridge, but I like Faried's game better.

Deandre would be a decent choice too.

 

[WTSooner]

Can we let them play 10 or 15 games first?

Geez.

 

[coolm]

OK, now I've got:

West - Kobe, CP3, KD, Faried, and Blake
East - Kyrie, Rondo, Melo, LeBron, and Monroe from Detroit.

Wish I could cast a vote for Dirk to do the color commentary. Unfortunately think this will be the year his AS streak is snapped

Geez.

Was sort of wondering the same thing. Have I been asleep and the game is next week?

West starting unit will be:

Paul
Kobe
Durant
Blake
Howard

I would go for Zach Randolph over Blake but doubt it happens due to celebrity status.

Practice your FT......a lot. :vitale

I agree Zebo probably more worthy than Blake. But Blake is playing pretty well right now and he's a celebrity (like you said). I only put him on my ballot out of loyalty. But for that I'd put a couple of others in his stead.

 

[red recluse]

is there going to be a china effect with lin in houston? because he and harden might be starters.

Z-Bo is playing better; however, given Blake's celebrity status, there's no way Blake isn't starting.

 

[coolm]

new ballot:
West - KD, Faried, Rudy Gay, Chris Paul, Kobe

East - Melo, Lebron, Greg Monroe, Rondo, Kyrie Irving.

I know people may not agree about Faried and Greg Monroe ... but they are both playing excellent ball.

Was there even the slightest doubt?

Putting Faried on there doesn't make any sense. Ibaka is having a much better season than KF. Not to mention Blake, ZBo, David Lee, Duncan, Aldridge.

12 and 10 plus being a matador on defense does not an all star make.

 

[bocabull]

I just looked at the final vote totals & red recluse was right. Even with his poor play Jeremy Lin was less than 50k votes behind Chris Paul. If the Rockets improve & Lin plays a tad better the China effect will make Lin an annual starter which sucks for Westbrook who is 10 times the player.

Get ready, CoolM is pretty passionate about Faried. A "do you even watch NBA games" or "that is nonsense" type of post is around the corner.

Ibaka is a better player right now than Faried and it would be/have been silly for Faried to be on All-Star team over him.
