Aldridge is out for 6-8 weeks so the odds of Timmy making it now are quite high? Yes or no?
It would tie him with Malone for the 3rd oldest player to ever get selected. With Kareem and Jordan being 1 and 2.

Please no.
Let him stay home with the kids.
The National Media have been on the "Kawhi is the spurs best player" bandwagon..
he's not going to make it over his own teammate kawhi Leonard specially after a poor performance on National TV.
He probably deserves it for still being ultra efficient at his age but better to just stay at home and rest
Oh Jesus Christ, they are not even competing for the same position.Quote:

I hope not. He needs time off, tbh.
Just let him rest, peeople already gave him the back in 2012.
So you want KL to replace Aldridge? You want him to risk a hand injury in a game that does absolutely nothing to our record?Quote:

Why do I even bother with you?
He should go, just so he can at least have one game this season with an above average PG next to him...
Dirk.
Nah let dirk have it
Even if he goes he will probably just play 2-3 mins and run down the court 4-5 times and call it a night.
No please. He needs to rest at home.
Ya but its still the plane flights, suiting up, warm ups, getting nauseated watching Kirby etc.Quote:

Agree with the "stay home and rest" posters.

You can make an argument for either one being worthy to get in.Quote:

I hope he gets to stay at home. Same goes for Leonard.
Obviously, timmy has a good chance to make his 15th time All Star apperance with Lamarcus Aldridge's sidelne. The whole world agrees on picking James Harden, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, Lamarcus Aldridge and Demarcus Cousins to the West All Star Reserves.
The remaining 2 positions will be fought by Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki, Russel Westbrook , Kevin Durant as well as Timmy Duncan,
I don't want any Spurs to go, not to the game not to any of the silly competitions(3pt, skills, slam dunk lol). Stay home rest and get focused for the second half of the season and playoffs.
DNP: Old
Just about all of these guys have Duncan on their list

Nice that he is getting recognition but I hope he doesn't make it unless he's guaranteed no more than a minute of playing time. :lol
Some CBS experts picked only Duncan from the San Antonio Spurs team as probable reserve.
They are the reigning champs. And Aldridge's injury will increase his chances of getting an invite.
He will be there.
Well Kerr is going to be the coach and given his respect for Pop and the Spurs, I'm sure he'd be very accommodating about giving Duncan as few or as many minutes as Duncan wanted.Quote:

Rumor :Tim Duncan will replace Lamarcus Aldridge for the reserve
I think he's going to go unfortunately.
I think Timmy and Pop would disagree with you. The ASG is one event way from a 3 ring circus.Quote:

Playing 15 minutes during a one week break isn't going to kill him.
Tim would do it for the fans. Just make a guest appearance... he wont say no
actually this isnt a fan vote. I would be happy if he rested
Duncan is making his 15th.time appearance
Who will pick the replacement for Kobe?
Commissioner or Kerr?
Duncan not being selected last year was a great blunder by the NBA. The league knows it, Duncan knows, Pop, everyone. They all have their own reasons for not acknowledging the elephant in the room.
Duncan is way too proud to complain. But don't believe for a minute that the was glad just to take the weekend off. Duncan knows the history of the NBA way more than most payers and he cares about his place in it.
The All Star Game is a joke but making the All Star team matters. People seem to confuse the two.
Kerr picks who starts, the commish pick the roster replacement.Quote:

Duncan to turn down ASG bid to attend backyard BBQ with Joey Crawford.
Film at 11.
Honestly just curious, what makes you think Pop would not rather he avoid injury in a meaningless game or that Tim would not rather spend the extra time with his kids?Quote:

Looks like Duncan has made the All-Star team for the 15th time!
I remember Tim taking his daughter to a game (before his son was born) and talking about how cool it was that his daughter could see her dad's picture on the side of a building.Quote:

:lol 10mins in the All Star game will be fine tbh.
Congrats to the best player of his generation......
