If Pop is the coach I know he won't pick Tony, lol. It is a pseudo respect thing but the Spurs seem beyond it so, so am I. I would prefer all the Spurs get the rest over useless All Star Weekend, if another Spur were to make the team I would prefer it be LMA, so he knows that he didn't sacrifice all notoriety to be a Spur and get championships. For me two Spurs is enough and if they want 5 Dubs on the team let em have it. I am an Alabama fan and went to school there. We didn't get our first Heisman until Mark Ingram a few years back and got another this year but those personal awards never matter in the end it is always about championships. It's Bama's mindset, it is the Spur mindset, it's a champions mindset. No butthurt Spurs whining about snubs, just happy to have some rest, IF Duncan or TP got selected though they would never admit it, they would be secretly pissed. especially Timmy.
Harden no d and shots 30 perfect not an Allstar
If the Spurs get 3 All-Stars then the Warriors have to get 3 also. That only leaves room for 5 non-Kobe players. I'm not seeing it.
If the Spurs and Warriors had records befitting their respective point differentials (i.e. Spurs 38-5, Warriors 36-7), then I think Parker is an All-Star and the Warriors only get two. At least in my opinion, Parker has been better than Klay Thompson this season. For example, Parker's WS/48 is 0.211, Thompson's is 0.145.
Do the coaches have all the way until Thursday to make their picks for the reserves? If so, a decent to convincing Spurs win over the Warriors on Monday might tip the scales.
It also sucks that the Spurs and Warriors are objectively better than the teams before them that had 4 All-Stars, but these two will likely get 5 between them.
I'd be absolutely shocked if SA gets 3 all-stars...it'll be either Parker or LMA, and it honestly wouldn't be that shocking if neither of them make it (I'd be more surprised if both make it than if neither do). If I had to guess, I'd say Aldridge will get in.
GS will unfortunately almost certainly get 3 since people still think Klay is some massively important piece to their team...really don't think he deserves it though.
I think LA deserves it more. I also think he would care more about it. Parker is way beyond that at this point in his career, imho.
Isn't Pop a lock to coach the team?
If so, either LMA will get in, or only Kawhi.
This is a great idea! He SHOULD be an all star. Who cares if he hurts his hip further? At least generic Spurfan will be happy to see more Spurs on the roster. Playoffs be damned!!
LMA will be an all-star pretty much for sure.
LMA should be named a reserve over TP
:lol
:lol
Spurs fans...gotta love em all
Parker has been more instrumental this year than aldridge. Most advanced stats prove that tbh. The two players opposing teams gameplan against are parker and kawhi
this thread was made a few weeks after i made mine saying we should trade him. back when had trade value.
