I just asked a very simple, clear and concise question and I don't know why BR won't address it? It's like his is furious or something and he can't even see it cause he is so angry.
Son, tell the truth... you're just mad that Capt West didn't make the cut...
Do you think that points should be weighted heavier than winning, defense, rebounding, steals, assists and blocks combined? Regardless of minutes?
Sons where my boy West at?
Only points? No. If that was the case, Kevin Martin would definitely be an all star.
So then what is the case for Dirk being a shoe in and Duncan not deserving it if Duncan beats Dirk in every single category I mentioned above?
Red, your sig is in'.
The "plays less minutes" excuse is laughable and shows just how fragile, weak, and fallen off Duncan truly is. The truth is that if he actually played legit minutes his numbers would be down even more because of how out of shape and weak he has become over the last few years. Why should other, youbger players be punished for playing more minutes and working twice as hard as Duncan? Even if Duncan played the same amount of minutes there is still noway in he would be able to put up Griffin or Love's numbers...or Dirks
cause scoring over 23 with 52% FG > all those other statistics
and ofcourse we are not even mentioning the advanced statistics which truly dominate decision making today, like PER, efficiency, Win Shares, +/-, TS%, usage rate and such. Cause if we were to, we would be comparing players from two different planets.
Sons go sleep it off somewhere.
Calm down son, why you mad?
It's the coaches that made the selections, not us. You should ask Monty next time you see him why he voted for him...
Ok, but even in less minutes, Duncan beats Dirk in Rebounding, Assists, Steals, Blocks and Defense and his team has the number one record in the league (that is playing with a bunch of guys whom you say don't even deserve to be all-stars).
That is not taking into consideration minutes. That argument is out the window. So what now?
Can you make an argument that doesn't make you look incredibly upset
Dumb. Advanced stats actually support the pro-Duncan argument.
Not really. Tim is top 20 in PER. Has Dirk beat in defensive win shares amongst other metrics. Tim is leading the league in point differential defensively when he is on the court vs off it.
Of course Dirk is more efficient and a better scorer, but that's it. Your argument doesn't hold water. It really boils down to people thinking points is greater than the sum of winning, defense, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks combined.
Duncan got in out of pitty. Plain and simple. like this tarnishes the game because there are dozens of players more deserving of that spot.
Ok, it's official. BR ignoring blatant FACTS and just posting out of sheer anger. I'll let you be man. I don't want you going all crazy or anything. It's just a stupid All-Star game.
lol dozens
BR...weren't you begging for the nets to get rid of west just a couple of months ago?
Weren't you constantly raggin' on him and throwing him under the bus?
Do you actually expect that drunken jackass to remember back that far?
Hopefully this is his one and only pity vote, Duncan should be embarrassed to show his face with those All-Stars.
Dont blame the coaches, blame the chinese. If fans voted in Pao, or Duncan at center coaches wouldnt of had to select Tim ...as for is he deserving? They do deserve 2 all-stars if Celts deserve 4 ... I would argue Tony Parker but 2 spurs seems legit.
Great argument
When I see someone being a big homer I have learned not to argue with them. Its never ends good.Good argument
