I guess you did not read the token spur rule. Not doing great is not the same as playing like . He is playing like this year.
It's not how they are playing, it's termed that way since the Spurs are usually the best team in the league and not having atleast 1 of them in the all star game would seem weird to the media/casual fans.
Parker wasn't doing great last regular season either, he still got in.

Oh nice rule so scary
the second half of December is absolutely brutal. I do not know where Apolisoc gets the idea of an easy schedule. The way the Spurs lack determination right now we can be happy winning with 50% of these games.
All-star game is for stat padders like Kirby or Kyrie or big marketing personalities like LeBron, Melo
Not many good PGs around.. Westbrook has been injured for most of the first part of the season.
If Spurs records hold, they will be the No 1 or 2 to come out from the West.. Naturally Parker will be picked among the Spurs players.
The end of December is going to probably our toughest stretch of the regular season.
@ Den
@ Portland (B2B) (1 day rest for Portland)
Memphis
Portland (1 day rest for Portland)
Dallas (B2B) [Dalas will have 2 days rest]
LAC
OKC
@ NOH (B2B)
Houston
@ Memphis
NOP (B2B)
7-4 would be a good record given every team except OKC is above .500 and 11 games in 16 days. If we can beat Memphis then we should be able to have a 5 game winning streaking heading into Denver and would be 19-5 (791.) If that happens and the next 11 games and we go 7-4 that would put us as 26-9 (.741) but that's a tough stretch for sure.
, this season they gonna make it a one week break for the all-star weekend right ?
It's a full week this year...
Yep and it might be a full year with guys like apalisoc loool
I don't see any way in that TP ends up as the all star pg this year, and the obsession with whether or not it will happen is absurd. It will Chris Paul and Steph Curry. Pure and simple.
No biggie.

Speaking of west all-stars, which team is more likely to get an all-star this year: Spurs or Mavs? If you really look at it you might have two of the top teams in the west without any.... Meanwhile, people like Joe Johnson make it in the east.

This is where we really need to go conference-less. I guess I'd say Parker has the best shot, followed by Dirk, but there's stiff compe ion at both spots.
I don't like the NFL's all-star game, but maybe the NBA should try conference-less teams like the NFL.
I want Leonard in the all star game, not only because I think he deserves it and I'm a fan, but I want him getting those "all star calls".
Stars always get more calls compared to their unknown brethren, even rooks get less call than vets. All these other "stars" get to barrel in the line like re s and get bailed out, I want KY to have that luxury. Once he starts getting those calls, he can get to the line any time he wants.
Harden got those in 2012 without yet being named an All Star...
KL2 wants Kawhi to be an all star... No ing way
I donīt care who gets to the all-star, the most idiotic game of the year, i prefer to watch a preseason game against a random euro team than a bunch of guys playing nonsense basketball.
The only thing i would like is that no spur is selected to any of those activities, so that the NBA Champions are not represented at all and the event gets exposed for what it is. A ty commercial event that just happens to be basketball related.
We have to take it as an extra rest week for our older guys. Would do wonders.
He won't be. In fact, no one will be, unless this team improbably surges to the top of the league standings by the time the selections are made. That was the primary reason they had a representative last season (I also thought coaches wanted to reward Parker for his previous two seasons and give him the benefit of the doubt for having played in the summer).
Likely starters: Griffin, Durant, Howard, Bryant, Curry
Locks: Harden, Paul, Gasol, Davis, Aldridge
On the bubble: Nowitzki, Thompson, Westbrook, Lillard, Cousins
