Luka Punts the ball last night - thrown out of the game versus Indiana. 1st T for ing. 2nd T for being stupid and kicking a ball in the stands. Still in'.
Sadly All Star appearances can make or break HOF status. LMA is on the cusp, I hope he gets the nod this year. If Conley played for the Lakers, he would have multiple appearances by now.

Robinson is the perfect Center for today’s NBA. He could run with and defend guards all the way out to the three point line, and could draw fouls getting position easily under today’s rules. Pelicans with the Admiral today would be the 2 seed in the West.
Zach LOLowe will be back on the nuts when the Spurs have another quick, dominant spurt in the spring and every "expert" will play the "no one should ever discount the Spurs because they're the Spurs eventhough I wrote them off six times already this season" card they always play to save face per par this entire decade.
Give them the rest, could be the difference between a seven game first round elimination and getting to the second round with a puncher's chance.
Looks like Lowe was right on this one. I'd much rather have Harris than DeRozan. Aldridge and Harris is a lot closer, but lamarcus hasn't been clearly better than Harris.
Nope, no all stars here.
Then u have them grossly miscalculated.... Especially LMA
True. He's ok for his age but nothing real special and the mavs aren't even good.
He's 19...How many rookies his age did you see doing better than Doncic? Or rookies of any age...
Mavs are bad regardless.
Buy yourself a new brain and then re-read what I wrote.
his ing is annoying but in that game he should have ed even more. The refs were pathetic.
U said they dont care...u are wrong
U guys are insane...
Dude, you missed the "buy yourself a new brain" part.
gotta at least give LA a spot, he deserves it
Then in today's post, Lowe gives the last spot to Aldridge.

You could pick any of them. The easiest solution is to fall back on team record. San Antonio has been the best team among this group by both record and point differential. New Orleans is 22-25, but they have the scoring margin of a team almost on San Antonio's level; their disastrous performance in close games is killing them.
You could justify taking two Pelicans by arguing their team is roughly as good as the Spurs and Clippers -- and that they are only that good because of Davis and Holiday. But they are 22-25, and Holiday is an ugly 10-of-34 in the last five minutes of games when the score is within five points. Sure, the sample size is small. A half season -- the period in question here -- is a small sample by definition.
The old-school part of my soul likes the idea of going with wins when there is almost nothing else to separate borderline candidates. Aldridge is one of the league's great "raise your floor" players. You can't sniff championship contention if he's your best player. You might not even be able to crack 50 wins anymore, regardless of what players 2-15 look like. Doncic's core, built-out skill set is much more valuable than Aldridge's. But Aldridge is a two-way stabilizer who guarantees a certain level of competence.
If Holiday were to carry the Pelicans to a good record in this stretch without Davis, I would probably flip him for Aldridge. But deadlines are deadlines.
Last two in
Westbrook
Aldridge
respect the...
lmao
so if pelis end up with a record almost as good as spurs then pels should get 2 all stars and spurs 0
respect the...Lowe had him in. Hope he makes it.
Close thread.
Been saying it since December: Spurs will have no one at the All Star game in any capacity. Maybe a former Spur like Tony or DRob for the celebrity stuff but that'll be it.
all star game hasn't been interesting since 2000.
Any chance Derrick White plays in the rookie game?? Or whatever it’s called now I think US born players vs international players
He should definitely get in.
