Unfortunately, I don't think TP deserves to be in it this season with how he's played, and it's his own fault for running himself ragged.
Not that far from the truth, good take imo.
yeah because Splitter, Green and Manu are total scrubs
Dirk definitely deserves it, he's having (or close to having) a 50/40/90 year at what, age 36/37? That's damn impressive. Cousins doesn't, mostly because of team record. I'm one of those that thinks that should count. Kinda glad Tim didn't for rest reasons, but TP definitely did deserve it. You can't go from a top 3 MVP candidate last year, to not even making the All Star game - that's nuts? Really, they should have gotten rid of some of the East players, choose captains and have them pick the teams, like a real pickup game. (I think TBJ/The Starters had that idea originally, can't remember where I heard it but it was a good idea). I mean - Joe Johnson and John Wall? They are on TERRIBLE teams and wouldn't make it in the West at all.
Manu hasn't been out for a full game and yes Green and Splitter are scrubs, with Green being the much better scrub of the two.
Agreed. He doesn't get the exposure and credit that he deserves.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't say Dirk doesn't deserve it, but I thought TD could've easily gotten the nod over him. This was far from Tim's best season, but Dirk isn't his best version either and I think the Mavs reflect that. That's all.
Parker does not deserve an All Star spot this year
Yup,looks like another le run hampered by BS euro ball
Tim should have made it
Thanks for ruining it for me
Damn was hoping he'd get snubbed and actually work on his game.
He should have gotten snubbed to rest. He really needs time off.
Wasn't having a go at you ElNono - just saying I thought Dirk probably deserved it over TD this year at least. Really, if Kobe and Chris Paul weren't taking up spots they don't deserve, maybe TD could have made it. But probably not with Cousins and Goran making good cases.
there is a difference between Dragic and Davis deserved the spot and rewarded for his mediocrity. you have 0 credibility when you speak about Parker you are at timvpdpot level... just vomiting on a player of your team
carry on

comment va la vie ?
concerned about no rest for TP... I would have preferred an all Spur snubbed roster TBH
Congratulations Tony! TP has had better seasons when he wasn't selected, but I am glad for him. He could've used the rest but it's nice to see Spurs get recognized.
I remember he was compared to Leandro Barbosa during the early part of his career. He has blown that comparison out of the water now. I think he is a lock for HoF now. Maybe not a first year elgibility guy, but he should get in...assuming he doesn't murder anyone.
Just curious, when was the last year a Spur hasn't been in the all-star game? Was it 1996, the year just before Duncan arrived?
^yes, it was 96-97, the year just before Duncan arrived. Amazingly, there have been only 2 seasons in the history of the Spurs, they have not been represented in an All-Star game, 88-89 was the the other season. This goes all the way back to their 9 ABA seasons.
Did I say anything incorrect? TP has not played at an all-star level this year. His On/Off numbers reflect this. He only received this invite because the coaches felt obligated to give one spot to the Spurs due to their record. So, yes, TP was rewarded for his mediocrity.
I'm far from a Parker hater. Anybody that knows my post history knows that I heavily criticized Ginobili this summer for his season and embarrassing Finals performance. TP, like Manu in 2012, prioritized international ball and his NBA game is suffering as a result. Hard for me to respect a Spur player that's not living up to his contract.
