1st All-Star Voting Returns

[sasaint]

Great post but the rest of the NBA would laugh at you guys grandiose perception of him. I desire to have a level objectivity to my fandom that most of you are unable or unwilling to have.

Surprised that you didn't cite the infamous Dirk foul by Manu. Tbh, I don't have a score card; I couldn't tell you game-by-game, season-by-season or playoff-by-playoff when Manu has delivered more good than bad or vice versa. His entire career he has been a "Oh no, don't...Yes, great play!" kind of player. I have thrown more figurative shoes at my TV because of his bone-headed turnovers, but also leaped out of my seat more for some of his astounding passes or drives than I have any other player ever. As Pop says, "He's Manu Ginobili." Like Pop, we have learned to live with it.

George Karl system stats tbh.. He made Lawson look like a PG Ironically, both are team cancers & Rondo kills ball movement.

[TheGreatYacht]

Btw y'all MF's need to start voting. Instead of being on whataburger.com all day.

LMAlpha took a paycut, is sacrificing individual numbers, and is playing the best defense of his life. Get that man in there

go a pig farm hand.

Your mother is busy right now tbh.

Would be hilarious if Kiwi beats Draymond Green again

Matt Moore would kill himself tbh.

[Shastafarian]

Cavs and/or OKC may very well have better records than us by that time.

I can see the headline now, "David Blatt Breaks Rules to Coach Western Conference in All-Star Game"

I expect the Spurs to start losing soon... a lot.

Can you stop being a Spurs fan then? Root for the Mavs or something.

[YGWHI]

Probably since the NBA didn't want him taking a spot from Westbrook or Curry.

Agree. But Iguodala as guard? He's a SF...

Whoops... I brainfarted on that one. Christmas break please?

[Spurtacular]

These sports leagues love their popularity contests.

[SupremeGuy]

Since when is Kobe in the frontcourt?

Honestly, like what the ?

[siraulo23]

Voting for individual players on nba.com is horrible, wtf did they do. Sorted alphabetically, you gotta scroll through hundreds of players to pick who you want to vote

that, google vote 10 spurs takes 15 secs

[Johnny RIngo]

steeledl ting up another thread. Sucking Kobe's while trashing a Spur legend like Manu. No coincidence this re is a Tony Parker player fan.

[raybies]

Minnesota got Kevin Love to start in the All Star game. If they can do it, we definitely should. Our fans are better aren't they. Starters are picked by the fans. We can do better. He's fourth. We can easily get him in, in appreciation. I'm gonna start voting everyday, make a thread, and try to get pounding the rock guys and 48 moh to post. Someone's gotta do it. Kawhi is too good and he deserves it. And it's so easy to vote. Alot of people are being lazy. kawhi has single handedly saved this team from being a playoff team that doesn't go far.

Interesting to see what they do with the Western Conference HC position if GS and the Spurs are still 1-2 on the cutoff date. Kerr was the HC for the West last year and they normally have the HC of the second place team coach rather than have someone coach in consecutive years. So what will they do if Kerr hasn't returned by that date? I imagine that Pop would just as soon have the week off, but it is something to watch.

lol gt

[Spurs 4 The Win]

He has often been a liability. Single handed costing us the series in the first series against the Heat. He has just been more bad than good most of the last 6 or 7 years in the playoffs. He costed us series he shouldn't have if he were as elite as most of you always suggested. Not to say he isn't an all time great spur and HOF due to his international success... He is just overrated in this forum and by most Spurs fans. You dudes acted like he was d wade or Kobe when that was just pure stupidity .

Stop sniffing paint chips kids or you will end up like this guy

[apalisoc_9]

San Antonio is piss poor with player support tbh. Someone like TD should regularly get 500k in votes.every year.

Kawhi is having an MVP season and still trails Griffin.



Empty seats, all star support etc. SA Is a piss poor sport city.

[cjw]

There's a difference between empty seats and unsold seats. When you have a successful franchise, ownership is able to get companies to pony up for seats so they have them for the biggest games. Means more may go unused. That's not to say they're not getting sold. Season tickets this year fully sold out.

Not to mention in the expensive seats, you can spend a lot more time in the lounges / boxes, especially for a RS game. Not sure how they're set up at the renovated AT&T center but on the few occasions I've scored my company's tickets at MSG (typically a Saturday afternoon meaningless college b-ball game), there are seats on the floor and a box under them at floor level. That's where you get all the free food and booze.

On voting, SA doesn't do all these silly campaigns that other teams do, either for ASG or end of season awards. Remember how teams like the Clippers sent care packages around for DJ DPOY?

Kawhi's a lock for the all star game as a coach's selection, so the voting stuff doesn't matter to me at all. Apolisoc, as a player fan, is naturally all caught up in popularity contests, media attention, & glitz. His persona is the diametrical opposite of Pop, Tim, Kawhi, Manu, etc... which is what makes him so annoying.

Well, you are partially correct. That is ONE of the things that make him so annoying.

But there are so many others...

I knew it was too good to be true that he would actually stay away after saying he would ( kinda like him swearing that he would 'never post again' if Kawhi didn't score something like 29 points one night?) Kawhi didn't but Apo never blinked....just keeps coming back.

Most recently AGAIN announced he was leaving the forum, only to be back in a week!

It was kind of nice to have civil discourse in the games when he was gone, though. Pleasant break.

[spursistan]

Griffin will be overtaken in votes, but i see Draymond or AD making the jump to the starting lineup..the next update will tell if Kawhi has a chance to make it straight out of direct fan votes..
