Looks like Lamarcus made the all-star game...

[BatManu20]

Yea like I said, didn't think he was gonna make it. Lame that we only have one AS but I think they got it right tbh. Dame or Gobert not making it are bigger snubs imho.

[r0drig0lac]

meh ..

Tbh I would prefer the Spurs not play in the actual game, but the disrespect is what gets me. The first thing out of all the talking heads mouth will be the Dubs deserve because of their record, but nary one will decry the Spurs only have one with a comparable record. I hope we crush those es in the playoffs

[BillMc]

Ah, Damian Lillard snubbed again, that should have comedy value (and make LMA feel a little better)

[BatManu20]

Surprised Deandre made it over Gobert tbh.

[TD 21]

Pop more than likely won't do it, but he really should call out opposing coaches. This was supposedly the year the Spurs were going to take a step back, yet here they are, once again the only team in the same stratosphere as the Warriors, yet those pukes get 4 and they get 1? All this talk about trust, sacrifice, etc. and in the end, even for those that supposedly know the game the best, they're no different than the casual fan/majority of the media: despite all of today's information, it still comes down to counting stats and campaigning behind the scenes.

\Why is Westbrook twice as big as Draymond even though he's in the foreground?

amen but to quote Andre the Giant, the Spurs , will do their talking in the ring,( on the court). Rest up and come out thirsty for vengeance.

Hahaha I know right. Consolation prize for leaving him out of the starting lineup

Dame has not been that good this year. With his team's struggles, his lack of defense and overall ups and downs I don't think Dame was a snub. His box score is still solid overall, but I dont feel in watching him play a lot that he has been at his best

There's a guy there with a decent track record of inside sources...probably the only time I ever go to reddit is to check his updates.

Not happy or Sad about this..pretty neutral.

OP

TheSanityAnnex get in here, your reddit sauces are compromised, have any 4chan pizzas to sell?

What is truly comical is that the only starter for GS not on the All-Star team is the one that was crushing it in the fan vote.

But doze trip dubs tho dog

[TD 21]

For those with the cliché "who cares about the All-Star game?" responses, it's not about the game, it's about respect and this is yet the latest example of the Spurs PLAYERS not having as much of it as they should or we're led to believe they do.

I remember '08, Ginobili was easily a top 15 and closer to a borderline top 10 player in the league that season, yet somehow he didn't make it . . . and the big three NEVER collectively made it. Yet the Warriors, who have been relevant for a fraction of the time the Spurs have been, had to have their four stars make it and Jordan has to make it, because they had to have "one of Doc's guys", yet it's okay for the politics to not apply to the Spurs.

All this these guys try to sell the players, fans and media on, they don't adhere to themselves and they should be called on it.

Surprised Deandre made it over Gobert tbh.

- Gobert is in his first season at this level, is viewed as their 2nd best player and Jordan, who's similar, on a better team and been at this level longer, has never made it

I'm not justifying that logic, just pointing out the politics involved.

[Slippy]

LMA prolly cares more about ASG than Kawhi, tbh.

Everything thats happened since LAs gotten here including choosing the spurs suggests otherwise.

It needs to be repeated . You come to the spurs you have to be wiling to sacrifice your personal stats for team glory. . For Lamarcus its been all bout fitting in & not messing team culture.

LMA has expanded his game to the 3 point line, plays the best defense of his life, is pushing his best in assists, and has high efficiency. He's ditched the the diva act and is willing (relatively) to play some center. Only thing is he doesn't score the volume in Portland, which is understandable with less minutes and more shots going to Kawhi and others. It's necessary. It's like saying Bosh sucked in Miami because he didn't score like in Toronto. No, he like LMA, accepted the role asked of him.

Well put.

Warriors with 4. Spurs with 1. Allstar game is joke. Stopped watching a long time ago. Allstar saturday however with dunk comp & 3pooint contest is a lot more fun.

[daslicer]

As there ever been an all star average 10ppg?

Dale Davis averaged 10 points and got in the ASG in 2000. Draymond is definitely up there with worst all-star players ever.
