So, nowadays the starting lineups are:

East: Howard, Garnett, James, Wade, Kidd
West: Yao, Nowitzki, Anthony, McGrady, Bryant

[gmanrulz]

kinda weird how duncans been starting all these year and now his biggest compe ion garnett is gone and hes not starting

[Medvedenko]

That's some great starting line ups...especially in the East.
Kidd
Wade
James
KG
Howard.....damn that's a sweet starting 5

I still like this line up for the West better

Nash
Kobe
Dirk
TD
Yao...

[Kori Ellis]

Well it's not weird considering he's on the paper ballot as a center, so people in the arenas pick Yao as the center and two other forwards.

Anyway, he's always behind in the voting in the first few rounds of balloting. I think he'll pass Dirk.

[MaNu4Tres]

Everyone hear on SpursTalk should take initiative and vote for Tim, Tony, and Manu at least 2 times a day.

[Medvedenko]

Isn't he a lock to make the team......if the spurs have the best record in the West around the time the All-star team is picked I can see TP, Manu and TD all going.

[Kobulingam]

[meta2007]

Mavs players are getting more votes this year. I am surprised.

[Bruno]

Anthony and Nowitzki were really close to Duncan last year. With Duncna having a "so-so" year so far, it's possible that he didn't start thsi year.

BTW, Scola > Baron Davis.

[mbass]

Everyone hear on SpursTalk should take initiative and vote for Tim, Tony, and Manu at least 2 times a day.

Problem is you can only vote 1x in a 24 hour period.

[hsxvvd]

We gotta get him over Noheartski! 20k is not much.

[duncan228]

Problem is you can only vote 1x in a 24 hour period.

Clear your cookies and you can vote as many times as you want.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I've been voting for Tim and Bruce as forwards whenever I visited the ballot.


Spurs fans should throw away their second vote for Forwards, from now on, (no offense Bruce )so Tim can get enough to at least ensure second place given his subpar performance that other fans may notice.


I tried to write in Oberto once for center, but it didn't record.

[ArgSpursFan.]

100.000 votes for Scola. Not bad,even with the few times he gets to touch the ball or to score.

[timvp]

100.000 votes for Scola. Not bad,even with the few times he gets to touch the ball or to score.

Thank China.

[meta2007]

Scola's fans are from Argentina, Spain, China, and USA!

all NBA players have Fans around the world, not just the Int´l ones.
I bet there´s more Kobe or T-mac or Duncan fans around the world tham anybody else in the league.

[baseline bum]

Wow, the West starting lineup sucks so far. What a joke to see irk ahead of Tim and China-Doll McGrady ahead of Nash.

[meta2007]

That's a good thing. They should be very proud of themselves.

[smeagol]

I dont understand. So you're saying I'll have only one vote for Duncan in the forward position? How is that gonna help him have more votes?

[ArgSpursFan.]

Thank China.

And myself in the ST Forum.
