Will Duncan Make 1st Team, All-NBA this year?
Who can answer this question for me?

It depends on what position he'll be in.
DHoward
?
Lebron
Kobe
Paul
I'd say it's 99.999% likely.
Then again that's what Jordan said about being retired.
I think he will. He needs to beat out media darling, KG, but I think the Spurs will surge and Duncan's stats will surge as well. That's probably enough for him to make it.Will Duncan Make 1st Team, All-NBA this year?

I'm really curious about Manu as well...
he's got no chance
NBA 1st team is already set:
DHoward
KG
Lebron
Kobe
CP3
Oh yeah, I forgot about KG.
D12
KG
LB
KB24
CP3
What about Manu...maybe second team, but he'll fight Iverson for it.
2nd team:
yao
duncan
pierce
manu
nash
I doubt it, he should though but KG will get in
Still, if the Spurs win the le and Duncan performs like he probably will in the playoffs everyone will still point to him as the game's best big man and wonder why he's left off the 1st team.
don't get me wrong. Duncan >> KG even this year. but kg is media darling
Who cares. Ring counts.
I'm hoping for maximum disrespect for Duncan. Keeps him sharp for the playoffs.
How is Duncan>>KG this year. There stats are pretty close, but KG's team has a better record.
I think KG's stats are a little bit down aren't they? I'm too lazy to do the research.
And the spurs are on a hot streak right now, whos to say they don't get a better record?
To top it off I'd think number 1 in the west would mean more than number 1 in the entire league when you're from the east.
I think Amare and Duncan will battle for that 1st-Team spot.
Duncan should make the first team over Garnett.
Duncan 19.8, 11.5, 2.0 Blocks
Garnett 18.5, 9.7, 1.4 Blocks
Doesn't mean he will, but he should.
I think Duncan would be there as Center. But all the talk about this year's All-Star Center talk might negatively affect Duncan (at Center Position).
The Celtics play in the Eastern Conference, which as of today has a combined 393-445 record (.468)
The Spurs play in the Western Conference, which as of today has a combined 442-390 record (.531)
Considering that the Conference/Non-Conference schedule split is 64/36, the Celtics should have a better record because they are playing the majority of their schedule against opponents with a lower winning percentage.
If the season ended today, the Conf/Non-Conf breakout means that the overall winning percentage for Celtic's opponents is .490, but for the Spurs it is .508 (assuming that both teams are currently at the 64/36 split, which I know they are not, but don't have the appe e to dig up individual opponent records).
Yes, the Celtics do have a strong record against the West this year; however, that winning percentage would drop if they were to play the same number of games against Western Conference opponents as the Spurs, simply because the compe ion is greater in the West.
When the Celtics are playing an Eastern Conference game, they have less than a 30% chance of facing a team with a winning record. A game in the Western Conference is a 60% chance of team's playing at or above .600, much less a .500 benchmark.
The Spurs will play 22 more games against the West than Boston. Quite frankly, with the talent level in Boston and playing in the East, I would expect them to have a better record than the Spurs.
I don't see any way KG doesn't get 1st Team NBA. Deserving or not, it's about as automatic as any pick.
Hope I'm wrong.
Kg's numbers are starting to tail off a bit... as is the Celtics record. I think it's going to be pretty close.
Duncan probably has the edge on Amare since most knowledgeable fans realize that Duncan has an enormous effect on the defensive end while Amare is a pretty poor defender.
I think Duncan beats out Howard, but not KG.
Its gonna depend on what pos hes making
I think Duncan will get second this year because either KG or Amare will get it.
Does anyone think Manu has a realistic chance of being 3rd or even 2nd this year?
Why not Duncan and KG in the blocks? D12 could even be listed as a SF.
I dont think numbers have anything to do with it. The voters will either neglect them or see that they aren't favorable and ignore them outright.
