Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[dat dude chris]

The lack of defense on the last 4 possessions :x

 

[bballkid11]

Wall need to stop wearing Kobe's tho. Not a good look.

Mamba.

 

[buc em]

Brice Johnson, who has literally never played in an NBA game, received two player votes. Guess this version of the voting process is working a whole lot better [emoji]128580[/emoji]

Wall destroying Rose.

 

[QU!K]

Kyle Lowry should be an all-star too

 

[pmatic]

The NT jinx never fails. Never.

 

[the collector]

The NT jinx never fails. Never.

Never ever.

 

[T0INE]

Goodness @ all the outrage about some of these starters

ASG is serious business apparently.

 

[pmatic]

Wall is a wizard.

 

[phar0]

Wall is a wizard.

was the pun intended 

 

[oldhotdogwater]

Kyle Lowry should be an all-star too

Nope. Honestly Wall should be starting over DD

 

[oldhotdogwater]

To the point where you can't find 1 from each conference worthy to start? I beg to differ
Roy was actually good at one point tho

It was pretty bad bruh. They will bring it back.

Demarcus, Hassan, Joel, KP, Kat, Dwight, Deandre, Rudy, Gasol(either brother), Thon Maker,

I still don't know how people/media can say Russ over Harden for MVP

 

[the collector]

KP and Melo should be punishing us in the paint right now. Melo is.

 

[MVP]

I still don't know how people/media can say Russ over Harden for MVP

He's averaging a triple double...pretty simple.

 

[oldhotdogwater]

I still don't know how people/media can say Russ over Harden for MVP

It should be the case. Curry shouldnt be starting AT ALL

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Nt jinx works even when no one is looking. I made fun of Denzel Valentine like a week ago and he had a career night the next game

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I still don't know how people/media can say Russ over Harden for MVP

So you can't see the argument for either side?

Honestly?

 

[deandre hopkins]

Knicks fans creaming themselves right now with this Melo play.

 

[MVP]

When Melo gets hot man, he's a joy to watch.

[the collector]

He missed the layup.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

If he was trash in every game how does he not deserve to share in the blame?

KD should be held to a higher standard just like y'all do with LeBron

 

[dland24]

Neither point guard is deserving to start.  

I disagree with the idea of "deserving." the all star game is all about fan entertainment and choice, not necessarily who is leading the league in statistical categories. from a business standpoint, it makes absolute sense for the nba to make fan voting such a pivotal part of the ASG. if steph and kyrie are the league's cashcows and they manage to garner more fanfare than other guards, then hell yeah it makes sense to have them start. steph and kyrie are arguably the faces of the nba when it comes to the PG position, nba is gonna profiteer off that as much as possible

Totally respect this opinion.  Makes perfect sense.  Just it is presented as the best players in the league, and this year, Kyrie and Steph are not.  

I feel you though.

I can see it if we are judging in a vacuum, absolutely.  If we are taking into account how MVP is normally selected, the idea that Russ is over Harden is absurd.
