I still don't know how Towns didn't make it. They need to expand these all star rosters. This is costing these guys some money, here. 12 spots is beyond stupid. It's an All Star game. Jesus. No one will care if they are the 1st reserve or last reserve.

Ingram and Chris Paul aint in his league currently, even Russ is debaeatable. He having better season then Mitchell too (way more efficient).
Ingram deserves to be there.

Kyle Lowry doesn't deserve to be there either, but here we are.

Towns is my favourite player currently in the league, but I get why he didnt make it, he been missing near 30 games due to injury. Paul George is top 5 player at his best, but he too didnt make it cuz he missed 25 games.


But with Booker I dont get it, this is a season where Curry and Klay are out injured, and he is their heir, best shot to make the allstar ever, and he gets overlooked for players who are clearly not as good as him this season.

I have no idea why Booker didn't make it. That one really boggles the mind. I would like to say that it is a bias against players on bad teams that put up big numbers.

That would normally be true, good players on bad teams biasm, but Trae is starting in all star east, and Hawks worst in the league. Both Ingram and CP3 are on really bad teams, so not an excuse anymore.

Expand it to 15 players per roster. 30 All Stars instead of 24, and make the game 60 minutes (15 minutes per quarter).

Trae was a fan selection though. I have a feeling coaches would have snubbed him for being on the worst team in the league had he not made it based on fan votes.

Trae was a pure fan vote. Nothing you can do about that.

And let's not totally discount that there may be some sort of collusion here either, since making All-Star/All-NBA teams not only affect your current salary, but also plays a massive role into the max that you can get on your next contract.

Wolves has been ass since November. But he has been injured virtually all that time until he gotten back this past week.
he’s 0-14 in games played since November. If anything, the team has a better record without him

I’ll admit tho, the team is the real problem there but he’s not carrying them

I would tell you actually watch the games to know he is virtually the only functioning part (and the entire offense), with wiggins waking up at times to help, AND FAR FROM THE PROBLEM. But for you to realize this, it would actually require you going through the torture that is actually watching wolves games.


Wolves without Towns are D-league level roster.

I’ll watch when they play the Sixers. But they’ll probably beat us.

saw the wolves were trying to trade Wiggins btw, no takers

It’s funny, a big reason why the wolves are bad right now is because they gave Wiggins a huge contract. They would’ve never had taken Wiggins if Lebron hadn’t gone to the Cavs and requested KLove. He would’ve been stuck in Cleveland instead, wallowing in a below mediocre team.

so the Cavs are so contagiously incompetent, they ended up passing some of that over to the Wolves.

OMG, what a third quarter by Lillard. Dude is the closest thing in the league to Kobe, he's channeling that extra energy tonight.

You know what. I don't even know. So many moving parts on all of these trades, that I just can't keep up.
