Should be a great atmosphere for the All Star game!!  Hooray, our team is DOA we'll be losing our 3rd franchise superstar sometime in the near future.  Go O -Town!!!

curious to know what people outside of philly think..... does iguodala deserve an all-star spot?

yes

Griffin over Love or Aldridge while inevitable due to the selection process being in the hands of the fans is kind of nope

I think Griffin has improved both his offensive variety and his defensive intensity (look at his block #s) to the point this is certainly arguable.

over Love?

I thought Griffin was better than Love entering the season, but after watching a bunch of Clips I have to give that a no.  Blake has no halfcourt offensive game and mails it in on D, he's still real good but too flawed to be the best PF in the west.  Kevin Love is playing much better this year too, he's definitely the better option.  Agree that LMA is better than Blake, too.

 

But for ASG purposes, Blake dunks the most so he was the correct choice.

Have to totally disagree that Blake has no halfcourt offensive game: last year maybe, but this year he is constantly hitting the face-up 15 footer and has gotten much much better in the post.  Defensively he does seem to be coasting at times, but like I mentioned, his blocks are up a bunch.  Each player is different from the other two, and you can't go wrong with any of them, but I certainly don't see it as Blake being a clear 3rd of the 3, and as mentioned, the All-Star game is about the explosive over the steady, and nobody is more explosive than Blake. 

Check the $tat$ bro, Blake is shooting 35% from 16-23 ft.  More like he's constantly bricking that shot amirite?

I agree that Blake is the correct pick for the asg, but if I'm building a real team I'm pretty sure Blake is a clear 3rd pick of those 3 for me.

That's great: I say he's making the 15 footer, so you give his 16-23 foot stats.  If you disagree, that's certainly your right, but come-on with the excessive need to find some stat to support your thought.  Don't know where some of you guys come up with these crazy stats to begin with, but I'd be willing to bet that: 1) Blake is shooting more 10-15 footers, and 2) he's making a much higher % of them.

and yet he has nowhere close to Kevin Love's range and since we're talking stats 25-14 vs 21-11
