Hopefully it's Jimmy Butler replacing Wade.

Hopefully it's Jimmy Butler replacing Wade.

Its Kyle Lowry for sure. Last time I saw the numbers, he was the closest 1st time all star to getting a starting nod. He was lessthan 40k behind Wade. All other spots had all stars close to the top 2.

 

[Simon]

I think we all know Kyrie won't make it as a starter.

I think we can make it a lock for Wall/Lowry backcourt in the all-star game.

 

[Los216]

I don't think Blake Griffin should be a starter this year. Would of had Aldridge in there instead.

 

[Simon]

West All-Star Starters:

Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant, Anthony Davis, Marc Gasol and Blake Griffin

East All-Star Starters:

John Wall, Kyle Lowry, LeBron James, Pau Gasol and Carmelo Anthony

 

[CavsHomer]

So Kyrie/Teague as reserves? Or Butler/Teague?
And forward reserves? Love/Millsap? Bosh/Millsap? Love/Bosh?

 

[Birdy89]

Lebron might be the Cavs only All-star.

Several Hawks will make that Roster with the coach being Bud.

 

[Rondo]

3 hawks are on for sure due to bud as teh coach.

Kyrie will make it Love will be snubbed. Even though hes averaging 18/10, the only double double average out of gortat, milsap, hortford, and bosh

The only Heat player I see making it is Wade and not Bosh.

I dont think they will snub kyrie, he was mvp last year

 

[Los216]

Reserves should be

Teague
Milsap
Horford
Jimmy Butler
Kyrie
Love
Brandon Knight

All of those players have played more games than Wade and Bosh, and the Heat are 6 games under .500

Depends on how many Hawks players make it. Teague/Horford/Milsap/Korver all deserve to go.

 

[Los216]

When are reserves picked?

*Edit Reserves are announced on the 29th. We play 4 more games before that. That could be enough for Love to get picked. I think Kyrie is a lock.
