Really bullshit.
It really is but nobody seems to get it how much it is. Just watched the Inside the NBA guys and they were all fine with it. I don’t think anybody else but us Suns fans see how truly special what he is doing is. Barkley and Shaq were more upset that Morant didn’t get in.

Tomorrow like most of our games going forward is big for the standings but now I really hope the team as a whole feels Devin got dissed and they build on last game
Really want us beat up on the Thunder now
I really want to beat up some kids who stole my bike.

First I have to get a bike.
Steal one.

I just hope Booker takes it personally and starts really punishing the league for their stupidity.

Some guys play better when they’re angry. Is Booker one of them?

Sometimes would be my answer. If he’s frustrated it can result in silly fouls. But that’s more of an in game thing.

There was the time the crowd in Phoenix was cheering for Westbrook to get the triple double record. Booker got pissed and lead us to the win. Only example I could think of , but a good one.

I’d be real curious to see who voted for who. What coaches left Booker off

So get him some help, dude. And tell your starting center not to take diuretics.
Amen. There is a huge risk that Booker wants out if he sees the new FO 'doesn't do anything' and it is costing him not to reach his goals. He would be on his third selection already (maybe fourth) if not for lack of team success.

What a middle finger to Phoenix by the league
In other words, business as usual?
Kind of, but a lot of our own doing. It has been 10 years since we were a relevant team. That means nobody watches us, so people don't know Book. This snub is on Robert by not getting a real team together, ever. The only team that was relevant was put together by JC or his hires.

Team success, but also location. Is there any doubt that if he were drafted by the Lakers he wouldn't have been in nearly every year after his rookie year? No question. I swear that half the reason Ingram got in was because of his time in L.A. not LA.

Ingram is in because of Zion. Zion got New Orleans tons of nationally televised games, then got hurt and gave Ingram a chance to shine to a national audience.

Still, I think Ingram was all-star worthy, so I won’t complain too much. Westbrook was not.

Thought about this too...a young star in the league playing in a small market? Nah, let's get CP3 and Westbrook in the game instead :roll:

They’ve just skipped past Book and gone to Trae and Ja

I think if you showed a highlight reel (not stats, just individual plays) of each of their 20 best moments this season, most casual fans would prefer Trae and Ja. They are extremely flashy, and that gets likes and clicks and shares. Book just goes to work and dominates on the offensive end. But not in a flashy way.

Espn has a video of the highlights of all star snubs. I’ll give you one guess on who leads off the video and who gets the most time.
