I think Book is more concerned with winning than getting to the All Star game this year. I think he has spent the beginning of the season figuring out his new role and sort of taking a back seat and that has had an impact on his stats and numbers. He has been turning it up a notch lately offensively.
It would be nice if the wings could be more consistent from 3. When they all fall off the cliff on their shooting, they get blown out by mediocre to bad teams. Booker's shot hasn't been very good lately, other than his game winner.
I think Booker needs to start shooting only when heavily defended. He seems to make most of those.

Zion was reading this board pre-game yesterday. Kelly read it today.

They are in a funk for sure. They will bust out eventually.

Mostly decent voting there. A few who have no business being on the lists: Klay Thompson (cmon, he isnt even active), Wiggins, Ingram, Ja, SGA, Randle, Derrick Rose. And a few underrated guys like Sabonis and Grant. But mostly it's a solid list and not generally full of fan vote-ins who have no business being in the ASG.
Klay is really dumb...so is Rose.
Ingram made it last year and is a good player, but he hasn’t been as good this year and NO is pretty bad. Wiggins has actually been pretty good for GS.
I think Ja deserves a lot of credit. He’s good and has Memphis in a playoff spot right now. Sabonis is absolutely an all-star, he’s been phenomenal this year. SGA and Randle are also putting up really good seasons, I don’t have a problem with them getting votes.
Ingram's #s are about the same as last season, and he's honestly better than Zion so far this year. There's NO WAY the Pels deserve 2 all stars, though.
Foks need to stop sleeping on Sabonis. He has been one of the best bigs in the NBA for 4 years. Fans don't see it becasue he's not one of the media's 'Names', and it took Nate McMillan a while to admit it too. But you can't sleep on 20/12/5 on a winning team.

My wild guess would be that they put in CP3 as a "wild card" West all-star and snub Book yet again.
Book hasn’t deserved it yet this year. If anyone does on the suns, it’s CP3
IMO Book deserves it more, and I would bet he keeps heating up as the season goes on. If we get a guy in it will be Booker.
Booker hasn't had the spectacular games where he takes over, but he has consistently been part of our best lineups. CP3 has to take over because he stifles the rest of the roster, IMO.

That was weird. Lakers are purple and gold so they wore blue. Nuggets are blue and yellow so they wore red.

I'm one that has had my share of moments bragging about NBA. Entertainment wise and how Silver is the best Commish but so many weird decisions almost every week now. This KD thing last night was/is wild

I am old enough to remember when folks marveled at Jokic passing ability for a C but then in the playoffs would say he needs to look for his own offense more
Nuggets need a go-to man
Well he start being that guy in the bubble and man he's been a beast for real this season

Where was Fox? If they don't need him anymore, we'll take him.
