There needs to be a coordinated approach to getting Tacko on this all-star team.

I am voting every day on alarm.

Fan voting only accounts for 50 percent of the All-Star vote, so even if Tacko gets a million votes, he's not getting in, but also that means Kyrie won't get in ahead of Kemba.

Tacko isn't an All-Star, but don't they HAVE to put him in the Rookie game? That would do wonders for the ratings.

If nothing else materializes, Tacko could be a prop in the dunk contest.
Or maybe put him in the dunk contest. He dunks without jumping so all he has to do is wave the ball around in different ways and throw it down lol.

How soon til the inevitable Yo Quiero Tacko Fall reboot commercials?

Seriously.  You’ve got to figure Taco Bell has at least tossed around the idea of getting in cahoots with Tacko.
Yup

Anyone see Brad Stevens response to this?

While Stevens voiced his opinion against Fall being among the voting leaders, he has often fed the hype machine of Fall this season.
I call BS (no pun intended) on the idea that Stevens has often fed the Tacko hype machine.  If anything, he has been highly reluctant to play into that.

And the crazy part would be the fans going absolutely nuts for these dunks.  He'd be the first guy to get repeat standing ovations for dunks with scores of 0.0.

BS sees it as I do.  This is getting out of hand and is becoming offensive to tacko and the others.

At least, that’s my read into it.  ;D

Saw highlights of the Claws/Clippers game....

Tacko appears to be getting into a defensive stance these days - and it is, truly, a sight to behold.

I’ve seen the Colosseum, the Grand Canyon, Mt. Fuji, the Grand Coulee dam, the Pacific Ocean from 300 feet...

For my birthday, I would like a life-sized poster of that. In fact, I would take down my pictures of all the Kardashians to make wall space for it, in a heartbeat, no hesitation.
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021
