Wade would presumably get voted in by the casuals who don't care what his stats are.
Same for Durant, time missed or no time missed.

Let's keep that RT game strong fellas! RT all tweets with a Celtic player and #NBAVote
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

How many guards are there on the All-Star bench? 

I could see it getting tricky for Isaiah if Wall and Wade get voted in and Jimmy Butler is classified as a guard.  He'd be in competition with Kyle Lowry and Butler for spots on the bench. 

There's also Kemba, who could get consideration from coaches if the Hornets stick around in the playoff standings.

Can't count out Reggie Jackson, either, though right now the Pistons are behind the Celts in the standings.

I would imagine the roster is generally 5 guards, 5 forwards, one traditional center and then flex.
He is actually 4th among scoring for guards and his other conventional guard numbers (steals, assists) are better than demar dorozen who averages 1 point more. I also kind of wonder if Wade will get voted in this year. He is only averaging 18.5 and he just doesn't seem like a superstar any more.


Wade would presumably get voted in by the casuals who don't care what his stats are.

I am just not sure if he is still the shiny new thing that casual fans get excited for. I hardly every hear him talked about. You see Curry, Lebron, Carmelo, Harden, Davis, Love, durant, westbrook and others everywhere, but I feel like people have kind of forgotten about the old guard on the heat. I could also envision someone like Lowry getting a lot of votes from having all of canada behind him. I was up in vancouver for business recently and the raptors were on every tv at every bar/restaurant i went to.

Apparently you can vote for Paul Pressey.  He gets my vote.

And there's no way I can vote in Paul Pressey without voting for his son Phil.  Father/Son starting back court!  The story practically writes itself!



My votes have been submitted!

East:
G - Paul Pressey, Phi
G - Phil Pressey, Phi
F - Malcolm Miller, Bos
F - Coty Clarke, Bos
F - Perry Jones, Bos

West:
G - Austin Rivers, LAC
G - Corey Webster, NOP
F - Kyle Singler, OKC
F - Jeff Adrien, NOP
F - Jeff Adrien, NOP, so nice you can vote for him twice!

Agreed.
