The TNT guys picks for what that is worth.  IT in for all three.

I find it funny that ZaZa had more votes than both of them.

I haven't actually checked the votes, but if that is true it's utterly ridiculous.  Zaza shouldn't even be on the ballot paper.

Actually, I think that's a good way to help minimise the idiotic votes.  A panel should come together when the voting starts, look at which players are playing all-star worthy, and then generate the ballot lists based on that.

This way people can only vote for the guys on the ballot paper.

Like I said earlier, Zaza has about twice as many votes as Cousins.

That Porzingis is above Bosh, Love and Millsap is a joke in itself.  The kid has talent and a ton of potential but come on...he's not there yet.

I won't even get started on Derrick Rose/Jeremy Lin having more votes than Isaiah Thomas/Reggie Jackson...

or Enes Kanter and Tim Duncan having more votes than Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and Lamarcus Alrdige.

What a farce.

How did Zaza Pachulia get so many votes?

I don't understand. He never had this type of public vote backing before.

Sometimes Coaches vote in guys that they don't want to p--- off and fear pay back come playoff time
,Having Kyrie or Wall motivated by a snub would be more fearful than IT4 in my mind.Whether it is a snub
or not they turn it into one.Interesting to see how it plays out.

The new voting format is a joke. The west will have to start Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant at PF and C.

He's never played this well either.

And the Mavs probably have more fans than the Hawks and Bucks combined.  Still, I'd guess there was some ballot stuffing going on, which is a proud All-Star tradition.

EDIT:  You can Tweet votes now, I think for the first time this year.  That makes ballot stuffing easier than ever.

If Kyrie views not being awarded a spot on the all star team a snub when he has only played in 12 games he is an idiot. It seems unclear if Wall will even be in the playoffs right now. I really think that is a non-factor.

IT an all star... why not.

The kid is fearless, works hard, and gets results. (starting or off the bench) It may get us a good look from a free agent that is also an all star player.
