All Star Voting

by bbob on Jan 12, 2012 2:54 PM CST

I do this every year and every year Dirk still isn't a starter. This year he's coming off a season where he's a NBA champion and a finals MVP. It's a travesty that he's going to have to go to the All Star as a coach's pick. Take 5 minutes out of your day and vote for Dirk from your home computer, your work computer, and your cell phone. You can vote everyday and you don't even have to vote for every starter spot. You can just vote for Dirk and submit.

Forwards: Kevin Durant (OKC) 633,538; Blake Griffin (LAC) 394,264; Dirk Nowitzki (Dal) 231,832; Pau Gasol (LAL) 185,428; Kevin Love (Min) 143,814; LaMarcus Aldridge (Por) 118,268; Tim Duncan (SA) 81,783; Lamar Odom (Dal) 59,686; Metta World Peace (LAL) 39,006; Danilo Gallinari (Den) 34,438.

Ah yes, I'll include him starting tomorrow.

If you look at his game log, his Misc. stats really do look like a Matrix.

True true

I’m not expecting Dirk to start because the ASG starting lineup is a popularity contest and to casual fans, Durant and Griffin is more appealing. I’m still gonna vote for him anyway.

Remember the Duncan comeback last year...it could happen.

I wish Cubes would have people at the game w/ laptops to encourage people to vote. Could gain some major ground. Maybe we can get Khloe to tweet it to her 5 million followers and hope for another 100k of votes.

She's promoting Lamar out there a ton.

"Deion never played quarterback in the National Football League, so his comments are based off the other side of the ball. If you play my position and criticism can really affect you and hurt you and make you play differently, then you’re only gonna be around for so long anyway. The whole objective is to keep getting better. Keep finding ways to improve, and if your talented enough and good enough, you will lead your team to the Super Bowl. That will happen around here, it will."

I don't want any of our vets in there.

We have too many games to play as it is IMO. Save our minutes for games that count. Send

Dude, you've watched the All Star game before, right?

The game isn’t exactly a marathon. Plus Dirk never gets a lot of PT, because he takes jump shots, and everyone involved with the game wants Centers taking threes or nothing but oops. It’s a shame that he hasn’t been a starter in this game, especially because everyone has always put the soft European tag on him, which he obviously shed during the finals.

id be content if some of our guys are in the three point shoot out, celebrity challenge (cubes), and that other one.

although i wish Roddy can be in the dunk contest. that could be interesting.

by go87 on Jan 20, 2012 1:26 AM CST up reply actions

I know but right now it doesn't look like we have many minutes to spare.

Dirk and Kidd both look under the weather and I’d rather not put any more mile on Terry than necessary. I’d be all about Marion going, he deserves it IMO, but he’ll never get the votes.

Mavs fans are sad. How lazy can you be not to vote everyday from as many internet devices that you have. Dirk will be passed by Pau Frickin Gasol by the next time results are published.
