Warriors are the most under rated team in the NBA- no doubt. Look at video games for example, the Kings(which sucks) have higher ratings than them, they get no respect because of their history. But look at them now, heading for the playoffs and leaving Portland and Roy behind. Byron Scott is a BITCH!!!

WE BELIEVE!!

Roy over BD?

Unfair. I think the league has trivialized the turn around of this franchise and the accomplishments of this organization. This is a bad message to the Bay Area.

NBA All Star selection does not reflect the total quality of the league anymore. I think its absurd to leave out the likes of BD, Capt. Jack and Ellis for consideration.

This leads me to a question, or a few questions..

Was there a team in the past whose players never made it to the All Star but made it to the championship? Or better yet, became champions? Was it Detroit?

Well, Given the variables of the team, I think this is very achievable for the Warriors. Hope they achieve it to make that statement against the league.

Excuses, excuses. Iverson was like fifth in voting then made a last-minute surge. Are you saying he overtook McGrady — who has China voting for him — because casual fans pushed him over the top? C’mon.
I would buy it if Baron was getting a million votes and just missing out. BD’s not even close.

No, enjoying J Rich’s return to Oakland is a great day for Warrior fans.

What about Baron’s reception in New Orlean’s the other day? Those fans were not at all excited to see Baron return to their town. If the nba is really trying to salvage a franchise in this city I bet they wanted to avoid any acrimony in their All Star Game.

Baron dished, JRich memories, Gasol to the Lakers. This is a bad day for the Warriors team and fans.

Marcus,
Not fair to blame the fans. AI, Wade, Lebron, Kobe receive a lot of their votes from casual NBA fans that see them on nationally televised games every week.

Chip on his shoulder…Us against the world…The biggest asset to BD not making the ASG is the rest. 5 full days will do wonders for the second half run.

Hey OneDub, if that’s the case, then how did West get the last spot? There are 2 reserve spots regardless of position. I can’t believe that West would’ve gotten more votes from Western Conference coaches than BD. Especially since BD has ripped apart those Western Conference teams this year.

There is definitely something shady going on here. You have to admit, that Scott probably chuckled a little when he saw that West got in and BD didn’t.

And worldwide recognition will come when the W’s can show that the 12 years of losing is behind them. BD for MVP!

Marcus,
I lost interest in the ASG when they went to unlimited fan voting. Sorry, I don’t do ballot box stuffing. What next, picking presidents the same way?
