    Harden is even more boring than Westbrook. Harden makes Tim Duncan look like Shaq in his prime. Harden is trash and will NEVER win s*** as the #1 guy.

    He seemed to be finally trying too hard and beyond his current capabilities for a period against Houston. Turned it over twice in a row trying to do some really difficult, athleticism required things last night. Usually we don't see much of that from him. He's entitled some mistakes like everyone else especially with how well he is developing for us.

    Great iso swat on harden in the 4th—could tell ESPN wanted to sweep it under the rug.

    I love Caruso. But I find it a little embarrassing that he is getting all-star votes, it's almost like voting as a joke and he is becoming a meme. The guys a solid rotation player. But you can clearly see that he isn't an All Star, anytime he comes across one the difference between production and impact is night and day.

    Entire all-star game is a joke at this point. Good weekend to do something else.

    He's shooting to the top of the all-star voting because he's popular with fans. You don't have to be a star. Likewise, there are definitely stars in this league who are not popular, see Devin Booker.

    No less embarrassing than the ASG itself.

    The All Star game is pointless no doubt. All the stars try to take it easy and get some rest. But the label isn’t, some contracts even have bonuses contingent on making all star games.

    Yes, Caruso is popular among lakers fans - like I said I love him, but there is no way he should be anywhere near the all star game.

    The NBA All Star lost it's shine when they took the fun away by stopping fans from voting the starters by themselves. The Pachulia campaign was fun, AC Green and young Kobe voted in by fans was fun. Now why would casual fans bother when their votes are not the final say on the starters?

    I will take the All-Star game seriously when the NBA and the players will. Until then, I am going treat it as if it was Dancing with the Stars... and vote for my favorite, based on dress, boobage/assage or hair.

    Last year the "all-stars" took 167 threes...I'm still in disbelief considering it is a game without any defense. How do you shoot 170 threes? WTF

    90 and 77...

    THATS INSANE. It was garbage and pretty horrifying. I thought I'm watching the Rockets with only difference being both teams being full of James Hardens.

    #2 shows the issue with the reliability of net ratings. Kuz + AD + any other 3 players (Bron included) hasn't worked.

    So, KCP is the worst of them at almost +9 (!)... and then there's Rondo with -6.4. How is that even possible?

    1. Caruso: +22.0
    2. Kuzma: +17.5
    3. Howard: +14.0

    plus LeBron and AD.

    Starting lineup solved. :)

    I don't understand Vogel's angle here. I hear praises for Rondo the distributor, but I fail to see it.
