Re: Pau Gasol finishes fourth in Western forward voting
Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley both had Pau on their All-Star reserve list tonight.
By comparison, Carmelo Anthony wasn't on any of Magic, Charles or Kenny's lists. I can't remember which lists Marion made - he might have made them all.

Re: Pau Gasol finishes fourth in Western forward voting
Marc Stein selects Gasol to All-Star reserve team
Quote:

The coaches, remember, are instructed by the league to vote based on what they think best serves the respective West and East squads . . . without strict adherence to the positions where players are listed on the ballot. Expect the West's coaches, then, to tab Nowitzki, Garnett or Gasol as a center because they're all 7-foot forwards who a) occasionally masquerade as a five man and b) must be on the team. I always leave the actual ballot-punching to the fans, but had I punched one, Marcus Camby would have been my choice over Yao Ming at center. Yet Camby, as good as he was before getting hurt in late December, has missed too much time for me to install him as a reserve when it's already so tough to make room for all the forwards out West. I settled on Gasol here because he plays as much in the post now as any other forward.

Re: Vote Now, Vote Pau!
Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion...it's going to be tough to make it for Pau. Brand and Dirk are locks as the forwards, so that leaves Garnett, Marion, Gasol, and Anthony all battling for those two "Utility" positions.
I'm not sure why Stein is not giving Brand all that much props.

Pau's most likely to get in at center. He deserves it more than Garnett and at least as much as Anthony and Marion though. NBA fans also want to see Gasol more than they want to see Carmelo or Marion, too. And Brand and Dirk, for that matter.
I'm expecting seniority and politics to come into play, but with as many writers and pundits putting Pau at center on their predictions, I think the coaches will do the same.

Re: Pau Gasol All-Star thread
Greg Anthony says Pau should be an All-Star
Quote:
7. Should the Grizzlies finally have their first All-Star?
Yes. Pau Gasol is an All-Star in my book.
|
Quote:
10. All right, who are your All-Star reserves?
For the West, I have Paul, Gasol, Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Shawn Marion and Elton Brand. Most of these were easy calls. The close call for me was Paul over Ray Allen and Baron Davis.
In the East, I have Arenas, Vince Carter and Paul Pierce, who is not on a winning team but is having such a monster year that he has to be on the team. To replace the injured Jermaine O'Neal, I'd pick Redd. And I have four Pistons -- Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace.

Interestingly, Greg leaves KG off his list.

Re: Pau Gasol named to Western Conference All-Star team (?)
How does Gasol deserve it at least as much as Marion considering he has worse stats on a worse team. And those are not small differences really..
