My official guess is 3: Lebron, Mo, and Z. However, I'm guessing Lebron will be the only one who gets to start, but it would be nice for the others to get the recognition they deserve. Z is the second best center in the East this year (behind only Superman Dwight Howard), and Mo has been playing some **** good ball himself; he's exciting, and it's hard to name other PGs in the east who are outplaying him (AI will get the nod simply because he's recognizable and a great vet). Sooo, what does everyone else have to say? Am I an idiot, or will the East have 3 Cavs representing them this February??? |

Your not an idiot. But, I doubt Z will get in because it's the Cavs. We won't get enough recognition as a team, let alone our players. Mo better get in. LeBron is in for sure.
LbJ2308- Indians need to get better, simple as that.

I think the answer will be one...not that i agree it should be.
I also think that Delonte and Andy are as deserving as Z and Mo. Am I insane? Maybe, but those two guys have been playing some awesome ball and at least deserve to be on the freakin' ballot! |

East conf. centers are a little weak. Z has a real chance.
Superman Bogut Z Dalembert O'Neal
Those are the centers in the running. Z should get in, but Bogut and Howard might be the first 2 centers picked. Howard will start obviously.
LeBron starts of course.
Mo is deserving to be in the running, but there's a lot of PG's in the East.
Bibby Felton Derrick Rose AI TJ Ford Devin Harris Andre Miller Jose Calderon
- It'll be tough for Mo to get in.
Roster is set: time to get busy!

LeDan is right just because he knows it's a popularity contest. Alot of people will want to see Rose. AI is almost a shoe-in. Mo will definitely be top 4. Z should make it.

I think besides LBJ, Mo will be our only participant. Z has got to improve his 6.7 rebounds per game, imo. He's the best shooter of the group though, both in FG's and FT's. A lot has to do with our record and position in the East. If we're the top seed, we should have two if not three players on the team. But based on stats alone, Zach Randolph is averaging 20.8 ppg and 12.9 rpg, second to only Dwight Howard among Eastern conference Centers. If he keeps that up, you can bet he'll make the team. Don't think they'd go with three Centers.
I think both players are huge reasons for our success, but playing with such a stat-stuffer like LBJ makes it hard to shine in the eyes of (fans) voters, so their fate rests in the hands of the coaches, who pick the reserves. They have to choose seven players (2Gs, 2Fs, 1C and 2 Wildcards), and cannot choose players on their team. Also, the coaches don't have to follow the position guidelines of the ballot that we vote with, meaning that they can list Bosh as a Center for instance). If we're playing well as a team, coaches will aknowledge that and reward us with another player on the team, and I think that will be Mo Williams. Hope I'm wrong and we get three though!

I wholeheartedly agree that it's a popularity contest, but the Cavs have already been on network TV several times this year. I usually don't see them on ESPN or TNT so much before the NFL season is over. They are getting much more exposure than in the past, mostly because of Lebron, but that's good for all of the players on the team. I understand that Cleveland is a middle-market city and they don't get the exposure that Boston or LA gets (Celts are so damned overrated, but that's a conversation for another time...), but I think the entire league is starting to take notice of the Cavs this year. They've always been a dark horse in the past, but with the ball they're playing, they are starting to turn some heads. It's no longer the Lebron James Show featuring a guest appearance by the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's the Cleveland Cavaliers Show. I stand by my original statement, yet I do realize that it will be harder for Mo than the others now... I forgot how many solid PGs there are in the east. While I'm loving West and Varejao's play this year, they're still not All-star caliber. Varejao is making a solid case for 6th of the year, though. This team's consistency and overall goodness is impressive; it's amazing what one year can do! Go Cavs!!!! |

You can cross off Bogut and Dalembert. Not enough recognition. O'Neal has an outside chance but I don't think he will make it either unless he starts playing better. I'd put Z in the running but I don't think he will make it, unless it's by coach's decision.
PGs...I would cross off Bibby (unless the Hawks still have an insane record), Felton, Ford, Calderon, and Miller. Calderon is deserving but I don't think he gets a lot of media recognition. Devin Harris has been on a tear, I could see him making it. AI is probably a lock now. Ford, nah, no one cares too much about the Pacers. Rose is an iffy, there isn't really that much elite PG competition in the East, so he might make it (nothing like the West where you have Kidd, Nash, Deron, and CP3). Mo has a shot at it, because the Cavs definitely get more attention than the Nets. |
