Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

[stitches]

Here's a wild hypothetical. Lets say we survive December and we get to all-star week as a surefire playoff team. Usually coaches try to reward winning franchises with an all-star recognition. Gobert missed 3 weeks... Mitchell is leading us in scoring and has been fabulous lately... Who gets it for the Jazz? Is it possible we get a rookie all-star?

Not in the western conference.

This. West is crammed full of talent.

Butler, Wiggins, KAT, George, Westbrook, Cousins, AD, Durant, Green, Curry, CP3, Harden, DJ, Millsap, Lilliard, Leonard, Thompson, Gasol, Conley, Millsap, Griffin... a rookie won't get it IMO.

Kawhi isnt going to get in. He is going to miss more than half the games before the All-Star game.

None of the Clippers or Grizzlies getting in either.

I do think there is a scenario where Donovan gets in, but Utah has to be a top 5 seed. It will be hard to keep a Utah player off the team if they are securely in the playoffs. They might pick Gobert, especially if he starts putting up his usual numbers, but it could be Mitchell.

Yep, my thought is... imagine we are at seed no. 4-5-6 in the West. How are you going to leave that team without an All-star? Has this happened anytime recently?

Hard to check midseason records, but I know the Blazers wound up with the 5th seed and no allstars a couple of seasons back.

Are there any rules now for how many guards and forwards/centers get voted in?

They were going on late season hot streaks, they were never in playoff position at the time of the all-star game.

george won't make it. only one of KAT, wiggins or butler will make it i bet. so maybe there is a chance?

Yeah they were lol. When they had LMA they were firmly in the playoffs for years.

I meant the last two years when Lillard missed the all-star games. He made 2 all-star games with LMA on the team when they actually were in the playoff picture at the time of the ASG selection process.
