No Jazz all stars

I love Sap but he doesn't deserve to be there. And it has nothing to do with refs or respect etc. If an opening comes up Al should be considered. Then we can all tweet Deron and tell him that Harris made Al an All-Star ;)

It has everything to do with the refs, and Millsap has played better than AJ, although the competition for the ASG is tougher at forward than center, I'll give you that.

A couple weeks ago the Jazz were in 2nd or 3rd place, and Millsap was shooting .560 while AJ was at .480 and the rest of his team was shooting about .410.

Since then, the Hayward, Kanter, Harris, and Bell have been playing BETTER, but the Jazz , esp. Millsp and AJ and have been hurt by the
refs in some games. Part of that is just that they have been on the road more, which is okay, but the refs have been a factor.

I have no problem with the guys that were selected, but Millsap was at an allstar level until the last few games, and the refs have been a major factor in those games. I shed no tears, the guy makes big bucks and has a better life than me, but that doesn't mean he gets the same calls as other guys playing on his level.
 
The ref argument and the small market argument are just whining. Do super stars get breaks and the benefit of the doubt - sure they do. Malone and Stock benefited just like the rest of them. It is what it is. And it is not why Sap is not an all-star. He is not playing consistent enough to be an all-star. I hope someday he does. Love his game. Hope he is a Jazzman for life. His best option is to become our 6th man as K and F develop.
 
The refs control the games.
Millsap was one of the best players in the league. The drop off lately appears to be due in large part to the refs.
Malone and Stock did not get as good treatment from the refs as other top contenders did.
