Vote, vote and vote again. And then ... VOTE! If you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom, grab your phone and vote. If you're waiting in a grocery line, VOTE.

VOTE!

Rondo has a tough road because Curry and Westbrook are basically locks. Add to that equation that Kobe WILL steal a spot because Lakers fans are morons. That is 3 guard spots already gone.

Do some kind of mandatory voting that you have to click through to vote at NBA.com before you can post here daily. Most people will vote once or a handful of times. But most won't keep it up. We saw what happen last year.

The strategic votes are also worth noting. Im not sure how the list fills out thus far, but voting for specific guards and/or forwards other than our own could eventually pan out in a way that helps our guys.

Cousins up to 8th in the Race to the MVP ladder.

After years of work I think we've finally converted Sekou Smith.

Nice, but I don't see any of our guys being selected by the coaches unless we are in the 8th spot when the time comes. To many mainstream guys that doesn't pay attention to the details of this team, they see Cousins as having regressed because of his drop in efficiency, fg %, lower rebounding numbers etc. With Cousins' rep, he almost always has to overwhelm with his performance in order to get selected.

He has Allstar talent with a fifty cent attitude. Sorry but imo team achievement should rightfully fit into the coaches decisions.

Zaza Pachuloa has more votes than Boogie.

This is precisely why I don't give a fig about All-Star voting. Multiple-votes-allowed ballot stuffing makes it meaningless and results in nonsensical totals. As far as I'm concerned, if votes went to players, coaches, and front offices only, then I'd pay attention. The current system is a bizarre mix of a popularity contest and a script-kiddie challenge.

We have a red headed twerp trying to incite the masses into a torches and pitchforks intervention at Boogie's house. Doesn't help.

Interestingly....

the day after Grant's anti-Cuz revival I shot Vlade a tweet asking him if there wasn't some way to muzzle the Red Rider, because having the Kings play by play man leading trade the franchise player mobs wasn't doing the franchise or its fanbase any good.

Now I'm certainly not claiming credit for this, but I can't be the only one who has noticed a distinct change in Grant's in-broadcast tone towards Cuz the last week+? All of a sudden its been almost all positive. All of a sudden things he almost never says, about Cuz's defense, or his hustle getting back, have been popping up regularly. His normal tropes about how Cuz committed this foul or that foul etc. seem to have disappeared. I wonder if he went too far and got his chain pulled?

Of course I don't hear his radio show so he could still be on the same rant over there, but the Kings broadcasts have felt different.

I've noticed the same. As people could logically say that this corresponds with Boogie's great play of late, it's more than that. If there is such a thing as effusiveness in Grant's DNA, he seems to be effusive. Take credit. Vlade may have listened and Grant may have listened to Vlade.
