Come on, Kings fans. GET OUT THE VOTE! You can vote repeatedly on Twitter and Facebook and once a day on nba.com

If we can get our team onto the national stage via Fan Night votes, we can certainly move DMC and Rudy up in the voting.

I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised to see Marc Gasol that high in the voting.

my thoughts exactly.

on the contrary, disgusting to see Kobe taking James Harden's spot in the backcourt.

Blake Griffin undeservedly getting into the starting lineup i saw coming, as lame as it is

#ALLSTAR

Team Cousins ‏@TeamCousins 18m
RT @tomhaberstroh 4 players are averaging 20+ while shooting 50+%: Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and ... Dwyane Wade.

What are the cutoffs?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

What are the cutoffs?

top 2 guards and top 3 forwards are the starters. Then coaches select the rest of the team

 

[fairlane1964]

Two guards who don't belong on that list: Kobe and Jeremy Lin.

yea fan voting is a joke. At least we know unless he miraculously jumps to 2nd in the voting, he won't be getting on the team

I would rather Kobe than Harden. Can't stand Harden.

 

[Chupacabra]

I'd be much happier with an all NBA team selection.

Tactics BTW: Keep Tim Duncan out. Even if that means you have to vote for Gasol occasionally. Keep Duncan out -- every time an undeserving guy slips in as a starter, it takes a potential slot away from DMC.

6 guys who should make it:

Davis
Blake
Aldridge
Cousins
Gasol
Durant

Even Durant is shaky if he's not voted in because of all the injuries, but coaches could well take him anyway as reigning MVP etc.

Howard is a 7th potential, but with Harden in to give Houston some rep, and Howard missing even more time than Cuz, I think Cuz has a legit shot at beating him out. Besides which its normally 7 bigs and 5 littles, so if that holds you can afford Howard.

But in any case, you want to make sure no outsiders crash that list by getting voted in if possible. No old farts especially. Danger to Boogie ensues if somehow a Duncan or a Dirk or a Randolph or somebody sneaks in amongst the starters. So vote whoever it takes to keep them out.

Kobe and Jeremy getting all the votes from Laker nation. Did not see Marc Gasol getting that many votes. Nick Young with over 30k votes...what planet are we on?

A planet with an emerging youth hardwired to social media that feeds off SWAG.

It is amazing that Davis has so many more votes than Cousins yet with Cousins missing SOOOO many games, the Kings are only two games behind the Pelicans in the standings. If Davis' plays for a crappy team and can get in, the coaches cannot use that excuse to keep Cousins out.

Our team isn't crappy, we were well ahead in the standings earlier in the season. Our FO is crappy, and stupid.

True but my definition of crappy is under .500 so I have to be fair. I will say that outside of Cousins health problems we are not a crappy team but his health and this Front Office have put us there.

Cousins is much too low... He should be at #4 or #3 if not higher... Gay is in right position or even too high. He is good player, but not really superstar

I doubt that Khawi is a superstar too. Might be one of the most overrated players in the NBA of the last few years..
