Domas SNUBBED

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That's wild: Irving isn't even the first guard I would have taken over Sabonis.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Goodness gracious.

Commissioner Silver, please show us on the doll where Domas hurt you.

Basic stat comparison. Mavs are also only 1.5 game ahead of the Kings, so can't use that argument either

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has replaced Anthony Davis in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. This is Irving’s ninth All-Star appearance.

Other than legacy for Domas, glad he gets the time off. NBA hates him anyway, with how he's "reffed" on a game in and game out basis.

That's total BS. This is the stupid NBA doing a solid for Dallas after they gave Luka away to the Lakers as a favor to them.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Goodness gracious.

Commissioner Silver, please show us on the doll where Domas hurt you.

Apparently, Silver picks replacement based on next highest total vote total via coach’s votes. So, this falls on the coaches again lol.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Definitely FT% the decider.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Kyrie is one of the most popular players in the league, they probably factored that in even if they shouldn’t have.

I personally don’t care, give him all nba.

Speaking of All NBA, AD is likely out of the running. Domas and Fox? Haha

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Hope fox gets it so he screws over the spurs

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Portland fanperson on the bluesky webpage pointed out that not only does Sacramento, 90 miles from the event location, remain the only team without a representative the entire weekend, the 9-43 Washington Wizards have 3.

Doesn't impact them in any meaningful way but it would be hilarious.

 

[BenchMob]

Both big men replaced by 2 guards, did Monte make the decision?

I sorta get that take but it’s 2 hours from Napa and barely a “scrimmage.” Purely about ratings and shafting the Kings. Stupid decision and he deserves it, legacy certainly matters to these guys

The All NBA will look much better on the hall of fame resume so let’s hope he gets that

Probably gotta make the playoffs (likely 6 seed or higher) for him to get there, but that’s not out of the question

I think Fox would have to make the All-NBA team at the end of the year to get the extra bump in salary to screw the Spurs. I don't see that happening.

However, Fox definitely doesn't deserve an All-Star spot this year.

True, but I believe there are media and networking obligations for the whole weekend. I’d much rather the team get some quality practice in that week.

Could be although he made it last year. Probably going to be close

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If that were the criteria, Lonzo LaMelo Ball would have gotten in: #1 among fans, #3 among other players.

for sure, I’m guessing the 24 game under 500 was just too much to overlook.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Silver doubling down on malpractice.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Looking how kyre impacted the game, he deserves allstar. I recend my complaint. Sabonis should have been dominating vs a centerless team

Someone actually said this to me on the butterfly site:

To that someone (@frobeus.bsky.social), I simply say...
"Bruh..."

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Some ish doesn't warrant a reply but that kind of strategy may explain why the Kings are up 2-0 in the season series.

While Kyrie is certainly all star worthy and I have no problem with him being an all star; to base Sabonis all star “worthiness” on one random game vs Dallas seems a little short sighted. By all standards of measurement, Domas is putting up numbers only rivaled by Jokic. I mean, if we’re going to pull a single game, how about we look at the road win at Boston where Domas obliterated the Celtics front line to the tune of 23 points and 28 rebounds? Boom…All Star.

Put Sabonis on the mavs. Do you think the game is that close?

And i didn't base it off one random game. It was a head to head game, rifht after one was "snubbed". The fire should have been burning.

Naturally I don't follow mavs and Kyre, but yes based on that game and his career i might add, he deserves allstar. And it's not to say Sabonis doesn't, but I'm not mad at the pick was my whole point sir

Got you. I think I misinterpreted your post and was quick to respond. . I think we’re both in agreement that Sabonis is deserving.

 

[Caccia]

Sabonis still has a chance at All-NBA. He has played 69 games and is the league's leading rebounder. He has 13.9 per game compared to Jokić with 12.8. That's quite a lead.

Sabonis also says he wants to stay: <“I’m happy I’m in Sacramento. My offseason home’s in Napa. I couldn’t be happier here. I love the fans. I love playing for the city. I just wish we could perform better and give them what they deserve.”>
