Teague, Horford and Sap are All-stars

[Sothron]

Very glad to see this. I'm hopeful that Korver gets in for the injured Wade. I'm glad DF didn't listen to me when I wanted him to not match Teague's offer sheet. :p

[Jody23]

Congratulations to Paul, Al and Jeff. If Wade can't go, then Kyle should be the replacement. He should have made it in the first place, but...

@kg01 I actually did this:

[lethalweapon3]

Best possible guard combo with Wade and Kyrie in. Wade is unlikely to participate in the ASG (he told the media today he "won't be seeing y'all for awhile"), and nobody is caping for Brandon Knight so hard that replacing Wade with Korver (the one completely non-point-guard guard) would cause an uproar.

@hawksfanatic ... 

Oh snap, thanks for the reminder. Got to pick up that new bottle of before the ABC Stores close at 9 tonight. Need to make sure it's nice and chilled for tomorrow's showdown.

Oh and once we get Kyle in, those four need to wear black "JYD" patches and Bud plays a man down with those 4 for the first minute of the 2nd quarter.

Well deserved!  And people think we don't have talent.

 

Kyle will get in now that Wade's year is done

[Mully]

Yay for Jeffy. Still think there is improvement for the young man chiefly that killer instinct. When he gets that he wont be able to be stopped.

 

Also well done to Milsap and Horf, hopefully KK gets in there too.

[Spursfanpeacemaker]

Congrats to Millsap, Horford and specially Jeff Teague ( i have a strong man crush on him, no homo) for making it in All Star reserve. I wish Korver was selected too, but i guess its fine, he's been already selected to compete for the three point contest.

 

They are finally getting recognition for their hardwork. Im really happy for them. They deserved it.

I'm proud of these guys! I knew sap and horford would make it but I thought they would look over teague though I thought it was clear he's an all star this year!

I'm lost with words on this teams accomplishments...hopefully Korver gets in for Wade and we have 4 Hawks! I can't wait to see the season continue this is the best regular season year the Hawks have ever had! Again I'm proud of our Hawks team and organization!

[bumpyphish1]

Korver's been the most efficient of all.  He is having an ALL-TIME GREAT shooting year.

 

He better frickin' get tapped.

[DS17Fanboy]

Oops wrong quote. Its the ones about Al stepping up after a "bad start".

Al Horford played great in allot of respects all year long. For him to make 18 PPG in recent games as many hear demanded from him, he had to shoot 60% from the field with that mid-range game he has incorporated in much of his game.

 

Thats extra special and no one can demand him to stay on that level regarding that part of his game. He also grabbed one rebound per game more, the last month, but its still two less rebounds per game than his career average.

 

I dont think Horford got worse. Do you? He just plays a different winning games role now and he did so al year long.

Another in season win for the Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwks!

It is great to be a fan of this team. Props to Al, Paul, and Jeff.  

Here's to seeing Kyle join the party

[buckeye242424]

Since Korv is participating in the festivities, he has three boys playing.... His coach is in charge.... Give him a damn uniform.

[LamarHampton]

Is there any timeframe on hearing if Kyle "OTP" Korver (or whomever) makes it in as Wade`s replacement? Sounds like Wade`s recovery time might take him right up to the ASB, and don't they usually need to give the replacement a few days notice? Anyone know when Silver makes the decision, or is it just whenever?

[macdaddy]

Man, I really thought it would just be Teague and Sap.   With the coaches and players participating we've got damn near everybody going to the game.    

[benhillboy]

Big honor for Teague, Sap and Al know what it's like. I persoanlly don't care because I know they don't. I rather they get the rest and stay low-key but whatever. I've turned into some self-centered, highly-entitled Hawks fan in 3 months. Gross, I know.

Avery Johnson made a point that I never really thought about but its true: we get so hung up on AS appearances when the end-of-season All NBA Teams are much more important and telling of a players impact. We could very we'll have our entire starting 5 represented, maybe even more, when All-NBA and All-Defense comes around.

We already have Executive and Coach locked up, we need that 1 seed and the entire roster chilling in the cryochamber a week before the postseason.

A very late decision could be good for kyle since he will be in NY already for the 3PT-contest.

But maybe Silver decides to give this spot to the RisingStars MVP
