I know it is early in the season but humor me with this one.

The Celtics are playing phenomenal defense and sharing the ball. We look like the best team in basketball. However, a lot of people determine all stars by their numbers. Pierce has scored a lot and I believe him to be a lock. After that I believe the picture gets cloudy. Kg's scoring and rebounding will be down this year is he still a lock. Ray is going to play less minutes and score less points is he a lock? Rondo will be near the top of the league in assists but might not average ten points a game.

So it's prediction time, how many Celtics do you believe will make the all star team? 2, 3 or 4? Who do you think they will be. Tommy Points to those who get this correct.

Rondo and Pierce will make it. Neither will start. Garnett and Allen could possibly make it if another player is to get injured.

Not sure how Rondo will make it given his low scoring average and that non-Celtics fans pretty much hate him.

Pierce on the other hand, is playing out of this world. If he keeps that up, he'll be a lock for sure.

Garnett will be voted a starter by the fans.

I think Garnett might get voted in, probably will unless Yi Jianlian gets his spot. Pierce is a lock, imo. I think he's starting an MVP-canidate type season. Then with everyone hyping Rondo right now, I think the coaches might vote him in, too.

I hope Ray Ray makes it, however I don't think he will.

I think Lester could sneak into the starting line-up :P

KG will make it, voted by the fans. Pierce and Rondo will make it on the bench, voted by the coaches. However, I think Ray won't make it, unfortunately... because I think he will deserve to be there. And this time, even injuries won't allow him to get a spot (since the NBA doesn't like to have too many players from the same team in the ASG, especially if they are more than 3). I hope I'm wrong about Ray though, I would really like to see him voted in 10 All-Star Games for his career.

  • Yup
If the Celts are on an historical start to the season, the NBA will reward them with 4 All Stars.

I think KG, Pierce and Rondo all make it.  Rondo probably a coaches selection.  Ray might make it if there are injuries.

I don't think KG will start.  I suspect the NBA will do something weird with how it lists players positions, and the starting lineup will be: Shaq, Howard, LBJ, Wade, Jameer Nelson.

I think Pierce will get in. KG will definitely be voted in to start by the fans. Fans love him for most part, and as the season rolls along he will continue to get healthier and thus his stats will improve.

Rajon Rondo deserves to make it. He MAY not score enough points though. He is great with the assists, steals, and rebounds, but fans really notice points. If he can bump hs average up to between 13-16 points, I say he gets in.

Ray Allen would be great as well, and I believe that his production will warrant a selection.

What team has sent the most All Stars before during a season?

And Perk should make it next year or year after next. Funny thing is that he has outplayed or has been extremely effective against nearly EVERY center ths season thus far.

Perk did run into a roadblock somewhat with Dalembert. Did not see game, though, so there may be a good reason for it.

I will go out on a limb and say that Perk is the 4th best center in the East RIGHT NOW...Dwight, Shaq, Lopez, then Perk.

With the lack of scoring, Rondo might have a tough time getting in. Remember, they aren't solely picking PGs, they're picking just guards.

Arenas
Jennings
Wade
Gordon
Johnson
Lou Williams
Rondo

I think those at the moment are the top-tier guards at the moment (based on how they're currently playing)

Then you have all these guys that can surely make a case for themselves as the season goes on, but aren't there yet:

Ray Allen
Nelson
Rose
Mo

In all, I think it's still going to be tough for Rondo. But hopefully he'll get rewarded for his passing, since no one is near him in assists.
