At least he has a narrative for All-NBA now.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

I think the all-star "snub" was a big part of the reason Lillard was all-NBA. Perhaps Isaiah can ride this narrative to the third team.

IT not being a starter would be a travesty, but Westbrook not being a starter in favor of Curry is downright an abomination. The dude is averaging a triple double.

Well, this should finally give Westbrook that chip on his shoulder that he's been missing.

Isn't he the writer who called Thomas a fake all-star last year?

I guess some people will finally get their wish for IT to come off the bench.

Thought starting ASG would be a long shot for IT, but I don't see anyway he's left out completely. He should be a coaches selection easy. Westbrook deserved the start over Curry, IMO.

At least Zaza isn't starting. That would've been ridiculous.

It's who's out there the last 6 minutes of the game that really matters.  That's when things tend to get real in ASGs.

If IT's out there then, be proud.  Don't worry too much about the whole starter/non-starter thing.

Looks like IT got screwed by the fan vote. He tied with Derozan but the fan vote ultimately screwed him since Derozan got more of the fan vote.
