    Well, the ballots were released today for this years All Star Game in Orlando.  Our Portland Trail Blazers squad has a Western Conference-high six players on the ballot.
    Those players are: Raymond Felton, Wesley Matthews, LaMarcus Aldridge, Gerald Wallace, Nicolas Batum, and Marcus Camby. 

    Voting ends January 31st and the teams will be announced February 2nd. 

    My questions to you Blazers fans:

    Who do you believe will make it to the All-Star Game from the Blazers?

    Who do you WANT to make the All Star Team from Portland?

    What kind of an impact do you think Portland will have around the league if they should say, get two or more players?

    As they say, "vote early and vote often."

    With the advantage of player numbers, and the fans in the City of Portland and elsewhere, there may be a couple players, if not more, lacing it up in Florida this season.

    I am a fan of Cambus taking a team to the finals after another lockout.

    you have to remember portland is a relatively small town compared to most, and calculate in that we get near no respect on espn and nba.com (though they are realizing it's hard not to talk after we make okc look like a bunch of rookies) also remember stern hates the blazers for no reason, maybe because we sell tickets without a poster boy and dont fit his mold for success?

    that said

    i think if batum got more minutes and the refs didnt hound him he'd be going

    i think aldridge deserves to go because he's the best at his position but im sure dirk, love, duncan, gasol, zbo, all get mroe love than him if not from fans, from stern. i think aldridge will make it this year though.

    i think gerald deserves it as well but its still early in the season, his only real competition at SF in the west is durrant that i can think of?

    wes and felton miss cause the west is stacked with guards.

    camby might actually make it but i hope not as i dont want him wasting his legs, we need him in portland!

    That pretty nice that we have six players on the list too bad it's a popularity contest. I see the coaches picking LA, Gerald and Felton. Matthews has a shot (if someone injured) if that happens it will be just like when Boston and Detroit had four players in the allstar game and thats why i like that the coaches get to pick the reserves because they see who truly deserves to be there.

    2 would be great but I really only see LA going, maybe gerald?
    I am a fan of of the L-Train and Batman slamming one home, and Wes holstering his 3 goggles!

    Felton could be the other. Question. With Ginobli out for two months for the Spurs, and Randolph also out two months, i would think that both those squads just took a huge hit in offensive production. True or false ?

    You think Sacramento will trade 2014 1st rd pick for our 10th pick? That will for sure give us a nice lottery pick next year, then trade the lottery pick and a vet either Matthews or Batum for the number 1 pick in 2014, yup, you guess it, Andrew W...

    I love the Grit and Grind, and I love the Spurs timeless play. I think if the Spurs get to the finals, they will beat the heat, but they won''t beat the Grizzlies easily, and the Grizz can''t beat the Heat. I know it''s weird.
