Great to see you back here leaving your thoughts on the Raptors. In regards to your comment, I think people didn't give him the credit last year because he wasn't the starting point guard early in the season. What I heard from other people who covered the team is voters were hesitant to let someone who was a back-up for the first quarter of the season earn a trip to the all-star game. Hopefully the fact that he's fifth in voting among guards helps to persuade coaches to give him a spot in Phoenix this February. Johnn19 – Thanks for the comment!

You don't think a guy who is third in the NBA in assists while having a great Assist-to-turnover ratio warrants a spot in the game? To me, that sounds like the definition of a floor general. While Devin Harris can score at will, I want my point to get other people involved. Imagine of Calderon's teammates would actually hit their shots? Then his stats would be through the roof. Sorry, I don't do code for the site. I just used a template and I'm not sure how to tweak things. Arse – Really?

He is getting no attention this year due to the teams poor play, and the changes from Mitchell to Triano. Scoring is a big attention getter(Harris) , as well as team success (Nelson), and Jose loses in both cases,as he is a pass 1st offense manager as a PG. In the initial all-star voting released he is 5th in guard voting, (1st PG) after Wade, AI, Carter, Allen.

He can't come out and say "No, Jose is not worthy of an All-Star call". I don't Jose's "detractors" are wrong, they're just calling things the way they are. He needs get a lot better on both ends of the floor before we seriously even start considering him an All-Star. The US folks love his A/TO ratio but those of us who watch the games know better. Also - it took me 3 minutes to figure out how to post a comment here. Show the form by default. Ryan – all due respect but Triano’s only saying that because the guy is his starting PG.
