D White as an All Star 🌟
If he didn’t get it last year, I think there’s even less of a chance this year
yeah, hasn’t really been great the past month+, like the rest of the team
Exactly. I’m not sure what the numbers say but the naked eye says he’s been struggling for a little bit of time now. Every now and then he gets hot, but it’s fewer and further in between.
Love White. Happy he made the Olympic team and got a long term deal for 9 figures. Grateful for his performance last year in the title run.
I’m not sure how a guy averaging 16,4,4 deserves an All-Star spot when we are only 30-13 this year and already have 2. Like no shots but this is kind of just silly homer stuff.
57 win pace isnt bad
Tbh we only deserve 1 this year
We’re the 2 seed with 2 superstars… we deserve 2
We don’t
He’s had a pretty bad shooting slump these last couple months I don’t see it happening. I think if KP had been healthy all season he would’ve had better chance (maybe over a Jarret Allen)
He’s not close this year, last year he had a halfway solid argument but if Garland is on the fence the way Cleveland is playing DWhite has no chance. He doesn’t look right recently to my eye, he’s not being aggressive at all
Agreed. He has been streaky this season and his shots are not falling every other game. Lacks consistency.
To my eye it’s more than the shot not falling, he’s not driving to the basket much either, even his defense doesn’t look as strong as usual, it’s like he’s lost confidence or playing hurt. But that might be reading more into it than is actually there
I think he is still aggressive when it comes to blocking the shots. But you’re right he’s not driving the ball much or setting up the plays.
He never was aggressive. He just plays better when our ball offense/movement is good
That’s fair, if the offense isn’t flowing he’s not getting rim opportunities in the flow either. Are his ballhandling numbers down? Just feels like he’s not involved like he used to be, like he’s ceding touches he used to get more of
No he really doesn’t deserve it
Not this year unfortunately
Who’s gonna tell em
Nah he’s been worse this year offensively, and he didn’t get in last year. I think having 2 all stars is about right for this team. KP could have been one if healthy all year but that didn’t happen.
I love D White but unless there are a few injuries in the east or players move to the west he is unlikely to ever make an all-star team this year or in the next couple.
Quick list of guys he would have to beat out.
Mitchell, Garland, Brunson, Dame, Haliburton, Trae, Cade, Lamelo. That’s already 8 guards and only a maximum of 6 can make it. Add in Hero and Maxey as competition and the reality of D-White being an all-star is pretty slim.
It’s unfortunate that he went cold at the wrong time
I think if he was continuing what he was doing at the beginning of the season and did that over the past month, he’d probably get an ASG nod. He was close to cracking 20ppg on great defense and then went cold
I love D-white, his hussle & defense that doesn’t show up in states is what made him make the Olympic team. (Same with holliday, along with leadership). But D-white has had a couple months of bad shooting, (& quite frankly him & jrue & even J.T just look tired.)
So unfortunately with those things, D-White won’t be an all-star. I really think the all star break will help jrue & d-white get their legs back.
If Derrick White stayed consistent, then most def he wiuld be an all star but let him shine because last season he was doing great so let white do his thing and we should be good!
Ain’t no fucking way he’s an all star this year. I love d white but he’s been slumping
He had a cold spell last year too after his interview with Reddick. It happens.
Yes 100000000%
I don’t see it. There are too many players on other teams outplaying him this year. His value to the Celtics though makes him a local all star.
Maybe last year. What he has shown so far this season is not it. If KP has been healthy since the beginning of the season, he may have a better shout than D White

You could make the argument he should’ve been an all star last season but this season I don’t see it.
Please, let our guys get some rest.
I wish him the best, but I am fine with our guys resting that weekend.
Do the guys even want to be all-stars? When will they get a break if they play through the all star break?
Not that cracker
