I actually expected the voting to be extremely tight but it turned out to be pretty much a two horse race from the get go. It was neck and neck between Bertens and Vulcan however the last 3 voters really had impact on who were going to be starter. Bertans received 9 maximum votes compared to Vulcan who only grabbed 3 votes. This meant that Bertens clearly leapfrogged ahead of Vulcan to become the East Point Guard starter.

Csörgõ's numbers alone were already going to be difficult to challenge this season and as shown he dominated the voting. However some unexpected twists and turns saw backup spot became an extremely close race. The final vote made the difference with Kesonen receiving one vote while Garbos receiving zilch! So it came down to a tie breaker.
It was difficult choice as both really deserve to be selected as an allstar. Both were popular with managers with Garbos voted 6 times and Kesonen 7 times although Garbos received the maximum 3 votes twice compared to Kesonen once. Also going through MVP votes, they were equal which was no help there. So in the end I had to look at statistics and individual games. Statistically they were even if comparison per 36 minutes but one thing that won me over was the defensive side of Kesonen with way more steals and blocks. So Kesonen gets the vote ahead of Garbos.

Johnson fantastic Fishbowl season so far was rewarded the title as best East Small Forward garnering 10 out of 12 maximum votes by the Fishbowl managers. However not be forgotten, Faka stormed home over the top of Pronin with 12 votes to 3 to also grab an allstar spot as backup.
