I wouldn’t have minded Steph over Tony Parker. Not that Parker hasn’t been good this year.

Pierce was deserving (he actually should have taken KG’s spot) but I’d rather his old legs get the rest.

Jure Holliday is all the Sixers got. Bynam won’t be back in time, if at all.

I’m not going to sit here and say the Bulls deserve to have 3 all stars as they are not the #1 (or 2 or 3) team in the east. However a case can be made for Boozer. He leads the east in double doubles and is like 3rd or 4th in the league and is giving 17 and 10 a night. Not sure why the author would mention Pierce or even Jennings before him but reading previous opinions from this author it doesn’t really surprise me.

I agree Curry should be on the team, but not surprised because D.Lee was picked. Had a hard time thinking 2 warriors would make it after 1 turnarround season. If he keeps up his play, he should be penciled in next year WOAD

A.Bynum says he expects to return arroun all star game. If thats the case he should be starting center for the east, if not him B.Lopez. Bynum is clearly the most center in the league. Look what happened to the Lakers once the mistakenly decided to get rid of such a game changer

Agreed Aldridge was the least deserving of the Western reserves. Curry’s shooting and playmaking has been spectacular and Aldridge is getting major help from Lillard and Batum just to be an about .500 team. Curry wins this easily.

Curry and his glass ankles, please get off his nuts. He’s a chucker and a pure shooter, all at the same time. Their record is as good as it is bc they have KEY bench guys like jack/landry averaging close to 25pt/game. Also, Lee is a huge reason they’re winning. stephanie curry doesn’t get to take all the credit for winning.

Im sorry, that didn’t show as I meant it to.

Usage % * PER on X axis
Team Win % on Y axis

A sliver out of the top right hand corner are the all-stars

I think All-Star should be looked at as a graph: _________________ | \ | <- Allstar team win %| \ | | | |________________| usage % * PER

RUDY GAY WAS SNUBBED!!!

No way. Aldridge is on par with David Lee at the moment, Blazers are outperforming expectations with 0 bench, plus he already was one and has only improved his role since so its hard to take it away after a better performance.

How about: Curry over Dwight Howard?

dwayne wade should not be an all-star

Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors – Should have made it…though it’s hard for me to name a guard he should replace…I’m happy Lee made it at least.

Jamal Crawford, Los Angeles Clippers – Clippers already had CP3 and Blake Griffin, so I disagree that the Clippers “needed” a third All-Star. They’re a terrific team whose strength is balance, and they got 2 All-Stars. Crawford is fun to watch but is inefficient (shooting 41%), doesn’t do much in terms of assists or rebounds, and he is coming off the bench. If I can’t figure out which All-Star Stephen Curry should replace, there’s no guard on the roster worth replacing with Crawford. Like Harden with OKC, he’s not an All-Star, but Crawford remains a favorite for 6th man of the year.

Serge Ibaka, Oklahoma City Thunder. One of the most improved players in the league, but I wouldn’t put him ahead of either Zach Randolph or Lamarcus Aldridge, so I’m “okay” with him not being an All-Star…though I expect he will be next year if he keeps improving.

Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics. 2 All-Stars from a sub-0.500 team are enough. It was either Rondo and KG or Rondo and Pierce. Fans went with Rondo and KG. Pierce has also been slumping recently, with his FG% dropping to 42%. I’ve got plenty of respect for Pierce, but his numbers aren’t great and his team isn’t winning…

Brook Lopez, Brooklyn Nets. Lopez has played really well. Still – while he’s improved as a defender and rebounder, he’s still primarily an offense-first player. He’s a 7-footer being outrebounded by Kevin Durant and LeBron James – I can’t get too upset he’s not an All-Star.

Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee Bucks. Jennings was not deserving. He’s shooting 40.9%, and his PER of 17.5 is barely above league average (15).

You dont have to wait until 2014, I got one for you now, Steph Curry over Aldridge

By: cameltoehoe

cameltoehoe — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:02:08 +0000

The 7th pick is the wildcard & Aldridge shouldn’t have used up that spot with the Blazers’ record. Just because they made up for a horrible start doesn’t eclipse the Dubs 26 wins so far.

he didnt get snubbed the players at his position are just having a better season i wanted curry to make it but to many guards cp3 might not play his knee is acting up cp3 doesnt do anything at the all star game anyway

harden had a nice start but has cooled off n curry has been just as good n doesnt team record have anything to do if ur playing well

New Rule – You can’t whine about a snub without clearly defining which 2014 All-Star Reserve Selection you would replace snubbed player with.

FYI – I have no problem with Rusty, Jimmy Harden and TP being ahead of Curry…none at all.

Yeah, right. Three All-stars from a sub-500 Celtic team. Thank- you coaches, for not going there.
