Just thinking that with Rondo out - that obviously opens a slot for another player. one of the issues I think they had with putting Paul into the game was having 3 Celtics when they were not playing great. Does he get the nod?
-
I hope not, and I don't think he should honestly.
-
Has to right? Him or Lopez. Not sure how Stern feels about Josh Smith.
-
Honestly, why not?
He might retire at the end of the year, so give him the nod out of respect.
-
he hasn't had an all star first half of the season, no
-
It will be Brook Lopez.
He'll be the first injury replacement regardless of position. They'll want to get a guy from Brooklyn in there and Brook Lopez has been the consensus All-Star snub in the Eastern Conference from all the articles I have read.

Lopez deserves it, and honestly, looking at the starting lineups before Rondo's injury, I thought the east was going to get crushed as the west has Griffin and Howard starting against KG as the only big guy starting for the east. Replace Rondo with a big man or else it won't be much of a game.

He was also won the fan vote for biggest snub over Lopez.
Pierce is a full 4 points above Deng in terms of PER.
