Link, or got full list?

Western Conference All-Star Reserves:

Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Russell Westbrook, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Steve Nash and Marc Gasol

Eastern Conference All-Star Reserves:

Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, Luol Deng, Andre Iguodala, Roy Hibbert, Paul Pierce
Thank You, I had forgotten Tony Parker.

No problem

I'm not bummed, rest for the oldies (but goodies) and RR who is coming off an injury!!! In this short smushed in season, I couldn't ask for more... REST, how sweet it is!!!

Even though he probably didn't have a chance, something in me still wanted KG to be on the All Star team

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
I'm ok with it.  Ray started hot but has been just so-so (by his high standards) since.  Rondo would be a major snub if he hadn't missed so many games, but not only was he out a long time, the team did well without him.  Honestly I'd put KG in before Rondo just based on season-long contribution.

And I don't mind the fellas getting a little rest over the long weekend either.  Could use it in the shortened season.

EDIT: Also don't rule out injury replacements.  Ray's gotten in at least once that way that I can remember.

He absolutely deserved it over Bosh.

May not be putting up the same numbers, but twice the player Bosh is even now.

I knew that wasn't going to happen...wasn't expecting it at all. I figured Pierce and either Ray or Rondo.

If you can accept Paul Pierce, you have to accept D. Will.

Deng and Johnson shouldnt have made it over Rondo.
Sorry. Deng isnt a all star player in my eyes. And Johnson sure hasnt played as one this year.
Josh Smith should have got Johnsons spot. And Rondo should have got Deng. But as far as i know.. Deng is injured and may not make it back?? Rondo still has a chance who knows.

I think the real story here is the changing of the guard so to speak.  No KG.  No Duncan.  No Ray.  We're talking 10-14 years since those guys haven't all been all-stars.

For those who are arguing against D-Will, can you imagine the outrage there would be around here if Rondo were averaging 20/8 and got passed over?

I love seeing Shaq defending Rondo and Pierce against Chuck's ignorance. 
What did Chuck say again?? ::)
"Life has so many hurdles. Some of them I've hopped over, some of them I've tripped over. The key is to get back up and finish the race."- Paul Pierce

And he did finish...
