I know this has been hit on in some of the other threads, but predictions on the reserves and subs?

Sub reserves voted on by coaches: 2 backcourt, 3 front court, and 2 at any position.

East All-Stars:
Irving
Wade
George
Anthony
LBJ

West All-Stars:
Kobe
Love
Griffin
Curry
Durant


West reserves:
Howard
Aldridge
Unibrow
Dirk
Lillard
Harden
Parker (unless CP3 is healthy)
Dragic (sub)

Did not include Westbrook or CP3 because I am unsure on their status for ASG.


East is difficult to find enough:
John Wall
Kyle Lowry
Lance Stephenson
Hibbert
Bosh
Noah
Paul Millsap

I think DeMar DeRozan and Al Jefferson may be there.

Duncan is currently 4th in the West in blocks, 7th among WC PF in points and 5th in rebounds (alternatively, 5th and 6th among WC C). It's not really an all-star resume, but it might be good enough to sneak in on the career achievement plan. It's about 90,000 times better than Bryant's all-star resume, anyway.

Booooring. Where is Terrence Ross?

Looking at those lists of starters is an example of why the number of all star selections should never be used when comparing player's careers.

Reserves announced:

East roster:

Carmelo Anthony
Chris Bosh
DeMar DeRozan
Paul George
Roy Hibbert
Kyrie Irving
LeBron James
Joe Johnson
Paul Millsap
Joakim Noah
Dwyane Wade
John Wall


West roster (pre-injury replacements)
LaMarcus Aldridge
Kobe Bryant
Stephen Curry
Kevin Durant
Blake Griffin
James Harden
Dwight Howard
Damian Lillard
Kevin Love
Dirk Nowitzki
Tony Parker
Chris Paul

Meanwhile Dragic puts 28 up against the Pacers in Indiana, handing them their first home loss of 2014.

Dragon will fill in for Kobe.

So do most fans watch this weekend, or take it off?

I honestly have no desire to watch the game. No one plays defense until the last few minutes and neither team really cares about winning.

I'll say that Kobe probably cared about winning the whole time though.

I'm watching the 3 pt comtest now. I'll watch it and the dunk contest. I'll watch a little bit tomorrow, if Dirk plays well I might stay tuned otherwise ill flip around.

I realize I'm wierd. I like this and the MLB All Star Game. Not a fan of the Pro Bowl though.

Drake sighting in the dunk contest. No JFF though.

I like that they tried to change up the dunk contest but not having a round where they go against each other individually was awful, just pitiful.

Love this Harden-Anthony Davis commercial

A definitive lack of dunks

The best field since 2000 and the NBA still managed to ruin it with that trash format. What a waste.

Im such a degenerate I have some $$ on this

Pretty good opening with Pharell and company

"Grindin'" x Eastern Conference = TUFF

Why would you put money on an all star game?

Chad Hugo sighting. Nice.

All star game gonna be like Aggie Football... no defense

Snoop's still got it.

I like these warm-up jackets.
