Sheed makes AS team - Will replace KG.

I'm pretty surprised because it was Stern's choice and Sheed had very negative comments about the league and the refs this summer, and how they wanted Lebron in the finals.

Also every comment from Sheed about the All-Star game, he made it clear he'd be happier spending time with his family, hoped the coaches would vote for other players that were more deserving then him.

Sheed as a injury replacement, maybe. But over Bosh and the other Forwards who deserved to be in the All Star game as the Starter?! Sheed, the man on a mission? nah.... cant be..

Replaces him on the team.

Coach Doc Rivers will decide who starts.

Sheed wont be the starter
He just replace the spot that Bosh originally has
since Bosh would very likely be the starter

Wow, Hedo got robbed. At least this opens the door for Bosh to start at PF.

It all came down to needing another big C or PF.

It probably came down to guys like Sheed, Big Z, etc.

Hedo was more deserving, and if it was a guy like Butler being injured Hedo would have likely got the nod.

We have a link ladies and gentleman. :clap:

Dunno what to make of this though. I would think a guy like Turkoglu is much more deserving as a forward unless they wanted to go with a legit big man.

Lol.. and people complained when fans wanted Jose in the reserves saying his numbers aren't that attractive. Well, sheed is 12/7 guy and he still got in. So much for numbers.

Hedo or Crash should have gotten it instead of Sheed..

Turkoglu has played a lot of PF this year, how can he NOT make it over a guy avging 12+7? Turk is avging like 19+6. WTF

No surprise to me. It was either him or Big Z. Just think, at this rate, Bargs will be in the allstar game in no time.
