Andre Drummond and Al Jefferson are better than every east reserve and thats a fact numbers dont lie

[doordoor123]

Cousins is probably the best center in the NBA right now. It's understandable because he's on a team that's under .500 (which is kind of bull because the best players should be playing).

Having said that, Kyle Lowry should 100% be in this game before Joe Johnson. But Joe Johnson has been unstoppable in some games recently. That shouldn't instantly make him an all-star though. It seems like he is just there to represent his team that is a top team in the East.

But then where is Goran Dragic who is carrying a team to be one of the best teams in the West? As good as Anthony Davis is, Dragic deserves it more. He's on a team over .500 and he's been doing it without Bledsoe.

BTW, who is guarding LeBron James, Paul George, DeMar DeRozan, Carmelo Anthony and Joe Johnson? Looks like it is all up to Kevin Durant. Everyone else is out-positioned. I could see Harden getting time at forward, but if Kobe is gone, he's going to need to be replaced by someone that can fill that role. Unless Blake Griffin is going to play Small Forward.

My guess is that Dragic takes Kobe's spot.

If it were me, I'd switch Duncan and Nowitzki. take out Tony Parker and put in Dragic. Aldridge and Nowitzki are too similar of player. No idea who I'd put in Kobe's spot though. The East is going to wreck the West right now.

you worry too much, you're gonna have a heart attack. it's just the all star game, nobody cares about the ideal matchups while voting for the players.

johnson over lowry is the only outragous decision by the coaches. dragic and davis have been nice, but so have been the voted players. there are only 7 spots

Dragic and it's not even close

I would take Duncan, Aldridge, Noah, Cousins, Howard, M Gasol, Lopez, and Drummond over Roy Hibbert... I've watched Hibbert play a lot and I just don't understand the hype. I think he became extremely overrated playing for a top team. First of all, he's a terrible rebounder... 7 boards a game when you're 7'2" is unacceptable. He's a very overrated defender. He's unatheletic and doesn't play good help defense because he's slow to get across the lane. He also has no versatility on defense, he can guard big slow centers, THATS IT... 11 PPG on 46% isn't impressing anyone. AND he averages more TOs than assists

Bro you better call a doctor quick, clearly you are sufffering from some kind of mental distress if you think Andre Drummond and Al Jefferson are better than roy hibbert and chris bosh. Drummond has alot of potential to be a superstar 2 or 3 seasons down the road but he doesn't play nearly as physical as hibbert and he is the worst free throw shooter in the league. Had he made the all star game he'd be the only player on both rosters benched by their coach in a regular season game for poor play. Than big al is even a worse selection for the allstar game if you think he should be in over Chris Bosh. Jefferson is an awful defender and only puts up #s on bad teams, coaches are smart enough to know that. Bosh is the most deserving of his spot among all the east reserves. He scores, rebounds, defends, passes and does basically everything a coach would want in a big man at an efficient level. Haters bich about his stats cause he doesn't average 20 and 10 like other dominant power forwards/centers but he averages 17 and 7 as the third option behind two of the league's top scorers. The coaches know which players are the best and can see inflated stats due to contract years, more shots and etc. This is the reason joe johnson got in the game over lowry and stephenson who are just putting effort in this season to cash in on their contracts, neither player is likely to sustain their current level of play past this season.

It's close, but I agree it should be Dragic.

That's funny because low free throw % never stoped centers from being an all star before and your ignoring the fact that Drummond is third in fg% and rebounds which is higher than anyone is the whole eastern conference. Noah averages less points, rebounds, and blocks and has a noticeably lower player efficiency rating. Don't even get me started on Hilbert because his numbers are worse but he is a great defender and his team has the best record in the league so I have no problem with Hibbert getting in.

[Rated T By CBRA]

Just amazing, and baffling how Joe Johnson got into the All-Star game ahead of Lowry and Lance Stephenson. Slow, sarcastic hand-clap for the coaches that made that decision...

Yeah and Pacers only lost 2 games at home all year. I guess it's because they have an overrated center he doesn't instill fear into every player who attacks the rim. Are you kidding me? Ask Melo if Hibbert should be there.

[zronv7]

Davis without question.

It's close, but I agree it should be Dragic.

It may be me being a suns fan, but yes, I completely agree with you. We're only the 6th seed in the stacked west predicted to be the 14-15th seed and a lot of this has been without Bledsoe, so dragic has had to play his best and has done good.

[KnickerBonkerz]

You can't really make a case for Dragic because who are you going to put him ahead of? In the East however there is one guard that does not belong...

My vote goes to Lowry, Raptors bias

Lillard?
