Name your All Star Reserves
They're going to announce them next week. The polls will close at 3pm PST on January 31. I'll tally up the votes and see how close we come.
East Starters: Garnett, James, Howard, Wade, Kidd
West Starters: Duncan, Anthony, Yao, Bryant, Iverson
Must have two guards, two forwards, a center, and two of any position for each conference.

I honestly believe Baron deserves it more than either of those guys. The one that is gonna be tough is Brandon Roy. Aside from the fact that he's playing so well, it would be really tough to have noone from Portland selected after what they've done so far.
If I was coaching the west, I'd be sorely tempted to carry 6 guards.
crzyyafrican makes the best sigs, quite frankly

of course baron is more deserving, especially when he's carrying the team on one shoulder...i understand brandon is gonna be a tough one to consider, but only because that dude is kissing some major ass with those iRoys...
6 guards...that's the possibility right now because the center and forward positions are kinda thin because of injuries...when is carmelo coming back?
on a side note...steve nash should be starting...but whatever...it's a popularity thang

Jamison is having his best season of his career so far and its an allstar worth first half so far.
i think Richard Jefferson deserves some love too on the East and Joe Johnson deserves some attention as well. i dont think Pierce should be on the team (Jefferson is having a better season and hes not playing with Ray or KG)
Also, Deron Williams has a good chance at making the squad as well. Roy could be a wild card if Portland has a better record than us at the break. Kaman should get some attention as well.
Lets Go Baron Davis...i dont care what jersey you put on. Lets go.
Big Smooth is focused and ready to handle the centers of the league.
Curry and Ellis will be a top 5 back court this season. 6/25/2010

Smith is having a better season though. two less points and rebounds, but he's averaging 3 blocks and two steals. Dude just changes the game more than Tawn does.

It'll be Josh Smith over Jamison. It's too bad Kidd is the starter. There's no way he deserves to play this year, despite him going for so many triple-doubles. Billups should start and Joe Johnson should've been the other guard instead of Kidd.
In the West, it's either Baron Davis or Brandon Roy. I'd hate to see either get snubbed for Parker or Manu. The only reason Davis gets snubbed for Roiy is because there's already 3 point guards on the roster (Nash, Paul, Iverson). Davis would make 4. If Amare makes it, Marion gets snubbed. There can't be 3 Suns. I hope it's either Roy or Davis.

Josh and Joe?
They've won 17 games.

West Reserve: Paul, Nash, Baron, Roy, Boozer, Dirk, Amare
All 10 good teams get a selection. 5 post players, 7 perimeter players. Granted the perimeter players are a bit small, but the West is a lot stronger at pg than sf.
East Reserve: Billups, Allen, Butler, Pierce, Jamison, Bosh, Sheed
All 6 good teams get a selection, with 3 Celtics due to their dominance. Josh Smith could make it in place of Jamison (or perhaps Sheed if you call Bosh a center). Allen could be replaced by Johnson, Redd or Hamilton.

Anthony is the biggest waste of space on the west team. Just take six guards. No one wants to watch Melo patting himself on the back for hitting 17footers with no one playing defense.
LF compared him to Nique the other day. At least Nique was an entertaining loser.

The position thing bugs me. Just put in the 12 best players and let the coaches decide where to play them. Melo starting over Boozer because Duncan has to play PF is a shame. I also think the head coach should have lone discretion as to who makes the team. It makes the all star coaching position actually mean something.

Brandon Roy (IMO the most overrated player in the league by far, since the media seems to have a mancrush on him now ) doesn't belong in the same league as Baron. Baron destroys him in all aspects of the game. 22-5-8-2-~1 >>>>>> 19-5-5 anyday. Baron has also carried us from being down by double digits to winning by double digits while scoring 15 + points in a quarter. When Brandon Roy buries clutch shots in the Spurs and Lakers' faces, gets two 30-5-10 games and gets two 20-5-5-5 games, all the while slowing down elite offensive stars, then he MIGHT be close.
Also, call me crazy, but Baron should start over Nash or Paul. Nash assists the opposing offense as much as his own with his horrible defense, and Paul can't guard stronger players like Baron can or drive at will and would get abused by the guys Baron takes on all the time. No other PG in the league causes as many problems for opponents as Baron does; he drives opposing players nuts all the time. Also, Paul will have his chance to start
PS- Not that this shows anything important, but a recent TNT poll showed that more people wanted Baron to be the starting West PG in the ASG than anyone else.

and Baron can't guard quicker players like Paul can and would get abused by the guys Paul takes on all the time.
If Baron drove more, he'd be an MVP. But that's his problem.
