God damn 4 people playing for a LA team in the West starting lineup.

Iguodala does not deserve it over Kyrie just because he's on a good team.
I'd argue he does.

13 PPG - 7 RPG - 5 APG - 2 SPG - 46% FG% - 39% 3P% on a 16-6 team

VS

18 PPG - 3 RPG - 5 APG - 1 SPG - 51% FG% - 41% 3P% on a 8-12 team

Rookies don't typically make it to the All-Star game either... Wasn't Griffin the first in awhile last year? First since Yao? He was voted in by China too... Duncan in '98 looks like the last rookie selected as a reserve.

I'm not saying Irving isn't deserving, but he's got a lot going against him (rookie / bad team).

My guesses for who is picked as the reserves -

Code:
G - Deron Williams		G - Russell Westbrook
G - Joe Johnson			G - Tony Parker
F - Andre Iguodala		F - Kevin Love
F - Chris Bosh			F - LaMarcus Aldridge
C - Roy Hibbert			C - Al Jefferson

WC - Paul Pierce		WC - Dirk Nowitzki
WC - Josh Smith			WC - Danilo Gallinari
Is Dirk deserving? Hell no... I think he gets selected by the coaches though.

Hibbert definitely deserves it over Greg. More boards, more blocks, better FG%, similar in PPG.

Hibbert is playing less minutes, has more offensive weapons that they spread the ball around to, and is on a winning team.

DaJuan Summers just picked up 2 fouls in the first 20 seconds of the game.

Rose owning the 4th quarter.

Boozer's lol-worthy D did not help matters... I'd go as far as saying it was largely his fault that the game is as close as it is.

Melo still sucks.

10-26 from the field lol

They honestly need to trade him and get similar players to what they traded for him. That group could have grown into a nice team and adding Tyson to that team would have been a great move.

Piston fans, make sure to tune into the game Saturday during the fourth quarter. You will see your guys do things you couldn't dream of.
