All Star Reserves

Duncan over Love = laughable

I guess there really is a lifetime achievement award.

**BobHarvey** · 02-04-11, 12:34 AM

I have a lot of problems with that list.

There are too many Celtics, Spurs and Heat.

They need to adopt baseball's policy..one player from each team. That way Love, Ellis, Nash don't get overlooked.

**Untied** · 02-04-11, 12:49 AM

LaMarcus Aldridge had 40 points and dominated Tim Duncan the other night. He's outperformed Griffin and Love head to head as well.

L.A. should get the spot, but Love deserves to be there too.

No Nene?

Who comes from the Cavs?

Toronto?

Wizards?

Kings?

Shall I go on?

Bad idea brah.

**THEGREAT30** · 02-04-11, 12:56 AM

Good list Blake Griffin should not be there over Monta Ellis. Ellis has been putting up numbers for years, Griffin does it one year and they *** on themselves

They'd have to expand the rosters by 3 just to have 1 from each team, and then you'd have some great players left off in favor of weak ones. No Dwyane Wade, and which 3 Celtics are undeserving?

**rem sleep** · 02-04-11, 01:02 AM

The biggest snub has got to be Kevin Love. Leads the NBA in rebounds per game and i'm pretty sure double doubles. I give him a slight edge over LA who has been beasting lately.

**tcmoody99** · 02-04-11, 01:10 AM

How the **** did Ellis get let off. Even Kobe says he's the man

**DeluxeLiner** · 02-04-11, 01:15 AM

Love gets rebounds from the poor shooting of his terrible team. A ton of garbage time stats and a ton of time against second string doesn't make you an all star. Put him on a good team and he is a role player (an average one at that). All stars should not be role players.

**demens** · 02-04-11, 01:25 AM

Kevin Love does not deserve an all-star spot people, he plays on the one of the worst teams in the league, get over it.

Duncan is in there because the Spurs have an incredible record, same goes for the 4 Celtics. I read somewhere that Nash is gonna be the one replacing Yao, not sure if thats true. It should be Parker. I would be ok with just 2 Spurs on there and Aldridge instead of Duncan but definitely not Love.

In the East they totally threw Bosh a bone, he has no business to be on that team. Heats record isn't deserving of 3 guys. The hype machine shat itself with the 3 Kings campaign. Dont get me wrong, Bosh is an excellent 3rd option, but he does not deserve this spot at all. Bogut or Boozer would be my choice.

**Jericholic** · 02-04-11, 01:28 AM

Would have loved to have seen Kevin Love make the team.

**Le_Donk** · 02-04-11, 07:46 PM

kevin love is the yao replacement.
stealing rebounds from teammates and hitting 3s when your team is down 20 points, is more important than winning

I understand Blake Griffin being there instead of Ellis and Love. Griffin puts up good numbers and is a phenomenal DUNKER, which they want people to put on a show.

But still kills me that Kevin Love didn't make it.

Love and Ellis are 2 of my favorite players in the West. Ellis can put on a show with the best of them.

Put Kevin Garnett on minny and take off love and guess what? Minny is still a loser.

We all know Garnet is a loser.

So Chris Bosh is an all star and a winner now. lol

Winning is overrated

Exactly who I would of said.

**rm18** · 02-04-11, 11:07 PM

Duncan has to be on the team he is the best player on the best team in the league, really he is still playing good just at only 28 minutes a game or so.

Ginoboli having a solid year
Parker having one of his best years.

14 and 9 isn't anything to brag about....Duncan has had MUCH better years, although he still is a big part, and without him at the Center position they wouldn't be where they are. But to call him the best player on the team is a bit much. And he doesn't bring anything to the all star game that Kevin Love doesn't. Bring in Love instead of him. Need something new.

**rm18** · 02-04-11, 11:25 PM

Not the best offensive player on the team anymore, but with his rebounding and defense still the best player on the team. Stats per minute are still very good actually up in most categories from career average. Put Love on the Spurs instead of Duncan no chance they have only 8 losses

**rm18** · 02-04-11, 11:32 PM

Yeh and Chris Bosh should not of made it, I guess either Bogut or Josh Smith though 3 Hawks would look kinda weird

**demens** · 02-05-11, 01:50 AM

I dont get how Bosh makes it over Boozer. Boozer is the 2nd best player on a 34-14 team. Bosh is the 3rd best on a 36-14 team. Boozers numbers blow Bosh away, its not even close.

Because Boozer missed all those games

Can you please post Boozer's and Bosh's numbers for comparison?

I bet there is not a huge difference

Bosh 18.4 pts, 8.1 rebs, 1.9 ast, 1.7 TO
Boozer 19.8, 10.2, 2.3 ast, 2.7 TO

**Pauulzcappin** · 02-05-11, 01:56 AM

Considering Lebron is a rebounding whore, they are pretty much the same player, with the exception that as demens pointed out -- bosh is the 3rd option, boozer is the 2nd

Thanks Paully

Boozer's numbers are hardly blowing Bosh's away are they?

**demens** · 02-05-11, 02:04 AM

20/10 54%
18/8 50%

I'd say theres a difference.

As for missing games. He still played 30. Rondo, Dirk, KG, JJ missed a bunch of games too.

More importantly, what makes the Heat deserving of 3 all-stars and the Bulls just 1 if their records are pretty much the same?

**hawley** · 02-05-11, 02:06 AM

buddy you called it not even close, that Boozer blows Bosh away

Had Boozer not missed games he would of made it IMO

Sorry, but 20/10 blows away 18/8 in my book. 18/8 is basically Brook Lopez numbers and he is garbage.

And Boozer and Bosh are not basically the same player either. Boozer spends twice as much time in the post as bosh.

**hawley** · 02-05-11, 02:09 AM

And Lopez gets a heap more touches than Bosh

Bosh is a number 3 option

I never said Boozer and Bosh are the same player

Boozer has played around a third less games, he was not going to make it

**hawley** · 02-05-11, 02:14 AM

Dont get me wrong I rate Boozer well over Bosh

I just think those missed games cost him

**demens** · 02-05-11, 02:17 AM

I guess so. I think it has a bit to do with the leagues fascination with the Heat.

I agree actually

Although they have similar records the Heat are still the hottest thing in the league
