I understand we are talking about KD and Westbrook but two players from a team two spots out of the playoffs is kind of ridiculous. I can also understand if the fans voted them in but the coaches voted them in. Damn ridiculous.
Damian Trillard! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>More fuel for Damian Lillard's fire. Cut from Team USA last summer, snubbed as All-Star reserve.

I'm totally fine with the East list. I had Vucevic in over Millsap but I can't hate. Atlanta is so good.
Duncan, Paul, are in strictly on reputation. Also, Klay Thompson has turned into a darling like his teammate Curry and got in because of that and their gaudy record. Cousins and Lillard are better players and having better seasons than Duncan, Paul, and Thompson.
Its debatable. Clippers are catching fire here recently. If I had to pick, even though Lillard broke our hearts in the playoffs last year, I would pick Lillard over Paul if it came down to those two.
Nope. None deserved it outside of maybe Monta Ellis, but he was unlikely to beat out the other guards in the West.
