    Well, I voted for Howard. Also for LaMarcus Aldridge. But Love and Griffin are certainly deserving.

    What a joke. Love can't get his team over .500, Irving's team is a mess. Kobe is hurt, Wade is always hurt. For the first time I now think fan voting needs to end.

    I just realized, with Paul hurt and if Kobe can't play...Lin gets the starting spot. Putting my Rockets allegiance aside, that would be the biggest joke in All-Star game history.

    Dwight Howard is having an MVP year. There's no one close to him at how good he is around the basket. He hasn't missed a single game. That Dwight Howard isn't starting is ridiculous.

    what going to happen to all those all star promos Dwight and Harden did? Do they still apply if they are just reserves?

    still a bit harsh, I sincerely hope Lin doesn't play like shet for 3 more years. But you are right, they think everyone in the world is holding Lin down from being a super star, sad really.

    Oh, I was hoping Silver would choose Lin as a starter for marketing reasons. I doubt that rationale would apply if he's only choosing him as a bench player.

    Why would you hope for Lin to get picked? That would be pretty embarrassing for the Rockets.

    The last thing Silver would want to do as his first thing is piss off 99% of the player base by picking someone for "marketing reasons".
