Sucks Demarcus doesn't make it. The guy is the best offensive big man in the league. Hopefully this motivates him to be a better defensive presence and elevate his team. He's too good not to be an all-star.

Won't there still be a player making it in to replace Kobe? I imagine either Cousins or Lillard would get the spot.
He publicly defended Mike Malone. That shoud've earned him brownie points. Cousins should've been in over Duncan. Then Lilliard could've been the injury replacement for Kobe. Now one of two greatly superior players to Duncan (and Thompson IMO) will be sitting at home.
