The game is in New Orleans, so its not surprising Chris Paul and David West would get the nod over Baron Davis (though he did technically play for New Orleans before) Brandon Roy on the other hand....I like him but over Baron Davis? Maybe Roy being on the All Star team opens up his Rookie-Soph game spot for Aaron Brooks?
He didn't really deserve it. I think we all know that. But it really makes me happy that people can't say "Yao only got in because of the Chinese vote," anymore.
1) Mac sort of made it known he didn't want to go to the All-Star game this year. 2) He had been injured.....probably good for him to rest. 3) Why is everyone closing the book on T-Mac, he is still a good player and could average 25-27 ppg easily on many teams in the league? The reason why we specifically need less of him is because our team is probably the most talented team he has ever played on....he is shown that he can give up the rock. He is still a great player and hate it when people say we need to trade him....it can't possibly make the team, better....look at Memphis and see how good they were with Gasol, bottom of the league....it didn't really matter, if he stayed or not the Grizzlies were in full tank mode. 4) T-Mac is probably 2nd best SG in the league, after Kobe. He is better D-Wade...why are we talking about the Rockets without him in the first place. The team cannot be that much better without him.
WOW! this is a total shocker. after being an all star for seven years, he's not even a reserved player this coming all star game. what a sad sad outcome.
