    I can’t really be mad about any of these picks. Was a little surprised with Deng, thought Lopez woulda got the nod. But, all in all, well done coaches.

  • bwat10

    no steph curry?

  • Lz – Cphfinest3

    Biggest snub; Steph Curry, then Brook Lopez

    two Bulls makin it baby

  • ByAnyMeansNecessary

    Steph Curry not being there is absolutely ridiculous. No way to explain him not being on that list. Paul George is about to make Danny Granger expendable. A little surprised with Deng making it over Boozer. Congrats to Jrue Holiday even though his team isn’t winning. Congrats to Kyrie Irving. This will start a good run of ASG appearances for him. The coaches seem to be upset about Avery Johnson getting fired.

  • Lz – Cphfinest3

    Glad Luol made it, maybe this years coach will actually play him more than 2 minutes so he can get a basket at least..

  • dafaq

    wheres Lillard

  • The Fury

    Milk Carton: Steph Curry….damn!!!

  • Name

    Looks like J-Smoove will never be an all-star

  • https://twitter.com/Wayne__o BuenoWayno1

    ….and jus like that j lin fades into obscurity

  • Redd

    Absolutely outrageous Curry didn’t.

    Feel Boozer should’ve made it over George & I hate the 6ers so, that speaks for itself. But Irving should make reserve consistently unless Rose’s return doesn’t pan out.

  • Redd

    Yeah that sucked, Bulls get pushed to the side, I felt Boozer should’ve been there too.

    would have been better if marc gasol got in. not complaining with the z-bo selection, though

  • Shifty

    Anyone else think these reserve benches look a little bland? Just something about them. Can’t put my finger on it.

  • http://www.facebook.com/rainman1991 Saleem Rainman

    Curry not making it is a joke.

  • http://www.facebook.com/rainman1991 Saleem Rainman

    If you woulda told me two years ago Paul George makes an All-Star game BEFORE Josh Smith does, i woulda slapped u twice.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    Brook Lopez and Al Horford not making it and Luol Deng making it is f*cking crazy lol. The coaches don’t watch sh*t.

  • http://www.facebook.com/rainman1991 Saleem Rainman

    no to say i wudnt have believed the part where George makes an all star game, he’s always had mad potential, its the BEFORE Josh Smith part that wuda gotten u slapped.

  • ILMago

    No nets and no Curry?!

  • Redd

    Yeah..Bulls fans including me were all hoping for boozer & Noah..didn’t expect Deng. Not saying he didn’t deserve it, but didn’t expect him to break win.

    But I’m happy shoot :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/rainman1991 Saleem Rainman

    Come on. Josh Smith shoulda made it over Deng this year.

  • ATL dynamite

    Either Al Horford or J-Smoove should have made the team. The Bulls just had a slight edge on records over the Hawks, and the Bulls have 2 on the All-star team. As much as I like Deng’s game, he shouldn’t be on the All-star team – not because he hasn’t been good this year, but someone else is playing better than him.
    By the way, Steph Curry got snubbed big time. Wish him and J-Smoove would get to the team if anyone on the current All-star team roster got injured.

  • http://www.facebook.com/qcollingwood Interdico Scriptor

    No Josh Smith… he’ll be happy about that!

  • http://www.facebook.com/qcollingwood Interdico Scriptor

    AHahahaa Lopez??? yr joking right?

  • Redd

    Horford, yes.

    Bulls also have guys showing up after losing 6 good players. I realize you’re a ATL fan, so with all due respect..ATL isn’t really being considered as a threat. I hope they do well & maybe it’s unwarranted but they’re overlooked.

  • http://twitter.com/impsawsm Impossibly Awesome

    Who are you going to kick off the West reserves and replace with Curry?

  • ATL dynamite

    Small market teams are bounded to be more disadvantaged than big markets like Chicago… enough said. The way Al and Josh turn this rebuilding roster into a competitive team has been beautiful (counting out their latest slide). As a long time NBA fan I won’t refuse to expect the backdoor politics in the whole All-star selection thing, but the way my guys got looked over has turned to be more disappointing.

  • http://www.facebook.com/natgeo02 Neitel Agosto

    WOW…No Lillard…he will have to play in the rookie showcase, in which he will be the MVP! No Steph? No Jeremy Lin?? LOL, kidding about LIN….Jrue Holiday made it because Derrick Rose is still out…but D.Rose will be back in 2014 ASG! Stephen Curry and Jennings might be the most dissapointing…besides Deron Williams. Dont tell me that Mike D’Antoni got to vote?? He needs to improve his team, before he gets the priveledge to vote!!! Go Pelicans! LMAO

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Gilbert/100001749589586 Mike Gilbert

    Boozer should not have made it over George. Maybe Boozer over Deng but no way, George has played like an all star no doubt. Plus if you look at it like this–the Pacers would have no all stars while the Bulls would have 3??? it’s good the way it is

  • Redd

    I feel Horford should’ve, from an unbiased standpoint. Horford deserves it more than Deng I’ll be honest.

    Am I upset at it? NOPE our guys went #1 seed back to back & only Rose got in(2nd year Deng got it & got to play an insane 2 seconds).

  • http://www.facebook.com/natgeo02 Neitel Agosto

    J-Smoove also got disrespected!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Gilbert/100001749589586 Mike Gilbert

    why is that such a joke? the Nets are in 3rd place and he has better stats than Chris Bosh

  • http://twitter.com/impsawsm Impossibly Awesome

    Smith is going to have to bounce to a different team and reinvent himself if he ever wants to be an all star. It’s definitely not happening in Atlanta.

  • Redd

    Really? Boozer is averaging a double double..he shouldn’t have been picked over George…reallllly? Lol..Boozer is about an assist lower than George also.

    Ok, fine Deng didn’t deserve it, then Horford does not George.

  • Redd

    Horford I feel, even much as I’m a bias Bulls fan & a big one, I’ll be unbiased and say he deserved it.

    Chicago is a big market team but remember we got snubbed twice while being #1.

  • Redd

    He’s right, completely.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    You are right. I think Lopez and Horford were both more deserving then Deng and Bosh. But I can’t really gripe about Bosh too much, he’s been really good

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    I don’t really like Boozer more than Lopez or Horford either. I mean, he’s been better than Horford lately (not Lopez), but the 25-30 games before that, no way. But not a big gripe from me either way, other than Deng.

  • Redd

    Idk, it hard for me to feel bad after the crazy snubs we got.

    As a Warriors fan however, Curry not making it is just unacceptable. He’s 20-6 & his team has beaten top teams.

  • Justin05

    Steph would make it if he was on the east coast but Westbrook and Parker are hard to argue against. Harden deserves to be there as well.

  • Redd

    An argument would work against Parker, but Parker wins a close 1 by default I guess.

  • Crazy_nigga

    Watch more basketball. New up and coming talent in the NBA.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    Curry should have made it no question. Aldridge, while being “better” as an all around player, has not been what Curry has for his team.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    Aldridge. That’s who shouldn’t be there. Even tho he’s been a better all-around player, he hasn’t been what Steph has for GS

  • Redd

    But it goes by position so ya couldn’t do much in that instance since the format now is Guard-Forward.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    Last 2 spots are “wild card” spots my dood

  • ByAnyMeansNecessary

    Aldridge surprised me. Didn’t even think about him over Lillard.

  • http://twitter.com/sooperfadeaway nbk

    Oh he’s been better than Lillard lol. Don’t let the media cloud what’s going on. He’s actually been better then a lot of guys. The team just scratching too much to give him this shine right now (imo)

  • ByAnyMeansNecessary

    The Pacers deserve to have an All-Star and George has stepped up in Granger’s absence. Boozer should have made it over Deng in my opinion. I say Kyrie has a permanent spot every season from now on. He, Rondo and Holiday will be competing for the reserve spots at the guard position behind Rose and Wade.

  • Redd

    Oh I thought it was guard-forwards equally, my bad. Yeah then that adds a bigger a wth to my wth.
