All-Star game

I'm not going to waste time worrying about this joke game, but thought I'd post the teams just for the sake of letting people know that may have not been aware:

East:
C.Anthony
L.James
K.Garnett
R.Rondo* (out - injury)
D.Wade
---------
C.Bosh
T.Chandler
L.Deng
P.George
J.Holiday
K.Irving
J.Noah
* B.Lopez (replaced R.Rondo)


West:
K.Durant
B.Griffin
D.Howard
K.Bryant
C.Paul
-------------
L.Aldridge
T.Duncan
J.Harden
D.Lee
T.Parker
Z.Randolph
B.Westbrook


Wow, D.Howard? Really? Ugh, fans.
The West is SO MUCH BETTER than the East that it pathetic. Guys like George, Holiday, Deng, etc .wouldn't even sniff an All-Star vote if they were in the West. And now Rondo won't be there, so another even lesser player will be added.

It's too bad for our Jazzmen like Sap & Al that they have less All Star appearances than players that they are obviously better than. Even in the West, players like Randolph & Lee aren't any better, they just play on teams with better records that Utah.

P.S. Still no announcement about the Slam Dunk, Skills & Three Point contestants, but I am assuming Evans will get to defend his title, and if you look at the numbers, Foye should be in consideration for the Three Point Shootout. Kanter may be in the rising stars game as well IMO.

Yeaaaaaa, I'll watch as much of the NBA All Star game, as I did the Pro-Bowl. Soooo, none.

Ridiculous. Dwight misses tons of games, is playing terrible for most of the year, but Tim Duncan is having the best year of his career and isn't starting! And by the way, its TIM DUNCAN! Sad.
Couldn't care less about All star weekend really. 3pt shootout is kinda interesting, the Legends game is good. Other than that, eh.

I watch the skills stuff like the dunk contest and three point contest, but haven't watched the actual game in many years.
