And on the topic of all-star reserves; if Luol Deng doesn't make the reserves I'll be really disappointed - backup center should be Hibbert > Noah (the latter has only played to his normal level the last 1 1/2 weeks) Edit: Oh, it was his first 25+ game of the season, damn.. | ||

If it's up to the coaches, then I think he will.. he embodies all the traits that a NBA coach loves, so I can't find a good reason as to why he wouldn't get picked | ||

More of a winner? What kind of criteria is that? Do you measure it by how many championships they have (which leaves only KG & Pierce), how many games their team has won (which leaves none), progress in the playoffs lately (where Bosh is the only one who went further, and he should be one of the reserve forwards IMO)..? Do I think he's a better defender than a lot of the players you named? Hell yeah, I do.. Not sure why you even mention Melo, as he is already picked for the All-Star game.. but he's not more of a winner (though, you might have some spaced out idea as to what a winner is) nor a better defender than Deng.. Edit: Just to show how good of a defender and how integral Deng is, in the seven games without him, the Bulls have allowed 102 points per 100 possessions, after allowing just 93 in their first 18. That's a HUGE difference | ||

you really are quantifying the all star game to be some sort of mathematical equation due to performance over the past 20 games, this isn't the case, the nba selects players who have the highest upside in roi when promoted. sorry that pierce and kg are future hall of famers with an incresibly loyal fanbase, but them coupled with lebron and bosh and melo and amare will prevent any other forwards drom making an all star game its like a jazz fan who can't be mad millsap isn't an all star, because dirk and tim duncan are. | ||

If Granger wasn't having a somewhat down season, we know he would be in the running also. I agree with the Deng injury hurting his chances also. edit: oops beat by Holcan above ^^ | ||

With that said I agree with your statement, but only bc of the lack of SF all-star candidates for the eastern conference this season after Lebron. Deng is one of them top ones and he actually has skillls, he's not a regular schmoe who is boring to watch. Any love for igoudala though? | ||

I would love to see Iggy in the all-star match, he has really bought into the team idea, so even if he's numbers are down, his contribution is way bigger.. However I'd still want to see Deng instead of Iggy, first as a Bulls fan, and second because I felt he was left out last year (not necessairly from the All-Star game, but All-Team recognitions) | ||
