Have Ginobili and Parker played their way off the All-Star team?

Forget about Ginobili. He won't make it. Parker has a chance.

McGrady may try to see if the NBA will let him sit out.

With his left knee giving him more problems in his second game back than Saturday in his first, Rockets guard Tracy McGrady said again that he thought he would like to sit out the All-Star Game next month.

"Right now, I think I might have to pass on that," McGrady said. "I'll attend, but I don't think I can play."

McGrady was second among Western Conference guards in the most recent update.

The voting ended Sunday. Starters will be announced Thursday.

McGrady said he has not spoken with anyone from the NBA about not playing in the All-Star Game on Feb. 17 in New Orleans.

"Not yet," he said. "Let me give it until the end of the month or the next couple weeks."

The NBA has not permitted players who are healthy enough to play for their teams to skip the game.

Ginobili deserves it. Parker does not.

Like any other Spurs fan, I'd like to see the Big Three recognized. However, it aint likely to happen - two would be a stretch and, of course, Duncan is a lock.

All that said, I'd rather see both Manu and TP get some well-deserved rest.
