Brandon Roy made it. tlong is going to be thrilled.
the west reserves were just announced on TNT (and probably somewhere else i missed) and out other two all stars were left out.
the starters for the west are as follows:
Steve Nash
Chris Paul
Dirk Nowitzki
Carlos Boozer
Amare Stodemire
Brandon roy
David West
I think East beats West this year.

Barkley is getting his undies a twist cuz Camby didn't make it
I saw this coming anyways.
Camby. The Nuggets dont even deserve both Melo & Iverson in the All-Star game. Maybe just Melo, not so much Iverson
Lame. 12 of the top 13 PER guys made it. Guess who was left out?
Manu's PER is 25.08, 6th in the NBA, tops among shooting guards. Roy is 34th, at 19.91. This is embarrassing. I don't understand how Ginobili made the all-star team in '04-05 but not now when he's clearly having a better year now.
Also, Jose Calderon was screwed. He's been the third best guard in the East, behind Wade and Billups.
I don't think Roy is among the top 20 players in the West. In addition to the 11 other All-Stars, I'd take Manu, Tony, Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Josh Howard, Shawn Marion, Al Jefferson, Tracy McGrady, and Deron Williams before I'd take Roy. He's above average in a lot of aspects, but not really good at anything.
Roy was impressive as a rookie.
I'm pretty indifferent to him this year though.He's above average in a lot of aspects, but not really good at anything.
Good.
i can't believe Manu got THIS screwed...
Maybe the two can actually get in some R&R. God knows they need it.
Ginobili > Roy
The Spurs need both of them healthy.
A weekend in NO, combined with the media and the game, was more toll on their bodies.
Let them rest.
Don't hate on Roy, his team is winning and quite unexpectedly may I add.
It just shows how much more stacked the West is than the East really. TMac does NOT deserve an All-Star spot for the exact inverse of why Roy deserves a spot that and a ridiculous amount of injuries is to blame. The West should have a motto akin to "Where the REAL players play."
I think you could get two incredible squads with the players from the West and after the twelve players on the East squad the pickings get real slim. Hedo, Ray Allen, maybe Gilbert Arena's when he's not injured and maybe Richard Jefferson too. Vince Carter is fading away fast and Jermaine O'Neal is two steps away from Penny Hardaway/Juwan Howard territory.
On the Western front: Lamar Odom, Marion, Durant, Kevin Martin, Parks and Manu, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, J.Howard, Devin Harris (both Dallas boys would be all-stars in the east EASY)Kirilenko, D. Williams, Al Jefferson, and more that I'm forgetting. The talent levels in each conference are so drastic and disparaging that its sad. Outside Motown and Boston there really isn't a legit contender from the East while the top seven teams in the West all have a legit shot. The West just keeps getting better and better every season despite misinformed, band wagon hopping analysts saying otherwise. The East is a great place to go when you can't get it done out West...I'm looking directly at K.G.

yeah, unfortunately the stupid injuries, and everyone outside of Timmy and Tony, helped to douse our great play of the big three. All of them are averaging 19 points a piece this year
Not that All-star games matter THAT much, but it's cool to see our guys get the nod. Like he'd be pretty entertaining playing along side Kobe Bryant and stuff. That's what I wanted to see this year.
Sometimes I think it could help morale though. I was hoping Tony, Tim and Manu would all make it to have a good time there and ride that wave. Manu could have rode the extra confidence boost from the coaches, like he did in 2005.
But maybe it doesn't really make that much of a difference at this point, since AS games are more important for the younger guys.
Well Whatever.. like people have said more rest for Manu and Tony to heal up for the second half of the season.
Plus the All-Star game is a complete joke and is for the fans. If it mattered, like in MLB, it would make sense to get all pissy, otherwise just sit back and enjoy and take pleasure in knowing that the two most important variables in the Spurs' championship equation will be getting rest instead of waisting away in a meaningless game.
because TP and Gino arent on all star team it will well rest them and gave them another reason to beat all nash, CP3, no ski...@ the PO
Don't worry. Manu is very happy for this. He'll get some rest.
Yeah this is a great plus for the SPurs.
Manu needs to chill out and rest that weekend anyways.
Manu should be fresh and awesome tuesday. Four days off for him is like an energy drink to anyone else.
David West made it? He's good, but I am at least mildly surprised that he made it over BDiddy.
I know. I think most fans get mad in theory...when it's time to tune in, you realize the games are hardly worth watching at all.
It's more enjoyable for the players than it is for the fans.
Meh.....I guess you could say that the Spurs ASG is in the Finals every year.
