Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Eastern Conference reserves: Rip Hamilton Chauncey Billups Ben Wallace Rasheed Wallace Chris Bosh Vince Carter Paul Pierce. Snubs: Gilbert Arenas Michael Redd Western Conference reserves: Ray Allen Tony Parker Dirk Nowitzki Elton Brand Paul Gasol Kevin Garnett Shawn Marion Snubs: Carmelo Anthony Chris Paul Wow, 3 guys averaging over 25 ppg didn't make the all-star team. Rip over Arenas and Redd? Is Rasheed Wallace really all-star caliber? The only guy I really dispute making it in the West is Gasol. He's a good player. But Carmelo is having a fine year.

WHarris1 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Surprised Carmelo didn't get in, he's been a complete stud. But the West forward spot is a complete logjam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 I really wanted Chris Paul to make it. But I can't really argue with the West reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 lol Raja Bell huh. I'll go with the defending champ Quinton Richardson. (I think he's the defending champ.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I really don't think there should have been 4 Pistons on the East squad. I have no real problem with Billups and Rip, and I guess Ben Wallace should go since they need big guys, but Rasheed was too much. I'd rather have seen Dwight Howard if they absolutely needed another big guy. I have a bigger problem with Arenas getting snubbed than Redd. It's hard to argue against Carter and Pierce though. If I had to drop a guard it'd be Rip, but he's pretty good in his own right. Chris Paul definitely should have gone. That kid is a stud, and he is the main reason that the Hornets are overacheiving so much. I'd have dropped Ray Allen. He's pretty good, but his team is struggling way too much.

Balta1701 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 As well as the Pistons are playing this year, I think only having 3 of their guys would almost be an insult to the rest of that team. Each one of them is playing great, and the fact that each of them is playing so well keeps the numbers of the others down a little bit compared to where they would be on, let's say the Lakers.

The Sonics actually have been playing well and are at or over .500. I would have liked to seen Paul in the big game though as well. I would've removed Parker for him since they're both PG's.

You got to leave Parker on there, that guy has been huge. With Ginobili missing time and Duncan banged up, he's been keeping San Antonio near the top of the league. He averaging about 20 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, which is definitely all-star material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been him, not Duncan, who's really led them this year. Last I checked he was leading the league in points in the paint and shooting a mindboggling 55% from the field. That's unheard of from a pg. I think Paul should've made it. But not at Parker's expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) Why no Chris Paul???!? Because the NBA has a thing against rookies... Lebron didnt make it either his rookie season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you thinking of last year? And as much as I like Paul, I'm fine with the selections. He'll get his due in time. And I certainly wouldn't drop Parker. Twenty and six dimes for the best team in the West while holding it down with Duncan and Manu hurting should get you in. I'd maybe drop rip for Arenas...

WilliamTell Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 With Jermaine O'Neal not being able to play, either Arenas or Redd should make it. Unless they wanna have another big man on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Don't feel sorry for Paul. He and Felton will make the All-Star team many times in their future, as good as Paul has been, its tough to argue putting him over Nash or Parker who have equal numbers and are on better teams. Nice to see Rasheed get chosen for his efforts and sacrifices, but I think either he or Rip shouldn't have been named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're having a flat out freakish/monster like season, such as Michael in 85, Shaq in 93 or Duncan in 98, a first year player is not likely to make it.
