I though Noah was gonna get in over Hibbert


I dont have a problem with Deng but Deron Williams I do Josh Smith should of been in over him.

yeah I didn't thing Deron deserved to get it. Probably got in because there would be no PG reserves haha

Totally agree. Well deserved selection for Deng.

 

[JosMin]

YES!!!!!! Congrats #9!

Overall, I actually have no problems with the selections this season [both reserves and starters]. Usually, they really miss with some of them.

I don't like Dirk getting in though. He's not really having a good season.

Josh Smith was robbed. And I mean... ROBBED!

Good for Deng well deserved.

YESSIR!

So happy that the leagues most underrated player finally gets some credit! Also very happy for Iggy!!!

Looks like Thibs will be the coach, so Deng will play his normal 40 minutes, huh?



Now, let´s get C.J. and Kyle into the 3pt contest!

Also very excited who will participate in the skills challenge.

I'm happy for Deng. I thought he should be in the discussion, but thought he might be one of the odd men out. Wasn't expecting Iggy to make the team, but I guess they felt someone from Philly should make the team.

I thought those games out would hurt him. He has come a long way, as I stated in the past, a lot of people labeled him soft and thought his contract was an albatross. But he made it and I am interested to see how he reacts to the weekend.

The only non-former/current All-Star in the Bulls' starting line-up is now Joakim Noah.

 

[Venom]

Yes! Thank god!

I agree, I thought he hit his ceiling in 2006-2007, and I'm glad to see that he has continued to improve.

I can tell you who will be starting in the All-Star game if Carmelo can't play and Thibs is coach:

Rose
Wade
Deng
James
Howard

lol...I thought it was a consensus of all the coaches coaching the game who make the decision. If anything, Bosh starts that game.
