Miami having 2 All Stars is a joke.

True, and Lillard being an all star starter is a joke to me.

You got that right. I forgot about that one. Clearly KP and White should be ahead of Lillard and Butler.

I have a feeling Butler will be chosen as a reserve as well, he doesn't deserve it either.  20 points a game on a crap heat team that is barely over .500 and have lost 5 straight.  But now I am griping about things that haven't happened yet, lol.
coaches love Jimmy Butler. He shouldn't make the team, but I do think he has a better chance than Porzingis

He missed like 15 games out of 46. He won’t even be eligible for all-nba teams or any awards. Hilarious if he makes it

Butler making it would be an even bigger joke than Lillard being a starter for it.

Jimmy has played 2 less games than Porzingis.

Bleh. Was hoping one of KP or White made it. Though I think KP has a real shot to make it as a Randle replacement.

Congrats to JB! Top pick for the reserves.

With Embiid injured Brown I think will take his spot in the starting lineup. And with Randle and Embiid out you got to think KP has a shot to be named a reserve.

Actually so does Derick white, injury replacements don't have to be from the same position as the injured player.

Congrats JB!  I'd love to see White and KP get some recognition, but rest helps too.

Well, it's probably between three people to replace Embiid and Randle - KP, Barnes, and Turner. Think KP has to be one of those, with it being a toss up between Barnes and Turner. I'd probably go with Barnes despite playing on the worse team.

White and KP are great but neither deserved to be all stars and I’d rather them have the time off. Jaylen is deserving and I’m happy for him.

KP deserves to make it with two spots open.

Kristaps, White, Butler, Scottie Barnes, Jarret Allen, Trae Young probably the list of guys vying for injury replacement. Don't really think anybody else has a case tbh.

My prediction for reserves:

East
FC:Brown, Randle, Adebayo
G: Brunson, Mitchell
WC: Maxey, Banchero

Only one I'm questionable on is the final WC. Probably one of Banchero/Barnes/Butler/White/Porzingis/Young, all have a legit case. Barnes and Young team records are bad, Butler and Porzingis have missed some games. So I'd guess White or Banchero.

West
FC: Kawhi, Sabonis, Davis
G: Curry, Edwards
WC: Booker, Fox

The west is REALLY hard. You could argue for Markkanen, Senguin, Zion, Ingram, Gobert, Towns, George even Wemby and probably others I'm forgetting in really any order. Kawhi, Curry, Edwards and Davis are the only ones I'm sure make it.

What do you guys think? Who makes it? Anybody you are 100% convinced HAS TO MAKE IT.

Well, I nailed the East. But George/KAT got the nod over Sabonis/Fox in the west. Tough break for Kings fans.

Lakers are 24-25 and get 2 all stars, Kings are 27-19 with no all stars. Naturally.

KP or White will have a decent chance if there are going to be 2 injury replacements in the East. Should be interesting.

No D Fox feels off. He has been fantastic. 27ppg. Good efficiency. Good passing. One of the most unstoppable PGs in the league thanks to his speed. Impossible to stay in front of.

Not upset about D Sabonis. He has been great but there is strong competition there. That could have gone either way.

I do feel D Fox should have been a sure-thing though.
