How does the Magic get 3 players, but not the better team AND defending champs?! ???

That's a travesty with the way Ray is playing. >:(

How in the world is Ray Allen not on the team? Piston's at one time gat 4 all stars and we can't get all of the big 3. I hope it is not accurate.

The Western Conference selections are pretty much what I wanted to see. Only one player (David West) who wasn't on my list.

The Eastern Conference selections are quite different to what I wanted to happen. Three players (Rashard Lewis, Devin Harris, Danny Granger) there that weren't on my list. I'm disappointed Ray Allen didn't make the team.

I think the coaches got sick & tired hearing how good the celtics are, unfortunately Ray became the victim of that. How about Nelson making over Mo Williams?

Send the whole Cleveland and Orlando roster for all I care and play them all 48 minutes.

Ray can use the rest.  Hopefully Paul and Kevin sit out this worthless, meaningless, glorified streetball game.

They certainly were not annoyed during the Pistons era a few years before. No excuse to not put the them on the team.

It should have been Ray instead of Nelson for sure...

1)The East will have another 2 PG, so he was NOT needed!!
2)The Orlando Magic will have another 2 players, so he was NOT needed!!

And after all, Ray Allen is an all-star and has been more consistent than Nelson all year long, he fully deserves it, I don't even need to use the argument that 3 Celtics MUST GO to Phoenix... I'm so frustrated right now... >:(

Ray has been the most consistent player on the team, and is having his most efficient season as a pro.  This just shows that the coaches don't know what they're doing.

I'd take Ray over Joe Johnson or Rashard Lewis, and Mo Williams over Jameer Nelson.

Who cares?  I'm just sorry Pierce and Garnett were selected.  I'd rather see them get 5 days' rest. They should leave the all star game to the Jian Lian's and the Iversons.

The all star game is crap.  Who watches?  I certainly don't. To be overlooked is a blessing in disguise.
