    Just don't tell the teams ahead of time then. Make them find out on TV as well.

    Nice! Does that mean Chris Paul isn't getting in? That would be shocking!

    I don't know why this matters so much to me but it does. I'm shaking and over the moon about this news. So proud of Dame.

    It matters a lot.

    Getting that All-Star nod means a lot in terms of how the refs treat you, and how the media markets you. It's very important.

    Hard to pull three All-Stars, even if you're in the east.

    Injuries to Russell and CP most likely played a role but I'm still taking this. Broy made it his second year too!

    I agree with the decision. You can't put a 13ppg player on the all star team.

    It is.

    OTOH: He's in the rookie/soph game and the all star game. So much for getting the rest us armchair doctors/coaches think he needs. Is he in the skills thing again too?

    How fucking cool will it be if Lillard STARTS? I don't always watch the game but this year I definitely will!
