    I think Sheed will be a starter now although I think Dwight should've gotten the start he got snubbed. Also, Melo got snubbed hes havin a great year.

    Good choice. It was mostly between him and Redd.

    I guess I don't understand why they are giving a F's spot to a G. I figured Dwight would get it, since he's the best F left. He's gonna have a monster year next year so that he won't get snubbed.

    Arenas is not actually starting at F, he's just being added to the team. Saunders will pick a suitable player to start at F.

    Arenas deserved it.

    As for Howard. I don't think he deserved a go this year, and there will be plenty of chances for him in the future.

    Bosh is probably going to start now, but Arenas definitely deserved a spot on the team, he is having a career year this year and he is only gonnna play better in the future.

    Arenas deserved it, but was he actually choosen by Stern or did Stern just look at the coaches votes?

    I hope it's the latter.

    I know Stern choice him maybe looking at the coach's votes encouraged it. Arenas deserved it. And everybody out there who think Bosh will start... he won't. Rasheed Wallace will. He is on a better team and a better player.

    Is Wallace on a better team? Hell yeah. Is Wallace better than Bosh? Hell no.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sheed is a role player on a great but overrated team. Bosh is the Franchise who has shown is one of the dominant and best big men in the league, which Sheed has never shown.</div>

    How is Detroit, a championship contender, overrated?
