    Upon receiving word on Butler's status from the Wizards, the NBA announced Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen will fill his spot on the Eastern Conference team.</div>

    If four more small forwards get injured, East coaches say the choices will be down to Hedo Turkoglu, Latrell Spreewell and Stuff the Magic Dragon.

    It should have been Hedo.

    Ray is the better player, thats why he got in. (plus his team being the best in the league had something to do with it)


    On another thought, KG not being able to make it also had an impact.

    I'd want to see Sprewell, he needs to feed his family more than ever.

    Ray Allen is currently not the better player.

    However, I agree with the KG thing. And the fact that Boston has the best record in the league, so they should have at least 2 players in the All-Star game. Good choice, IMO.

    However, I'm still pissed as fuck they put in Rasheed Wallace. WTF

    Yeah I believe Paul Pierce said something like that.

    Of course we can all go back and count the number of times he made the All-Star team while his team was well below .500...

    Hedo needs to be in this game. Bottom line.

    Im wondering why not Gerald Wallace for the backup East SF? He avgs almost 2 more PPG, same amount of rebounds 1.2 more steals per game, better FG% and his defense is 5 times better than Hedo.

    Compared to Ray Allen almost 3 more PPG, 2 more RPG, .7 more APG than a Guard, 1.2 more SPG, .8 more BPG, higher FG%, the only thing ray allen beats him at is 3 point % and FT % only because he is guard.


    WHERE IS THE LOVE FOR GERALD WALLACE???????

    And for Rasheed: Wallace has 9 more PPG 1.7 more APG, 1 more steal PG and higher FG%.
