    Some of the mock all-star reserve selections have Lee making it while Curry doesn't make it. The Warriors are having an awesome year. Lee and Curry should make it this season.

    Yes, 12 are chosen: 5 starters and 7 reserves.

    Ya I think it is 12 total. Not that it means much (really anything at all) but the guys who have published their votes (on blogs and such) have only picked LMA on about half the (fake) ballots.

    actually for the year his scoring efficency has dropped off a cliff.

    TS% .519 down from .560, ORtg lowest of his career etc.

    you could make an argument lee, zebo, gasol, and even ibaka should be in over him given that fact coupled with the team's recent slide back to .500

    I assume you mean focal point of the defense to stop the PF.

    http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/pf/sort/VORPe

    I would put that number at 9 if you take into account a combination of USG, VA, and EWA. You could hassle over some of these of course all day back and forth.

    Lee can score in ways Buck couldn't.

    Last year's All-Star game was a joke.

    Durant 37 minutes
    Bryant 35
    Griffin 31
    Paul 31
    Westbrook 28

    Nobody else got over 18 minutes.

    May as well just have 8 guys go and play if the coach is going to treat it as a regular season game.

    And Buck was both tough as nails and smart as any player in the league. Lee? Not so much...

    interesting that there doesn't seem to be a single leak so far, unlike previous years. they must have really tightened up this year.

    Funny, same thing happened at the draft, too, where like a minute before each pick or so, he announced it. Which is fine, part of me kept wondering why I was reading and watching, though.

    I hate how these fools are so desperate to break news. They need to step back and see how sad it is to frantically tweet out stuff that is just about to happen.

    So you have a lackey that will give you news that you call a source. BFD.

    I would believe Mark Stein well before the other guy, but I find it hard to believe LaMarcus made it.
