    Which means they know he won't make the All Star team.

    It's just as well; January has not been kind to his chances.

    Not necessarily.

    Kyrie Irving played in both games.

    I think LeBron played in both games.

    Maybe Blake Griffin too?

    Brandon Roy played in both games during his second season.

    not sure if you're serious, but in case anyone is wondering this is obviously false as Lillard would be an automatic selection for RSC whether or not he made the ASG.

    ThePointForward's Rob Mahoney says Lillard is his first cut from consideration.

    and he's writing under the pretense of following the coaches voting rules, while simultaneously inserting Harden and LMA into the starting lineup. the coaches do still have to vote those guys in, and Chris Paul IS still on the table as far as the coaches are concerned. he's just another reporter giving an opinion, not making anything that translates to a meaningful prediction of what the coach's vote will be.

    I think Dame could take over this one (if he finds his shot.) Who else is out there?

    Waiters? Beal? Barnes? I think Dame could have himself a nice outing.

    I don't think he will play more then 15m. They did that with Kyrie last year.

    Nope. Kyrie played almost 27 minutes last year, more than anyone in the game but Lillard.

    I don't think it matters much. Playing defense at 1/4 speed probably isn't all that draining.

    Faried had 40 pts in 22 minutes in that game.

    Will he still defend his crown in the skills challenge?
