    WS isn't perfect. A better measure of defense is RAPM defense.

    Still I think LMA is worthy due to his snub before I guess.

    I don't think they consider positions when they name replacements though. Brandon Roy was replaced by Chris Kaman.

    It seems like with all of the backlash the coach's have been getting for leaving Curry off, if there's only one injury out West, that spot has Steph Curry's name on it, and same can be said with Brook Lopez in the East.

    I don't think Gasol will make it unless there are two injured Western players, regardless of position.

    IIRC Stern picks the injury replacements. Conspiracy theorists would say he picks Curry who is more marketable and more of an NBA darling, though if he put Kaman in a few years ago then who knows (I don't remember Kaman ever making the game, though he did have some big seasons statistically).

    youtube started putting an "s" in the url, right after the "http" so it messes with the coding.
