    Melo was the one who should have been eliminated from that roster. Dumbass fans screwed it up again. And coaches picking Duncan. SMH.

    The Spurs have won 40 games. I hate it, but once you make the All Star team it's assumed that unless there's a really good reason, you'll make it again and again and again and again.

    I wish they would have made the votes public. Not the identities, just the # of votes a player got, etc.,

    Here's what Henry Abbott had to say about the Aldridge all-star snub:

    "LaMarcus Aldridge
    How amazing is ex-Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard? The team's two best players go down, and a third emerges as a double-double monster and leader of a playoff-caliber team. On sheer production, Aldridge is on the bubble, especially when you factor in how he started the season (and, for that matter, his career). And it sure doesn't help that his team is middling, and plays games that start incredibly late for a lot of voters. However, here's what you're missing: All-Star games are about stellar plays, a good hunk of which are lobs. Not sure anybody finishes more lobs than this long, fast leaper. It would have been pretty."

    No offense, but Aldridge's dunks are more boring than someone like Griffins.

    I hate how people say "there's always next year"...well, on the same token, Duncan has already had several other ASG..so there's always last year.

    But Portlands wins are far more exciting. And frequent.

    Which if that is why San Antonio got Manu and Duncan, and Boston got 4, it should've been why Portland got one.

    It would have been terrific if he would have made it; it would have been a nice tribute not just to him, but this team in general for fighting through this ridiculous stretch of injuries. No one here should be surprised, however. He's equal to several other players, and history has taught us when a Blazer is equal to other players, they generally are passed over. Such is life in our little corner of the NBA.

    So Duncan gets in with unimpressive numbers on a team with a great record. Griffin gets in with impressive numbers on a team with a lousy record. Meanwhile, Aldridge gets left out with impressive numbers on an undermanned team with a decent record. No justice.
