Boozer has been good all year & especially good this month. Despite being arguably the best PF in the East, he won't be an All-Star this year.

Yeah, Bosh will.

Actually I'm more upset about Garnett being voted a starter, which means Noah will get the total shaft when he deserves to be there. Can't wait to see the roster to find that it's a Knicks/Heat circle jerk with half the roster coming from those 2 teams.

I was joking about Bosh, he should not be there at all. Garnett shouldn't either, but fans popular vote wins again. Chandler is a great defender, but there is no defense in an all-star game. So, why should he go? We all know he's an horrible offensive player.

Like all sports, they should just scrap fan voting and leave it to the players/coaches/front office. But every professional sport wants to keep the fans interaction into the game somehow. And all-star voting is a main componet to that.

Would you expect anything less? Why not just throw in Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, and Brook Lopez and have the whole roster essentially coming from 3 teams?

Ya, I wasn't a big Boozer fan to start the season, but now I'm loving him. He really has picked up the offense & you can tell he's more comfortable out there. Him & Noah deserve to be All-Stars this year, but of course the Northeast teams will fill out the rest of the roster. I fucking hate fan voting.

How many of you would still want to amnesty Boozer next season? :smug:

Now that's a tougher question than ever... I think trying to find a trading partner for Deng is a better idea.

I wish there was something like re-structuring the contract. Like the NFL has.
