All-Star Reserves Announced Tonight


The day has finally arrived in which the NBA will reveal this years All-Star reserves. We already know that Derrick will be heading to Orlando as a starter, but will Luol Deng or Carlos Boozer make the journey as well? Boozer, probably not, but Deng sure as hell deserves it. If you haven't been watching the Bulls this year and need an explanation, I'll leave it to 7-time NBA All-Star Scottie Pippen.

TNT will announce the East and West reserves tonight at 6 pm CT, prior to the Celtics/Lakers game. Coaches turned in their votes for for 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 center and 2 wild cards on Tuesday. Here's how I would have voted:

WEST

G: Steve Nash (Suns)
G: Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
F: Kevin Love (Timberwolves)
F: Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks)
C: LaMarcus Aldridge (Blazers)
W: Tony Parker (Spurs)
W: Al Jefferson (Jazz)

Close Calls: Kyle Lowry, Pau Gasol.

*I gave Jefferson the last spot over Lowry because I already had 3 point guards.

EAST

G: Deron Williams (Nets)
G: Joe Johnson (Hawks)
F: Paul Pierce (Celtics)
F: Chris Bosh (Heat)
C: Amare Stoudemire (Knicks)
W: Luol Deng (Bulls)
W: Andre Iguodala (76ers)

Close Calls: Danny Granger, Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Rajon Rondo

*I'd rather give the honor to a guy like Amare (or is it Amar'e now?) at center than give it to a scrub (in All-Star terms) like Roy Hibbert. And Rondo is overrated. I think he'll get voted in but I won't understand it. The 14-10 Celtics will probably still end up with 4 All-Stars...

Ya know, the Bulls haven't had two All-Stars since 1998...

UPDATE: LUOL MADE IT!!! view the lineups here.
