The East picks were very well selected. You could lobby for Ray Allen, Hedo Turkoglu, and Richard Jefferson. The Celtics have the best record in the NBA and you could argue that their is no big difference between Paul Pierce and Allen so why should one make it while the other one not get selected.

Turkoglu has been playing well and the Magic are playing great as a team but he got overlooked big time probably because the scoring is under 20ppg, but he is having his best season.

Richard Jefferson is having a great season but his team sucks and they already have Kidd starting in the All-Star game.

In the West a ton of guys got snubbed and the people that were picked over them really do not deserve it if you ask me, Brandon Roy and David West, WTF? Baron Davis, Josh Howard, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, Shawn Marion, Deron Williams, Tony Parker, Stephen Jackson, Tyson Chandler, and Manu Ginobili all got stiffed.

I think Brandon Roy is extremely overrated. He is getting way to much credit for their record. He isn’t even the best 2nd year player in the NBA or even the best player on his team. Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge would take those crowns.

The Blazers added 5 new players to their team this year, they gave LaMarcus Aldridge more minutes, and two players Travis Outlaw and Martell Webster have stepped up and he gets all the credit.

David West? Give me a break. Tyson Chandler I would be fine with but West is not more deserving than any of the guys named above.

The main players I would pick to replace Roy and West would be Baron Davis And Josh Howard or Stephen Jackson. Baron and the Warriors have been killing the NBA I think that the 0-6 start probably has people thinking Baron isn’t that valuable to Golden State and Stephen Jacksons off the Court issues probably kept him off.

The last thing I can say to NBA players and coaches is to watch out for Baron Davis for the rest of the season.
