West Coach Avery Johnson

PG Steve Nash
SG Kobe Bryant
C   Yao Ming
PF Tim Duncan
SF Tracy McGrady


East Coach Flip Saunders

PG Allen Iverson
SG Dwayne Wade
C   Shaquille O'neal
PF Jermaine O'neal (out with injury)
SF  Lebron James





Rasheed should take Jermaine's spot for the East since he's out with the injury. The East lineup looks about right. But the West, i dunno lol. Yao was the leading vote-getter....wow. Duncans been slowed all year with that foot problem so his numbers havent been up to par. But if he's starting id rather them move him to the center spot and have Dirk play the PF. Dirk should definetely be starting IMO. Yao shouldnt even really be on the bench for the All Star game this year. How much has he even played?! Problem is, there arent that many great centers out there. Especially in the West. Mostly great forwards.

Elton Brand SHOULD be Starting for the West....He Is THE BEST PF in the West this season, best numbers and he his carrying the clippers on his back right now, Brand>>>>Duncan

yeah like i said, Duncans been strugglin with that Plantar Fasciitis all season so his numbers have dipped. But its hard for players newer to the All Star spotlight to break through when other players have such a rep...or are popular among voters. Plus, the fact that the All Star game is in the MIDDLE of the season has something to do with it. It always takes at least one whole season off All Star performances (sometimes more, ask Billups) before people buy into u. Tons of players have All Star "like" streaks through a season. But to overtake a player who is considered one of the greatest ever already, is hard without at least a whole season of recognition.

one more thing, i dont see Elton as the "best in the west" this season. I see his numbers as being the best. Not really the same thing. U cant penalize players for having a great team around them and a lot of other players who can score. If the Clips had an amazing cast of players with a bunch of scoring potential around Brand. So his scoring average dipped, but his team had 10 more wins then they do now...would he be a worse player then he is now?

wcsoldier:
Don't forget Parker impact to explain the drop in Duncan numbers too. Yep Nowitzki should start, Brand aswell. Will Rasheed start instead of going to the beach with his wife ?  ;D
