Both Lee and Curry do.

EDIT: Take this with a grain of salt. No one else is reporting this, and the announcement is officially supposed to be made tomorrow.

BS, but he needs the rest. And another chip on his shoulder.

LAMONSTER SMASH PUNY OPPONENTS!~

 

[illmatic99]

The Ibaka selection pisses me off.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow Chandler doesn't make the East All-stars? He was robbed!

YES!!!!!! I was hoping for this to happen. I bet we see 24 points, 12 boards and a block or two a game now. Thank you NBA!!!!

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL Aldridge got hosed

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously, I'm baffled by the Ibaka selection. I don't care as much that LA didn't make it. I care more that Ibaka did. WTF

 

[BlazerWookee]

I thought the announcement wasn't until tomorrow?

 

[illmatic99]

Me too. Hmm. I just saw this linked on realgm.

Lee made it over Aldridge, but im not upset with that even though I thought I would be two Weeks ago.

ibaka baffles me.

Six guards made the team, which was pointed out hasnt happened in a long time. Well deserved for curry

 

[Nikolokolus]

Records matter. That's all this is about.

Almost always leaked ahead of time. I know we knew that LMA made it last year before the announcement.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I thought it was tomorrow also

Curry definitely deserves it. So does Lee. I was really impressed seeing the defense Curry was using when we played him. The dude is legit man! As for Lee... The guy is consistent and should be in the all-star game. I can't wait for the next time Golden State and Portland play. I suspect Aldridge will have a chip on his shoulder for that game.

Somewhat anyways. Memphis got snubbed

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I would have been happier if Z-Bo made it over Aldridge

 

[julius]

So basically, although he plays for Houston, the cities of LA and OKC almost accounted for half the team (all 5 starters and Harden).

Another way to look at it, the state of California accounted for half the team.

I'm not upset he didn't make the team, he didn't earn it. just another year where the only thing worth watching is the Rookie game.

Or, you could just say that the entire West all-star team is either from CA, TX, or OKC

 

[HailBlazers]

ibaka baffles me.

Can you say "Role Player?"

 

[Carlito]

I'm assuming these are his picks. Not announced till tomorrow. NBA would be pissed.

Also it would be a crime if ibaka got in over LA and Jefferson. David Lee is bad enough. Is their a GM on the planet that would rather ibaka or lee over LA?? I mean c'mon that's insanity.

Crazy to think that's the case, but than again, 7 of the 16 teams come from 2 states, so it's not unusual.

It's even crazier to think that of the 30 NBA teams, 11 come from 4 states (New York, Florida, Texas and California).

 

[PapaG]

I don't recall a time when the AS reserves were leaked out a day early.

The teams don't even find out until the TNT show starts.

you bring up a good point. if those are the real picks, not only would it make no sense to have that bum release them, but has anyone else confirmed it?

I mean, Kamala is a freaking tool.

Nah that's not true. I remember when KP found out the morning of, and texted BRoy when he first made it a few yrs back.

I seem to remember that last year POR Brass new a day ahead of time that LMA made it.

 

[Carlito]

And two more things... Does that mean doc rivers kid gets nod over lillard in rookie game?
That's how big of a disgrace the LA getting passed on is for lee and ibaka if true.

Last... For everyone stroking our GM think about this... We had the 11th pick and he can't get in the rookie game. Meyers sucks! That's fairly lame on Meyers and our GM.

Why? Don't only 9 players make it?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

10 I believe but not only that but Meyers was hurt and hasn't really gotten much court time compared to some rookies.

 

[illmatic99]

Nah, it's 9. See last year:
