Deron's no All-Star...and we all know it!

I hope that Old School Popovich gives Deron a couple of minutes of mop-up time after Paul and Westbrook do the heavy lifting.
 
Deron Williams is an all-star. He played on an mvp-caliber level in November and an all-star level in December and Januray. February he's clearly struggling - and there are alot of things about his play that I'm not happy with - but that doesn't erase what he did in the three previous months.

As Mark Jackson would say: "The bottom line is this guy's one of the best point guards in the league, and I'll take great offense over great defense any day of the week. At the end of the day, he's still a guy I'd want to build my team around. Hand down, man down! Come on DWill, you're better than that."

Well this certainly isn't one of DW best years (I know his scoring is up) but overall I think he has played better in the past. However, he got screwed a few times and didn't make the All-star team so I guess it is pay back time.

Personally, I think the All-star game/roster is the most overrated accomplishment to rank a player's greatness. In the end it is what you do on the court for your team. The All-star has become more of a popularity contest than anything significant.
 
It should be a popularity contest anyway.
Would you rather watch an expressionless Tim Duncan scoring bankshot after bankshot or a fat Shaq who's bound to give you a few laughs?

....at least not this year! He's shooting poorly, turning the ball over at an alarming rate, and his defense is poor. He's better off resting his wrist and getting his head together during the break than playing in the game.

Neither should Westbrook or Rose by that standard right? They all shoot a lower % than DWill & turn the ball over more.

...can't believe Rose is shooting worse than Deron or has more turnovers. If that's true, then I stand to be corrected.

this season is deron's most efficient of his career (22.1 PER) and the allstar game has always been a popularity contest, it is there to attract viewers, generate revenue, keep people from losing interest halfway through the season, and provide the fans with a chance to "impact" a part of the game by being able to choose who plays. the allstar game was created in the 50's for the sole reason of being a popularity contest via having the most popular players play an exhibition match to generate interest in the sport.
