according to the link
East reserves will be Pierce, Rondo, Bosh, D. Rose, J Johnson, and one more unnamed

Please tell me Rose made it
He’s been dominating everyone ever since he got healthy. Him and Rondo should both be on the team.
Thrusting towards the playoffs, one game at a time.
Congrats to Pierce!
Well deserved, too.
I think the last reserve is Josh Smith or Al Horford.
I hope that Rose won’t play more than Rondo in the game, though.
He'll be playing the 2 w/ Rondo.

D.Rose
How is he on the team they just started winning a week ago… dude is nice but he ain’t an all star this season… if he’s on it they should have taken A.I off he hasn’t done s*** but they better have wallace
what eastern conference guard outsife of rondo and wade is playing better than rose?
they started winning several weeks ago also, ever since ty thomas came back and they got a there rotations in sync.

Pierce doesnt deserve it over Gerald Wallace (so lets hope hes the unnamed player)…and How does Derrick rose deserve it? i feel he has another year before hes a legit all star…but whatevz
How do you figure GW over PP?
Yes, Wallace has a higher total of minutes and total points, but that’s because he’s had to put in 42 minutes per game (compared to 35.8 for Pierce). Even with fewer minutes, Pierce is out-scoring Wallace 18.9 to 18.6. Pierce also has more assists per game (3.6 to 1.9). Normalized to 36 minutes, those numbers are heavily skewed in Pierce’s favor (19.0 ppg vs 15.9 ppg and 3.6 v 1.6 assists). And Pierce is a much better FT shooter at 85% v 76% for Wallace.
Wallace does have an advantage in rebounds per game, but normalized to the same minutes, its not much of an edge. And frankly rebounds are just not as important as those other stats for these two guys.
Where is Glen Davis?
Get this: My friend was telling me the other night that Glen Davis is a better player than PP. I couldn’t believe it (his argument was based on his play in the playoffs last year). I should point him to this article. I mean we were drinking but not THAT much lol.
Jesus annointed young Rondo to take his place.

People think of Jesus as only a shooter
and hes taking fewer shots. Thus to the rest of the world, Ray looks less valuable than he really is.
No biggie – he can use the time to rest and hang with his family.
