That’s all I can really say right now.

They split up Triple Threat! Joe, Josh, and Al deserved a spot! I really hope the blog is not correct and I won’t believe it until 7pm tonight. No Josh you gotta be kidding.

I hope this doesn’t kill Josh Smith’s confidence. It would have been huge for Josh. I think if he made it he would have ended up playing the second half of the season like a beast…. I hope this post is untrue and Josh really did make it…. Although Al is deserving as well….

Wow – those are strong words against a player whose scoring and assist total, and rebounds are matched by very few in NBA.

The only team I think he would go to is Chicago when they lose the Wade and LeBron sweepstakes. New York still doesn’t have the talent we have minus JJ.

hoping that it would cause Smoove to have a 2nd half meltdown. The rest of the league knows that the Hawks are coming, and they are trying to break it down.

I watch every game and believe Josh is better than JJ and Al this year. What do I know.

If you were going to make a case against one of our Big Three being excluded, it would be Joe Johnson. He’s the trailer in most of the advanced statistical measures: TS%, Win Shares, Adjusted +/-, Net +/-, PER.

The one guy who deserved it most was Josh Smith, but his basic stats: 15.1 Pts, 8.5 Rebs aren’t that impressive at PF. The irony is that PF is arguably the league’s most dynamic position, and Josh Smith is excluded because his skills are too diverse. Blocks/Steals/Assists are where he makes his money.

if the Celtics make the Super Bowl, you’ll get to go to the All-star Game in Garnett’s place.

bitter sweet. We knew jj would get chosen and he has been off and on this year but I love jj and am happy he made the team. He is the motor to this train they have going and no matter how you put it, he is piece that happens to be big to the franchise(smooth is bigger I know). but al"s first off night was last night. Al deserved this in my opinion, he has been solid but smoove has takin his game to another level making it hard to choose. Smoove deserved it most definently and i hope it doesnt destroy his confidence. All defensive team is still up for grabs though.

It sucks cuz Al Horford already has so much character that he doesn’t need that recognition as much. Poor Smith has changed his game a lot (for the most part) this season and he gets no reward.

I blame voters putting the rust (KG) in.

Do they think he whines too much? Jeez, I wanted him to make it.

Made a mistake in picknig the great lion over Smooove. Coaches, being old fashioned type, like the game of Horf. They relate to it. They understand it. Smoove on the hand, is the ATL motor. But the coaches look for established moves they can remember. They don’t see Smoove having a pet move. But, it is him that gets us going, with his blocks and his dunks. His energy, and his passion and his passing. Those who follow Hawks, know JJ is the best player, but Smoove is the MVP.

If Al Horford is the rower, the guy who always will keep the team moving through sheer force of will, and Joe Johnson is the motor who consistently powers the team through at a steady pace. Well Josh Smith is the sail. When the wind is blowing right for him, this team flies, and it looks effortless. And this season, it has been a constant damn wind gust. Josh Smith takes over games. He changes games. Josh makes horrible games worth going to. He almost single-handedly makes Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford’s defense a non factor most nights

On point and well said.

Joe Johnson is the guy who keeps grabbing the wheel. Sometimes you let him drive too much, but you can never keep him from steering for too long.
