Western Conference Reserves

So earlier this morning my Eastern Conference Reserves were posted, I said stay tuned for the Western Conference and here they are. Before we get to business I must say that the West was very difficult, if I thought it was hard to only name seven in the East, well in the West, I have another thing coming. This is going to be rough...

Guard- CHRIS PAUL
He should have been a starter, but I guess people appreciate A.I. more. Paul is playing like the league's MVP. He's been healthy and the Hornets have perfomed beyond all expectations. As of right now New Orleans has the BEST RECORD in the West. Yes, Byron Scott might be coaching the West All-Stars.

Forward- CARLOS BOOZER
Injuries kept him out of his first All-Star appearance last season. His 22.5 ppg and 11 rpg are good enough for me. Hopefully he will play in his first ASG in a couple of weeks. Can you believe that him and LeBron could still be together if Cleveland would've just nearly maxed him out to begin with. Instead Cleveland has Larry Hughes for about 60 mil.

Forward- DIRK NOWITZKI
Dirk is doing Dirk, he's starting to come more into form. Dallas is playing better as well. He's still one of the best players at his position and in the conference, even if his numbers are down.

Guard- BRANDON ROY
The other huge surprise team in the West has been Portland. Roy has played at a very high level, and is doing so much for one of the youngest teams in the NBA. Roy is the leader of that team and at 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per night, that makes him an All-Star in his second season as a pro.

Guard- STEVE NASH
That was easy. I don't need to say anymore than he's an All-Star and a two time MVP.

Center- AMARE STOUDEMIRE
Call me crazy, but I kind of want to see Chris Kaman get this spot. Amare is putting up 23 ppg and 9 rpg, the Suns 30-13. Kaman is putting up 18 ppg and 14rpg, but the Clippers are 13-25. Based on wins and team success, I just can't replace Amare with the NBA's living caveman.

Guard- BARON DAVIS
A lot of people have left Baron off their All-Star reserves. That is absolutely disgusting. This guy is playing at an incredible level, plus he's stayed healthy. Yes, there are still about 3 months left in the season, but Baron has been healthy so far. That's huge. He's averaging 22 points, 8 dimes and 5 boards and the Warriors are still doing well. You can't leave Baron off the roster, but I'd really like to place Stephen Jackson here, cause without him, the Warriors record isn't too hot.

So there they are, all 7 Eastern Conference reserves. I would like to apologize to the following players:

Stephen Jackson
Manu Ginobili
Tony Parker
Chris Kaman
Josh Howard
Deron Williams
David West (definitely should be there)
Shawn Marion

In conclusion, there are a lot of great players out West, and a lot of good teams. Spurs fans are probably going to hate me, but Parker and Ginobili haven't played better than Baron Davis, Roy, Nash or Paul--so they have to deal with it. The guy that really deserves it is David West, he will most likely be there next year.

So there you have it, the Outside The NBA All-Star Reserves.
