Sorry, Rick, but D'Antonio isn't who chooses the reserves. All of the coaches in the league vote for the reserves. And they must vote for 2 guards, 2 forwards, a center, and 2 "at-large" players. Obviously the coaches felt that there were more desrving forwards than him.
I didn't know that, but it's even better that way. Melo can take it out on all of them!
Being out 15 games for a suspension means something, but the guy was a monster prior to that, and put up more points than anybody. I find it hard to believe that the players picked ahead of him are all there on merit. Do you think Carlos Boozer and Shawn Marion more deserving?
