My favorite part:

The Thunder's Kevin Durant, the reigning MVP, is expected to be a lock for one of the West's All-Star reserve frontcourt spots. Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge would have received strong consideration but is sidelined for at least six weeks with a thumb injury. Aldridge's injury increases the chances of Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins making the team.

Yeah, GS should send two. But it's because Klay is deserving of it, not because of this:

"We deserve two," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who will coach the West All-Star team. "The whole of point of what we are doing is trying to win. We have the best record in the league. Steph is an automatic, but I don't know how you couldn't have two All-Stars from a team with that record.

This is as asinine an argument as can be had. It's how LBJ got Mo Williams into an all star game back in 2010. Mo had no business being there. Just because you have the best record doesn't mean you did it with two all stars. LeBron was just that good. Spurs can get it with almost no all stars.
