Yao Ming won't play and most likely neither will Roy.

Yao is injured Diddy , Roy too. It seems you haven't been following lately . . .

it's at the discretion of the Western coach as to who starts in his place

Stern picks, they changed it.

So Stern's picking the replacement starter now or simply a replacement and also nominating the replacement starter (which may or may not be the same player)? Either way it's an unnecessary change, I don't see what was so wrong with the league choosing a replacement and the coach being able to select the new starter.

With the all-star game fairly close, here are the teams I would pick:

East:
Rondo/Rose/Felton
Wade/Allen
LeBron/Pierce
Amar'e/Garnett/Bosh
Dwight/Horford

West:
Paul/Westbrook/Deron/Nash
Kobe/Manu
Durant/Dirk
Aldridge/Love
Pau/Duncan

MY PICKS:

West:
PG: Williams, Paul, Nash
SG: Kobe, Westbrook
SF: Durant, Anthony
PF: Dirk, Griffin, Gasol
C: Aldridge, Chandler (regardless of whether he's on the ballot)

East:
PG: Rondo, Felton
SG: Wade, Rose
SF: LeBron, Pierce
PF: Amare, Garnett, Josh Smith, Bosh
C: Howard

Wooh boy! From the looks it looks like the west might be in trouble.

My East Starters: Wade, Rose, LeBron, Amare, Dwight
My West Starters: Kobe, Paul, KD, Dirk, Bynum

East:
G: Rose
G: Wade
F: Lequit
F: Amare
C: Howard
West:
G: Westbrook
G: Kobe
F: Durant
F: Dirk
C: Okafor

I suppose I'll update my reserves picks (for the lulz)

Rose/Rondo
Wade/Ray Allen
LeBron/Pierce
Amar'e/Garnett/Bosh/Brand
Dwight/Horford

Paul/Westbrook/Deron/Nash
Kobe/Manu
Durant
Melo/Love/Griffin
Pau/Duncan

So difficult picking the West reserves.

You would have put Adridge as a starter and two weeks later he's not even a reserve anymore?

Elton Brand? you must be kidding

buzzy, Homer goggles are not on today.

Alejandrov011, Well yeah. He's been pretty good this year! With Felton's recent implosion and the Sixers' resurgence, he's an all-star.

Lamrock, you better show some love to my man Dirk . He had the best season of his career scoring wise before this goddam injury. Dirk will be a reserve for sure

That's pretty much the same as Realgm's reserve picks, only in the East Brand is replaced by Felton and in the West Duncan with Nowitzki.
