Season Averages (28 games): 19.1 points, 8.9 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 23-5 team record

If the Golden State Warriors with a record of 38-10 deserve and get four All-Stars, shouldn't the Houston Rockets with a record of 33-12 have at least two? In the complete list of All-Star rosters announced, James Harden is the only one from H-Town to make it.

Chris Paul's numbers, both season averages and advanced stats, make a case for him to be on the team. CP3 might still be in Los Angeles anyway but the team's record when he plays is also quite a big factor which should have been considered. Either way, the head coaches didn't believe he deserved a spot on the reserves but when maybe if they look at the advanced stats, they would change their mind.

He ranks third (.274) in Win Share per 48 minutes, fifth (8.0) in Box Plus-Minus and despite coming off the bench, he ranks fourth (126.3) in the league in offensive rating.
