Hustle Points: A New What's ill NBA Column

I've been as entertained by the NBA this year as I've ever been and with so many great stories and compelling storylines from the Association, I feel like I must expound upon some of those stories from this point forward throughout the rest of the NBA season, which is the reason for the birth of Hustle Points.

Whether it be, Blake Griffin or Kevin Love, or the continued emergence of Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant, the stories continue to intrigue.

The Celtics' sustained run of excellence at the top of the Eastern conference and the question of whether or not they can be thwarted by the new Miami Heat and so on and so forth.

Yesterday, the reserves were announced for the East and West teams for the All- Star and the lists were as follows:
