Who Should Be On The NBA All-Star Teams

The NBA announced the All-Star Game starters yesterday and will not reveal the coaches' picks for All-Star reserves until Thursday.
So, I decided to run the numbers on box-score stats and plus-minus stats to see who the respective statistics would pick for the seven reserves in both East and West.
As always, I used John Hollinger's Player Efficiency Ratings and Value Added stats for the box-score ratings, while I used Jeremias Engelmann's Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus numbers in my Victory Value tabulations for plus-minus statistics.
And for good measure, I also included the stats of the starters--voted into the 2012 NBA All-Star Game by you, the fans.
