Allen would play for East if picked

PHILADELPHIA -- Ray Allen is again on All-Star standby.
Allen made the All-Star team each of the past two seasons as an injury
replacement and he's on call again now that Orlando's Jameer Nelson will miss
the game with a shoulder injury. If picked, Allen will play for an Eastern
Conference team that already boasts his Celtics teammates, Paul Pierce and
Kevin Garnett.
"I'm like the National Guard," Allen said on Tuesday. "When I'm called on, I
do my duty."
Allen was widely considered one of the biggest All-Star snubs when the
reserves were announced last week. Allen is averaging 18 points for the
NBA-best Celtics, who had 40 wins entering Tuesday's game at Philadelphia.
Allen was added to last year's Eastern Conference team when Washington's
Caron Butler was injured and he was picked as a Western Conference sub when
he played for Seattle in 2007.
Nelson could miss the rest of the season for the Magic because of a torn
labrum in his right shoulder. He was selected to his first All-Star Game and
was to compete in the skills challenge Feb. 14 in Phoenix. Allen felt bad for
Nelson, but would love to fill in and be added to his ninth All-Star team.
"It doesn't taint me being an All-Star in any form or fashion," he said.
"Hopefully everybody feels that same way. Every player in the NBA wants to be
an All-Star."
His Boston teammate, Rajon Rondo, and Cleveland's Mo Williams are also among
the likely replacements. NBA commissioner David Stern will pick the reserve.
"Until they tell me it's different, I'm not going," Allen said. "They could
always pick somebody else."
The Celtics also played their second straight game without Garnett, who was
inactive because of the flu. He missed Sunday's game against Minnesota with a
high fever. Garnett missed Boston's 109-101 victory that stretched its
winning streak to 11 games.
Coach Doc Rivers said he'd work out Garnett on Wednesday, "just to get his
wind back."
"He smells things 75 percent of the league can't," Rivers said.
