Why did Kevin Love only score 2 points in a game where no one plays defense?

Is it because he is overrated and garbage and didn't deserve it.

Update:

1. He does deserve trash talk because he didn't deserve to be an all star at all. Someone better like Lamarcus Aldridge deserved his spot. Kevin is a boring player and isn't someone anyone wants to watch in an all star game

2. He didn't get playing time because he wasn't good enough to earn playing time.

    Because he barely played any minutes, only 12. It is common not give first time all stars many minutes. He also isn't selfish and that doesn't fit the style of play in an all star game. With Kobe and Durant jacking up all those shots I'm surprised anybody else scored on the west. He is very good player who may finish the season averaging over 20 points and 15 rebounds. The last player to do that was Moses Malone who is in the hall of fame. So how again is Kevin Love overrated?

    Like Tim Duncan isn't boring? He has better stats than Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Ginobli, Horford, Johnson, Duncan, Gasol, Bosh and slightly better than Griffen. I do believe Aldridge should have made it as well as Monta Ellis. They should have left Duncan off and Garnett.

    You earn playing time the more all star appearances you make, plain and simple. That's how it works and how it has always worked.

    keep Kevin Love, he has a good artwork ethic, he would be secure for destiny years. i admire Oden as i'm a Blazer fan , yet as quickly as an excellent guy has subject concerns with ft it is all down hill from there. I in simple terms have self assurance Love would be around longer than Randolph. besides Love droped the "pastime bucket" on the lottery . Thats adequate suited there.

    Love is boring to watch. but honestly his stats are great, of course the only other player the T'Wolves have is Beasley. He scores meaningless baskets, not a great clutch player, I think Aldridge should of been in, but I do not believe Tim Duncan deserved to be an All-star. I think Aldridge and Love should of been in the game.

    Well, he only got in just because of his rebounding, really. So i'm not surprised if he only got 2 points.

    And yea, L.A should've got in than him.

    It's because he did not get enough playing time, and when Popovich brought him out, the East were kinda serious defending because they were getting blown out.

    Too many ballhogs in this year's game. It didn't seem like a lot of players had much of a chance to do anything out there.
