Just came across a great article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online, quoting Orlando Coach Stan Van Gundy who thinks Bogut should have been an All-Star.
He’s probably more of a true center than a lot of the other guys that people have talked about at that position. Most of them are power forwards playing up a position, while he’s like Dwight, more of a true center. I don’t think there’s any question he’s an all-star caliber guy. But when you’re picking 24 guys out of 400 in the league, it gets difficult.”
Also some quotes from Coach Skiles and the Bogey Man himself. Definitely worth a read, and makes me even more angry that he missed out on an All-Star spot.

2011 ASG berth!
This still gets me mad.
Andrew Bogut 18.3 PT .643 of 11.5 FG .729 of 4.8 FT — 3P 10.6/2.0 RB 1.7 AS 2.9 BL 0.6 ST 2.6 TO 3.7 PF 34.2 MN 10/10 GS (last 10 games)
Al Horford 13.3 PT .514 of 10.5 FG .758 of 3.3 FT — 3P 8.1/2.3 RB 1.9 AS 1.0 BL 0.4 ST 1.3 TO 2.9 PF 35.4 MN 10/10 GS (last 10 games)
Its all about being a winner.
Hawks streaks: Won 1, Lost 2 of 3, Lost 3 of 5, Won 5 of 8, Won 8 of 12
Bucks streaks: Lost 1, Won 3 of 4, Won 4 of 6, Won 5 of 8, Won 6 of 11
Even taking out of the equasion that Horford is a far smaller piece of the puzzle for the Hawks than Bogut with the Bucks, looks like the Bucks are doing comparitively well in the wins column now too.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the people picking Horford over Bogut as an all-star are the same people who picked Horford over Durant as ROY. (ie. fools)
Bogut left today’s game 5 minutes in with a migraine. Was 3-3 with 3 rebounds at that point. Hope the big man is ok.
