Kevin Love used a colorful word to explain his omission from the All-Star weekend rookie team and that the voting by NBA assistant coaches was nonsense.

The assistants chose Chicago's Derrick Rose, Miami's Michael Beasley, Memphis' O.J. Mayo and Marc Gasol, Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, the Los Angeles Clippers' Eric Gordon, New Jersey's Brook Lopez, and Portland's Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez.

"Absolutely embarrassing," Wolves' guard Mike Miller said. "I can't think of two or three rookies playing better than him right now. He's done more to help us win in the last month."

"I'm still going to be upset because I'm so competitive, and I would have loved to be in that game," said Love.

Love is currently ranked 5th in season FIC in RealGM's Rookie Rankings.

"I thought it was all political. I've just got to keep playing the way I'm playing."
