Eastern Conference coaches have until noon Wednesday to cast their votes, determining whether 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday is deserving of his first all-star bid.

The number is his favor are that the Sixers were 0-4 without him in December, when he missed time with a left foot injury, and 17-19 with him -- right around where they expected to be. He's also the only player in the league averaging at least 19 points and 9 assists.

Not even stud point guards like Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Greivis Vasquez, Russell Westbrook or Deron Williams can say that.

What goes against Holiday, though, is the Sixers' record. It's something Sixers coach Doug Collins said he looks at when deciding who should represent a conference among the all-star reserves.
