omg Griffin, Ibaka, Jennings and McGee set for Sprite Slam Dunk contest this really sux, only Griffin deserve to be in it, Ibaka i dont see him dunk much or isnt impressive, McGee are you serious ? the guy that missed 2 easy dunks ? Jennings wtf? does he ever dunks ? this year dunk contest sucks and Griffin is going to win it with no competition....
The Spurs only have six lost, and are playing very well - veteran team - Dallas need help - Dirk need to return from his injury. The Lakers struggle at now may be good for them. Heat are playing very well.
^one of their losses came to the knicks =) im just rooting against the heat and the lakers this season...and the celtics if they somehow outlast those teams....
Raptors acquire seven-foot centre Alexis Ajinca from Dallas http://www.tsn.ca/nba/story/?id=350900 we suck anyhow
Ajinca, 22, averaged 2.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 7.5 minutes in 10 games with the Mavericks. lol, i don't expect much. raps are just gonna tank it this year. 1st draft pick please!
haha wade was on fire to start the game and he made 14 of his first 15 shots. too bad he got ice cold, finishing the game 14-22. nonetheless, aside from his 6-14 ft shooting, a great game for dwade.
Western Conference All-Star reserves: T. Duncan, P. Gasol, R. Westbrook, B. Griffin, M. Ginobili, D. Nowitzki, and D. Williams. Eastern Conference All-Star reserves: R. Allen, P. Pierce, R. Rondo, K. Garnett, C. Bosh, A. Horford, J. Johnson I can't believe Kevin Love did not make the list... Kevin Love and LaMarcus Aldridge should have been on the western all star team instead of Nowitzki and Duncan. All star game isn't about lifetime achievements, it's about which players performed the best the first half of the season. Lamar Odom, Steve Nash, Monta Ellis, and Zach Randolph are other snubs who deserved spots. And wow with Boston's Big 4 all making it. Don't agree with the Bosh pick though... I hope David Stern makes the right decision and replaces Yao with Love.
I guess you could make the argument for Boozer or Smith over Bosh, but I'd rather take Johnson out and put Boozer in with Bosh still on the team. Overall I'm happy with the east reserves. AKA the Boston Celtics Dirk has been playing solid basketball (shooting 52% from the field) so I would keep him on the team even though he missed some games due to injury. LMA started off pretty slowly so that's one thing that hurt him. The only thing I would change about the West (assuming Love replaces Yao Ming) would be taking Duncan out and putting Steve Nash. Nash is once again in the 50-40-90 club and he's averaging 16pts, 11asts at age 36? He's basically putting up the same numbers he had during his two MVP years. He's also the only reason the Suns are even in the playoff hunt. I love Duncan, but he was a purely picked based on his past. But it would still be pretty hard for me to snub LMA. This year's west is just so packed with good bigs that some all star worthy players like LMA, Randolph, and others would be left out.
love will replace the big china mon no zbo ? LMA overlooked again cause west has too many bigs east forwards lacks thats why kg andbosh there lol booz has not played enough games to worth mention
nowitzki's been good, but i just think it's time for the all star game to have some new faces. early word is nash as yao's replacement, but i definitley hope that's not the case...
When it's all said and done we're all going to tune in on Sunday for the game between the Western Conference All-Stars and the Boston Celtics.
