i think i prefer "Blake Mamba"

[Aeroplane]

Now...I'll admit to being an unabashed Spurs homer...but to not have a representative in the 3pt contest is a joke. They are only 2nd in the league @ .392.

Hell, they pass up two 50% shooters for the likes of...Durant, Gibson, Wright?

[lintmunro]

Gibson's probably there because the Cavs need something to cheer for.

Wright may be shooting 41%, but he's taking like 6 a game. Durant is Durant.

Anthony Morrow should have gotten a look.

[i wear shooes]

Curry will win Skills Contest

Wright will win 3 Point Shootout

Griffen will win Dunk Contest

AND IF MELO GOES TO THE LAKERS.. I WILL CRY.

[raspberries]

brandon roy wants to play again 3 weeks after his knee surgery...smh.

[Aeroplane]

AND IF MELO GOES TO THE LAKERS.. I WILL CRY.

If Denver deals Melo somewhere in the west, they deserve to sit in mediocrity for long awhile.

just don't see it though...not for Bynum

[Epoc]

Perennial all star for an injury-plagued big man sounds down right ludicrous.. With Kobe dominating the ball, 'Melo would probably turn into an over-glorified jump shooter.

interesting thought: if yao is healthy next season (assuming that he is a rocket next year), kevin martin, like t-mac, has a pretty legitimate chance of getting votes to be a starter for the all star game next year.

is this a joke?

STARTER?

He won't even make the team. The West is stacked with guards that are better than him.

Unless the Rockets put up an amazing first half start.. re think your interesting thought.

[youkinorn2]

someone get peja off my team

[youonlyliveonce]

im not talking about his stats, im talking about a country called China.

his stats arent bad, though.

edit: i forgot to mention that i am completely aware that the west is packed with studs, and martin doesnt deserve to be a starter.

[chantheman]

yay or nay?

[i wear shooes]

NAY.

Change to a Warriors uniform

[on-display]

NAY

waiting for d12

[mr.invincible]

change that shit to a kings uniform.! hahahah

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

huge meh.

also: no way they take bynum in return.

no. way.

(or maybe they do, if they're inbred)

[ke1]

Solely based off Melo's personality I'd say no. Not looking forward to LA being represented by a man of his stature. Sure Kobe has his flaws, but they don't bother me in comparison.

[Aeroplane]

Sloan out of Utah...wow

the west just keeps watering down

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

Yeah, that's ridiculous...

also means: Deron is for sure leaving. whoop whoop.

go get him, Cho.

[lintmunro]

Says a lot about the Jazz's new ownership that they could make Sloan do the one thing Michael couldn't: quit.

[youkinorn2]

Sloan news is crazy.

Mavs are back on that war path in a big way. If we manage get Caron back before the end of the season, shit's going to be real.

Also, how are the Spurs so good?

Also, I still want Melo to go to the Knicks even though that doesn't look so likely anymore.

Also, seriously, who let Peja on my team?

[i wear shooes]

In two years... are Dwight, Deron, and CP3 all free agents???

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

Yep, july 2012.

but if they tank with a new head coach (which seems possible, yes?) I can imagine the jazz blowing it up an trading away their assets, including deron.

Just imagine what they could get back in picks alone for some of their guys . . .

[lintmunro]

Also, how are the Spurs so good?

Best coach in the league, best GM in the league and probably the best bench in the league.

Gregg Popovich is unreal. He demands such a ridiculous level of effort from his team. I went to the Spurs/Raps game and he'd call time outs just for missing defensive rebounds. He demands such a high level of accountability. Plus he's one of the best at drawing up plays, and their new system shows he's more flexible than just walking the ball up every time.

Then you've got their roster. Tony Parker and Manu are both top at their position. Not the best, but all-star calibre. Tim Duncan's not what he used to be but he's still Tim Duncan. He's managed to concede more than ever but he's still reliable in the post, one of the most intimidating lane-defenders in the game and an unreal passer. Does everything well at this stage. Blair is a tank, Jefferson is finally fitting in, Bonner is a sniper and Tiago Splitter might be their fourth best player and he's not even integrated yet. He was awesome last night.

[Aeroplane]

Also, how are the Spurs so good?

Solid team ball and some luck. I think the most telling stat is minutes

Tony 32.9

Manu 31.4

Tim 29.0

RE: Sloan: Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

I suspect a big Utah trade before deadline.

Did I mention, Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

[DaBestSpoona]

Pops is the best coach period. Also their team is a disciplined family they go out to dinner together, go back to their hotels before 11 to watch game tape. None of this Amare and Felton going clubbing with Lebron and Wade at 1Oak till dawn and getting blown out by the Heat nonsense.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

Is everyone else watching this right now: http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2011/02/live-video-utah-jazz%E2%80%99s-press-conference/

sloan on the edge of tears. this is not cool.

[lintmunro]

can't believe deron williams is the one who drove sloan to quit

didn't see that coming.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

"up until ten minutes ago we were trying to talk jerry and and phil out of leaving."

edit: also, Ty Corbin now officially has the shittiest job on the planet. Dude sounds so unhappy. I don't blame him.
