Can't remember... When did they start the rookie game?Sharp said:
The biggest reason that there haven't been any rookies in lately is because most simply aren't that good or there's a logjam of vets playing equally well. In the West, I don't see why Griffin wouldn't make it.

Both of them had pretty insane rookie years though (though Griffin is not that far behind Shaq stats-wise). I guess that does mean the coaches have voted in players since the rookie game began though, so there's a chance. Still, they'll probably give them to players like Love and Thrillsap (though IMO Blake deserves it more than he does, this may be Thrill's only opportunity).Barrage said:

The league is pussy now; they won't risk any injury for the rookies that matter in any unnecessary showcase, and they won't risk anyone getting owned up hard - either a vet getting faced by a rook, or a rook getting destroyed by a vet.
Maybe they'll revise that for Emperor Griffin, but probably not.

There isn't a single 'center' in the West this year. I don't think Stern is going to put in Bynum over Griffin... Not like anyone has ever been hurt or anything at an ASG before either outside of a twisted ankle.captmcblack said:
Remember 2 days ago when the Lakers needed to trade Bynum for Carmelo Anthony's expiring contract 
lol @ Konex and his "ideas" about basketball and music) and that the Celtics would run away with homecourt?
This is why men don't start panicking when it is still December and the season has barely started.

what a pussy
we already won, etc.
Beating the Hornets hasn't been a big deal since November when the Clippers made it trendy and fashionable. Not that Lakers fans should be panicking, per se, but y'all can't rely on KG injuries to bail you out for the rest of the year. Or do you still think you'll be grabbing DAT first seed?bionic77 said:Remember 2 days ago when the Lakers needed to trade Bynum for Carmelo Anthony's expiring contract

Yea, he's pretty much it. Just what? 9, 11 million more to the cap? Pfft.
We didn't have the first seed 2 of the 3 years we three-peated the first time. Past that, we proved the past two years we can win at home and on the road.
Try harder.

John Wall - Rookie, 15/9/4 slightly above 2/1 A/TO ratio
Gilbert Arenas - 16/6/3 not even 2/1 A/TO ratio, hurt/traded
Brandon Jennings - 18/6/4 close to 3/1 A/TO ratio, hurt
Raymond Felton - 18/9/4 close to 3/1 A/TO ratio
Only Felton plays on a winning team (Gilbert just traded to one). Jeez...

Good lord, how many times have the Spurs played against a team missing key players this season?
ASG voter thinking:The Frankman said:
John Wall - Nice stats... hey he even has a song named after him! AW YEAH VOTE THAT MOFO UP
Gilbert Arenas - Why the fuck is he so low, he was siiiiiick last time I saw him play... must be that gun thing. Man, fuck it, vote him up!
Brandon Jennings - Shit didn't he have a 50 point game last year or something? Daaaaamn son... prolly VOTE HIM UP as well
Raymond Felton - Who the fuck is that, does he play for some shitty team like the Bobcats or Knicks or something

You forgot to add Dougie for Wall and HE LIKE A CHUBBY PENCILBEARD BABY for Felton.

Felton is both not a hot young flashy player (like Jennings and Wall), and also not a former all-star (like Arenas). In the event that somehow those guys were in actual contention to be all-stars, Felton would be in front of all of them - don't worry.
That said, Felton won't be an all-star and has no chance, barring the apocalypse.
Also, Nets backing out of Carmelowatch '10/'11 (realgm, CBSsports). lolz?

What does this team have to do with the team that threepeated the first time? Might as well bring up the Showtime Lakers while you're at it. Lakers don't look like they'll be getting first seed this year and for the first time in a while that might actually be a problem. I'm not even trolling here.Boombloxer said:

If KG's injury is as bad as it seemed... HCA's importance just took a nose-dive for the Lakers.Sharp said:
All the Lakers have to worry about is getting 2nd seed out West and 3'rd overall. They'll be more than fine if they do.

SHIN MIKE MILLER will return and unlock the Heat's true murderous intent with his forbidden techniques.
Wall had ALREADY WON rookie of the year at that point so it was cool.Jeff-DSA said:
I don't know how serious KG's injury is, I honestly don't, but what I meant was that I don't think the Lakers are anywhere close to automatic to get out of the West this year. That's new. I don't think it's an effort issue either where they can just suddenly turn it on and things will run smoothly. To be perfectly honest I thought they were giving it a fair amount of effort in both the Heat and Spurs games. Maybe not playoff effort, but good effort. Gasol and Kobe weren't bricking shots because of lack of effort. If you disagree with me, that's cool, and obviously there's plenty of season left. We'll see in the end whether these issues are overblown or not.Forceatowulf said:

Udonis wont be the same player when he gets back. I hope you come to terms with that sooner rather than later.VindicatorZ said:
I have no idea why Miami fans even try to defend that bench. Wasn't the whole point of the Heat experiment to see if a constructed team of two superstars and a Bosh, with basically all its salary tied into that core and pretty much nothing else, could singlehandedly win a chip? Don't go around messing with that formula or try to construct an actual team... that would be admitting defeat. Shit, then LeBron might just be a roleplayer or something.
Wade: Yo, Lebron, did you hear about those guys running around saying that Mike Miller and Udonis were the key to us bringing home the chip?
Lebron: LOL
Bosh: Guys, quiet. Red car is pulling ahead of green car, but blue car has been steady. If blue car wins our section gets t-shirts thrown our way.

:lol Ok nostradamus!
And Mike Miller will provide a nice boost to the bench once he gets back in form. Even if he never does, barring an injury, this team can compete and most likely beat any team in the NBA in a 7 game series.
Bring the Hate.

You have to also consider that the line-up those teams played against most likely wont be the line-up they'll play against come playoffs.Sharp said:
I'm not trying to make excuses either, we lost those games because the other team was better than us that day, period. But the fact of the matter is our teams dynamic changes when we've got our proper line-up in place and players are back in their natural positions.
Another thing to consider is that our main competition out West got swept last year with basically all of the same players they have now and it was against a team that played mediocre defense. You can't just turn a blind eye to something like that...
