Paging Mr.Longoria to the All Star Shuttle

by Bushka on Jan 29, 2009 7:05 PM CST

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, (a man who has opinions I mostly enjoy disagreeing with) Frenchy is going to Arizona.

Yahoo! Sports obtained the rosters, and the West reserves also include the Los Angeles Lakers’ Pau Gasol, New Orleans Hornets’ David West, Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki, San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker, Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups and Portland Trail Blazers’ Brandon Roy.

He is obviously jesus in tight pants. Get with the freaking programme you llamas. Two All Stars in this year, though snubbing the mighty George gets me down.

Congrats

Congrats to TP. I think he deserved the spot, and was pleased to read of his selection. I would’ve liked to see George Hill get in the rookie game, as well.

yeah, that was a total bull pick right there. there is no way he should be in and not Al Jefferson, just to name one player. West hasn’t even been on the radar this year.

You switch West with Al jefferson in the wolves and his numbers go to the toilet. Jefferson is 10 times better

agreed

Put Jefferson with Chris paul…good lord that would be a hell of an inside outside.

+1 – West was the complete moronic pick this time. There is always one. I would have tolerated Carmelo over Al Jefferson (I would have disagreed, but tolerated it). But West over both of those guys is inexcusable. Have any of these guys watched Hornets’ games this year?

West is that guy that was so underrated that he has now become overrated

Agreed. An undersized power forward with a nice jumper, but a guy who only grabs 7 boards/game. Over Al Jefferson? Really?

Big Al is 22/10 this season and 21/11 last year, his first as a full-time starter (I know he started in Boston, but only for part of his last season there. BTW, he was 16/10 in Boston).

He’s this era’s Ben Wallace. Playing with scrappy would make many look much better than they actually are. Jefferson at least has virtually no supporting cast. I can only imagine him on a team with other viable threats.

Al jefferson is putting those numbers with TELFAIR as his point guard. He is a horrible defender, but at least he can block the ocasional shot. That a lot more that can be said about West
