So, do any of you care if no Spurs make the all-star roster this season? Obviously, if Manu wasn’t hurt, this would be a moot point.

It’d be a bit peeved, and admittedly, I’d probably care all that much less about the game. Sad?

I care but only because I feel Tony has earned it. I usually don’t really pay attention to the All-Star game.

Yeah, I do think Tony is one of the best 4 healthy guards in the West. Problem is, Nash and Cp3 should be there before him.

Not to disrespect Nash, but like Kenny “The Jet” Smith has said before, players on winning teams should be rewarded. I think Parker, Ty Lawson, and Kyle Lowry all deserve to be on the all-star team over Nash.

I’d be up for that… for the sheer fact that it might just switch things up from year to year. I HATE the thing in baseball where every team has to have an all star.

Not really, too many talented players in the West to get irked over such a thing.

I wouldn’t care, but I do think Tony deserves to be on the team.

I think the coaches would add Iguodala as a reserve.

Well, Duncan is averaging more stats this season than last season when he made the team, but sadly, I just don’t think they’ll be kind to him this season.

Xbox 360. Been playing Skyrim lately but I have a brand new copy of Red Dead Redemption GOTY waiting for when I finish Skyrim.
My 360 is all fucked up and the tray gets stuck so I gotta jiggle the thing with a screwdriver and I’m sure one of this days it’ll stop working

I did the same thing I always do, I hoarded like one of those people in A&E and now I have so much gold and so much cool stuff that it’s not even worth searching most containers. Enchanting helps a lot too.
I’m just hoping they release the new patch soon because a bunch of quests are broken.

The East is interesting this year. Everyone pretty much has Miami and the Bulls in the East Finals, but I’m not sure that Boston, Philly and Indy isn’t capable of winning a first or semi-final series, either.

Uh. Fisher dominates Denver’s nuggets. Hits a clutch 3 near the end and stops Ty Lawson trying to take him off the dribble for a tie on Denver’s last play of the game.
