So what would the 2nd team All-Star West squad look like?

PG - Steve Nash
SG - Monta Ellis
SF - Michael Beasley
PF - LaMarcus Aldridge
C - Al Jefferson

Bench:
PF - Kevin Love
PF - Lamar Odom
SF - Rudy Cool
C - Emeka Okafor

And who else?

senormysterioso · 02-04-2011, 04:55 PM

For sure what you have listed, except maybe Okefor...I don't know
but other then them;
For guards; Kevin Martin and Deron Williams, Tony Parker, maybe Eric Gordon
Forwards; Paul Milsap, Nene, Luis Scola, David West,

SeanTaylorRIP · 02-04-2011, 05:12 PM

But Deron williams made it.

Why does there seem like there is so much jealousy towards Blake Griffin? I haven't heard anything like this in a long ass time at least in my memory. He's not an asshole, he doesn't talk **** on the court, he seems very humble, but it's like because he's young and can dunk alot of veterans are taking shots at him.

Andre Miller already took a cheap shot at him on the court then made some extra comments this week, it's like really dude? Jealous much? Plus he's technically not even a rookie this year so it shouldn't even be a big deal that he made the all star team.

I just don't understand why guys are acting like little bitches when it comes to him.

Andre Miller is pissed because Griffin made it over my boy Aldridge, who really should be on the team. What he has done with that team is very much worthy of being an All-Star selection.

Love me some Blake Griffin. I only have 2 knocks on him:

1. In the first game against the Bulls, he flopped a lot. Didn't in the 2nd game, so I forgive him (for now).
2. He's an awful shooter, especially FTs, which annoys me to no end.

The Knicks are way to inconsistent to call them a lock for the 6th seed. I think they will end up 6th, mainly because everyone after them is terrible, but I don't think they are close to a lock. They've already shown they can lost 3 or 4 games in row to suspect teams multiple times this season.

However, 6 seed would likely mean Bulls-Knicks first round. Mmmmm. I only hope that we get to see Spike Lee pout in the front row after talking **** to the entire Bulls team after Amare dunks the ball in a 22-20 game in the first quarter...

He does have to work at those free throws...but VDN is running the kid into the ground. He played a ton of minutes against the Bulls, 41 to be exact. I can see why he missed some of those free throws at the end of that game. However, when your only shooting 61% from the line, there is always room for improvement.

Should Clips fans be worried of a burnout of Blake before season's end?

I agree also. Aldridge has always been a beast but he's really stepped his game up. That said, I still don't think that reasoning explains him taking a cheap shot at him in a game and through the media. Blake Griffin doesn't have any control over the voting.

Just doesn't seem like he really did anything to bring on the heat he's been getting from some veterans.

Okay, I was trying to do a second team all-star for the East. ITS IMPOSSIBLE DUDE! It sucks so hard! I mean Felton, Boozer, and Bogut maybe. But Lord, the East is terrible past the Celtics, Heat, Magic, Bulls, and Hawks. Knicks are okay, not sure how they'd fare out west. Prolly battling for a low teer playoff spot. But after that, its terrible Ernie.

Eddie House for MVP.

In total agreement!

Isn't awesome having two of the four best players both on ur team? Last night The King goes for 51 and tonight D-Wade has 22,12,10. Oh man, we are great!

SickwithIt1010 · 02-04-2011, 08:34 PM

People hate blake griffen because the guy plays his ******* ass off. This league is so used to slacking and not playing hard that they think this kid is trying to show them up...i love it.

SeanTaylorRIP · 02-04-2011, 09:04 PM

Uh oh Kevin Love gets the last allstar spot, Andre Miller might need to be on suicide watch.

prock · 02-04-2011, 09:09 PM

Ah, there is justice in the world after all...

Chucky · 02-04-2011, 09:26 PM

Just got back from the Raps-Twolves game. Calderon with 19 assists. Amir Johnson played like a beast with 19 points, 12 boards and 6 assists and Bargs dropped 30.

Gotta say...wasn't overly impressed with Love. Realistically an all-star should be able to dominate a ****** team like the Raps and Love just didn't do that (especially not on the defensive end....allowing Amir Johnson to drop 19)

LonghornsLegend · 02-04-2011, 09:28 PM

What was Love's stat line? Too lazy to look.

Chucky · 02-04-2011, 09:29 PM

Still managed to drop 20/15, but at no point did he "take over" the game or dominate like an all-star should/always does against the Raps.

yodapoop · 02-04-2011, 11:02 PM

Hahahahahahahaha, the Cavs are gonna tie the Cavs for the longest losing streak with their next loss. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 1-32 or something like that in their last 33.

Dear Dan Gilbert,

How is that NBA championship coming?

And one more thing, how does mine and LeBron's ass taste?

Sincerely,
The City of Miami and Miami Heat fans.

Peace!

MetSox17 · 02-04-2011, 11:31 PM

I really don't remember this many Heat fans before this summer..

MichaelJordanEberle (sabf) · 02-04-2011, 11:31 PM

Where's the Heat's championship?

Oh yeah. It's February.

At least to Yoda's credit, he has been a Heat fan for a long ass time, I remember him cheering for them when I registered here.

I was a Heat fan before the summer. I know Shiver, Guru, and I were. The others....I am not sure. Not saying they weren't fans, but those 3 defntly are not bandwagoners.

SeanTaylorRIP · 02-04-2011, 11:35 PM

I was a Heat fan back in the Tim Hardaway/Mourning days but haven't been sicne and won't be as long as the big 3 are there.

Only February. Its coming in June of 2012 prolly. But its coming. And yeah, I said 2012. Boston scares me alright. There are some similarities between LeBron and D-Wade that concern me, like well there inability to beat Boston.
