It'll be interesting to see who the coaches pick for the bench.
If Nash gets the vote @ PG:
AI - Shooting Guard CP3 - YES D. Williams - YES Parker - Shoe IN B. Diddy - YES Bibby - Injured & NO Arguably Kevin Martin - injured Shooting guard
East if Kidd gets the vote:
Billups - Shoe IN Hinrich - NO Starbury - HELLS TO THE NO Andre Miller (personal bias, would never happen though) NO
JAMAL TINSLEY BITCHES. DO THE MATH.
Hasn't Kevin Martin been playing the point when Bibby is out though? Anyway, Bibby and Martin don't have a chance, I just put them on there because they are talented enough to be all stars, just not right now. Same with Starbury and Hinrich. Miller is just a personal fave. There's not shit for point guards in the east. AI, CP3, Williams, Parker, Davis are all easily better choices in the west over the Kings guards.
I have a xmas gift to bestow upon the board. And yuichi, I know we argue and you don't like me, but I gotta say thanks because you provide a lot of entertainment.
And I know this trademarked phrase was coined outside of the NBA thread, but it still seems appropriate. My first shot at graemlin creation:
If Boobie weighed as much as Fisher, Fisher would have been laid out. Gibson got the call cuz he's skinny like Rondo and flew to the ground like a rag doll. Fisher was positioned and jumped striaght up for the rebound, even got 2 hands on the ball. Boobie just bounced off him.

no way he jumped "straight up". not like it mattered, they were gonna take an L anyway.
someone needs to explain "Leboring" to me. are you not entertained?
U have low standards if u think 4 dudes watching one dude save their asses for 48 minutes is entertaining.
yes, it is.
Triangle Offense -
The goal of the offense is to fill those five spots, which creates good spacing between players and allows each one to pass to four teammates. Every pass and cut has a purpose and everything is dictated by the defense.
holy crap. This win streak is a godsend to the long suffering NBA fans in the state of Oregon.
people watch basketball up there?
b/w
seriously. after the olden fiasco, everyone just stopped paying attention. it's nice to see a team regroup and play some serious ball after all that.
i wish a team like atlanta or memphis could have the same luck. memphis has a mangina of a "star" player sitting on the bench in a suit, (well, he went 4-14 on his return vs. the pistons. maybe he's better in a suit) and atlanta has a new york level management mess without the sexual harassment.
Ive paid attention to the TrailBlazers but winning streaks in Nov/Dec by formerly bad teams or teams expected to go deep into the Post Season doesnt really impress me.

I listened to an ESPN radio interview yesterday. The dude is a class act, fo real. Member when Flip Murray went from virtual unknown to baller overnight (although he has gotten off most people's radar again) with the Sonics, under McMillian.
Talk about turning around a franchise. The dude does it well.

Its just nice going to games or watching games and not expecting to lose. This streak probably doesn't mean much in the big picture of league standings or maybe even later in the season, but it is really refreshing for the hometown fans. Now we are all pulling for the coaches to put Brandon Roy on the all-star team.

Isnt that a little much?
Dude is playing very well, but its been only 27 games into the season. And if i recall he didnt play the entire season last year. Wasnt he out during the latter half? And if so, what are you judging by?
Then again it would be good look in terms of exposure. Im getting sick of the usual suspect in the L.

Well, he has been averaging about 19, 5, and 6; but more importantly he has been putting the team on his back in the fourth quarter, handling the ball and hitting the right open man or scoring against double teams. I can see the coaches voting for a guy like him who does so many little things as opposed to a guy who is averaging 26 points a game but whose team is losing. A lot would depend on the Blazers maintaining their winning ways for the next few weeks.

When Jackson returned to the Dubs they went on their streak.
Who is more important to his team? And dont overlook Jackson's defense and swagger to the DUBS, even though Davis would probably get the majority vote.

Jamaal Tinsley>Jameer Nelson but not by much

ehhh. he had the ball, but i don't know if its kosher to barrel someone over in order to get it.

no way he jumped "straight up". not like it mattered, they were gonna take an L anyway.
You don't think they could have got the ball to Kobe for a deuce? Coulda gone OT.
U have low standards if u think 4 dudes watching one dude save their asses for 48 minutes is entertaining.
yes, it is.
Jordan>Lebron
Jordan's Team>Lebron's Team

Popularity Contest dude. Its not about facts.
When Jackson returned to the Dubs they went on their streak.
Who is Roy knockin off this list?
toine is a guard now ?
Paging Maru/Motown67............
Jackson is 20/4.9/4ass w/ 1.58 stl
Roy is 19/4.4/5.6ass w/ 1.00 stl
Who is more important to his team? And dont overlook Jackson's defense and swagger to the DUBS, even though Davis would probably get the majority vote.
Check the NBA. I lifted this. We all know he's a Fat Small Forward playing PF now.
Ps... Dude went 6-10 from 3 against the Pacers last night.
Coaches would rather have Roy on their team than S-Jax. "Popularity Contest dude"
I agree there.
