Bargs and Moon selected to Rookie/Sophomore team

I look forward to seeing if any players did indeed get shafted with the Bargs selection. Do they have a three point competition? Maybe Bargs can get his 'il mago' back.

Honestly, I'm psyched for this game. Probably more than I have been for a rookie/soph match. Too bad no Oden.

Moon of course, deserves to be there and can't wait to see what flashy moves he pulls off.

Now that I see the other names it's not too shocking. Ya Craig Smith, ok. But no biggie. I too would like Bargs too rest. But a first pick missing the sophmore game might not have been the best headlines.

Moon deserves it for sure.

If you think about it, more raptors will be there than you think.... Because I'm assuming Moon will bring a teammate like Juan or somethin'. Or even the assitant coach.

David Stern should be ashamed of himself
Global Marketing Appeal = Higher Rating = More Cash for NBA.

Makes you wonder about draft day and how we got "lucky" with those ping pong balls.

i think it's apparent that they're letting bargnani go to the game coz he was the no. 1 pick last year.

In all seriousness, did Bargs really deserve to get rewarded for his 1st half play? And what message does that send?

Last year draft crop was crappy?

I really hope Moon dunks on Bargnani. But I can settle with a block. :lol:

Maybe this is what Bargs needs, and maybe the a reason he played well tonight.

Like everybody's saying, he doesn't deserve to be there, but it's not his fault they included him. Just be happy for him.

Let's all hope that making this team can give Bargs some confidence that he has been lacking thus far.

I really don't see many other choices that were absolutely clear cut better than Bargs. Maybe J. Boone Josh Smith. I think what effects the selection some what is how well their respective teams are doing.

I wish him good luck and hopefully it can jump start his second half of the season.

I'm sick of babying Bargnani. Hes like the screaming child who gets anything he wants from his parents. This is a joke.

Congrats to Moon, though.

Great job by Moon & Andrea!!!

Tomorrow will know if Raps will be represented by 5 players at AllStar weekend.

It is a new record for Raptors!

Just keep wishing JC will be deservedly selected by the coaches as well... :pray:
