I hope you are right no Utah Representatives. THey need to rest and recover and have a chip on their shoulder.

I would love to have DWill play at his home area, but then again I love angry DWill. The reason I can handle Deron having lower stats this season is because he isn't any worse, but the players around him are playing better, such as Brewer and AK. The snub is what it is, and let's hope it sparks him like it usually does.

I actually think Deron might get better after he makes the All-Star game rather then getting snubbed again. He may feel like he is an actual all-star and start to play more confidently all around. Plus it never hurts the whistles.

I think Deron gets the nod over Billups. Can't see Roy being left out either.

The general consensus on nba sites is D-will: in. Booze: out

i would be shocked if it wasn't that way

Yeah neither Billups nor Pau deserves to be in the game over D-Will. Both teams already have representatives in the game, and the Jazz have too good of a record not to be represented. D-Will is gonna make it this year. Unless he does something terribly stupid before the selections are made... like draws a gun on another or something absolutely (Please Use More Appropriate Word) like that.

carrottop12 · Post #8 » by **carrottop12** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 8:27 am

Votes are already in bro. Guns away.

But seriously, getting the nod would probably be a nice thing for Deron considering the loss he suffered with his uncle.

Votes were cast before tonight's game.

"Finally, the last spot should go to Deron Williams. The Jazz, due to their ineptitude on the road, are not a serious contender in the West, and, in fact, might be pushed out of the playoffs altogether with the emergence of the Thunder and Grizzlies. Williams does all he can to see that it doesn't go down like that. Quite simply, he is the best point guard in the league. The combination of size, strength, scoring ability, vision, and toughness make him a "no-brainer" to represent the West on Valentine's Day.

ESPN analyst Tim Legler is a regular contributor to the Daily Dime."

This was made today in the daily dime. What is this guy smoking? Has he been passed out for the last ten games or something? I know the season isn't over, but putting the Thunder and Grizzlies ahead of the Jazz, considering how we have been playing, our lead, and the difference in schedule strength is a joke. Thanks for your vote of confidence for DWill, but you are stupid. It makes you wonder what those ESPN analysts do all day with their spare time...

^ You know i've seen a lot of ppl jumping on the Thunder and Grizzlies bandwagon and I know the Grizz have won what is it now 10 straight at home? But they are a worse road team than than the jazz. And as far as homecourt advantage goes I'd take the jazz on that as well. As far as the Thunder is concerned their conference record vs. the west is just 9-15. When you get to the end of the season you gotta win games vs. conference rivals it is yet to be seen if they can do that.

I'm trying to search out a single category in which Randolph exceeds Boozer. Shooting pecentage: Boozer Rebounding: Even Assists: Boozer Steals: Even Blocks: Boozer. How does Randolph win this one on one competition?

carrottop12 · Post #13 » by **carrottop12** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:46 pm

The fact that he is having a career year should give him the nod over Boozer. The success of the Grizzlies will give him a really good chance too.

Sloanfeld · Post #14 » by **Sloanfeld** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 2:44 pm

I think D-Will makes it and Boozer gets snubbed. Driveway is right, the Randolph love has gone a bit too far. It's like two seasons ago when Portland had a 13 game winning streak and Roy benefitted from that by making the ASG over D-Will.

I wonder what his source is

edfmx86 · Post #17 » by **edfmx86** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 6:52 pm

yahoo leaked the reserves!
Deron is in!

Boozer snubbed! About time for D-Will though.

The Suns with two players starting is laughable. Really, Dork should be starting. He is the BEST PF in the West and the game is in Dallas. Amare shouldn't even be on the team. Nash should be a reserve.

edfmx86 · Post #19 » by **edfmx86** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 6:53 pm

Im stoked, Congrats to Deron! Well deserved (for the last 3 years)
