Not surprising at all. Harden replaces him.

I guess I know who I'm rooting for now.

Ugh, does this mean the rookie-sophmore game is going to be a blow out?

Rookies > Sophmores

For some reason I thought they put Griffin with the Sophomores, because that's his draft class. But given that he's with the rookies, the rookies will smash. We're talking

ROOKIE TEAM ROSTER
Eric Bledsoe L.A. Clippers G 6-1 195 Kentucky
DeMarcus Cousins Sacramento C 6-11 270 Kentucky
Derrick Favors New Jersey F 6-10 246 Georgia Tech
Landry Fields New York G 6-7 210 Stanford
Blake Griffin L.A. Clippers F 6-10 251 Oklahoma
Wesley Johnson Minnesota G 6-7 205 Syracuse
Greg Monroe Detroit C 6-11 250 Georgetown
Gary Neal San Antonio G 6-4 210 Towson State
John Wall Washington G 6-4 195 Kentucky

versus

SOPHOMORE TEAM ROSTER
DeJuan Blair San Antonio C 6-7 265 Pittsburgh
DeMar DeRozan Toronto G 6-7 220 USC
Stephen Curry Golden State G 6-3 185 Davidson
--- James Harden ----
Taj Gibson Chicago F 6-9 225 USC
Jrue Holiday Philadelphia G 6-4 180 UCLA
Serge Ibaka Oklahoma City F-C 6-10 235 Brazzaville, Rep. of Congo
Brandon Jennings Milwaukee G 6-1 169 Lottomatica Virtus Roma
Wesley Matthews Portland G 6-5 220 Marquette

I got the rookies by double digits.

Ya the Rookies have the better squad. . .

I'm actually kind of disappointed Tyreke isn't playing. I mean, ya its good that hes taking this extended break to get healthy but we already missed out on seeing him tryout for the summer FIBA tournament and now hes gonna miss another opportunity to showcase his talent.

I thought Blake was out since he was in the All-Star game?

I don't know, I wouldn't underrate the experience.

I think you can choose to play or not. He probably won't go hard. I remember Yao played in the Rookie game when he was in the All-Star game.

The dunk contest it cool, other than that It's all lame. I'll watch the rookie game because DeMarcus is playing. But I'm not sure about the all star game, no one plays defense!!
