just get ready

Going to be funny when Kyrie makes it though.

Both should. Deron shouldn't.

This is what I'm talking about. The Jrue and Thad two man game. Stop running the PnR/PnP with Lavoy or Hawes. Let Jrue and Thad be the focal point of our offense.

Jrue is making it fellas, count on it. Deron has an $80 million cast with him and Jrue is still playing better than him in every category. Pierce = plays SF, Jennings = no way, JJ = maybe at the other guard position. Uncle Drew is the only threat IMO, and rightfully so.

Five promising things I saw from this game..

- Jrue's ability to take over.
- Thad's ability to be defensive potential to be wreck havoc in our opponent's passing lanes, ala Iguodala.
- Jrue and Thad's two man game in the crucial moments of the game.
- 76ers defensive potential in the third quarter where we forced a lot of TOs and poor percentage shots by harassing and pressuring the ball handler.
- ET's ability to find the open man.

I was at the game. Had a perfect backcourt view of the action and let me just say that Jrue's court vision has improved leaps and bounds.

Is there a point guard playing at a higher level right now than Holiday? I'm talking all around, the points, the assists, the clutch shots anyone? I mean Brandon Jennings keeps winning player of the week but I wouldn't trade Jrue for him ever!
Rondo got hurt last night and i'm going to bet he skips out on the all star game. That should open up an alternate spot for Holiday. It will probably go to Jennings but Holiday should be considered.

Watching how fast Thad is on the fastbreak with the ball in his hands and how he cause havoc in the passing lanes. How could he not fit as ou starting smallforward with a backcourt of Jrue/ Turner ballhandling?

Jrue is going to get knocked for playing on a **** team.


Jennings team is in the playoffs last time I chiecked, Pierce, Johnson and Deron too.


That seems to be the key to the reserves for a while.

sucks too since Jrue is balling on a budget right now

The Celtics are barely above .500. If we argue on the basis of the winning percentage, there is no way that Boston should be represented by three players. Johnson and Williams should not be together at the all star game as it is clearly Lopez who is the Nets' MVP. So at most the Nets may have two allstars.

It is reasonable to elect players to the Allstar game if there are on a winning team. But at times you may break with this rule as Deron Williams got in last year and Kevin Love twice even though their team sucked more than ours. If Holiday stays hot and we make up ground on the Bucks, then I am quite optimistic that he is in.

The best players should be in the all-star game, not role players like **** jr smith... I understand rewarding players for sacrificing for the team, but you can't fault Jrue for not having Bynum. I would be really dissaointed if he didn't make it.

I hope he makes it too (if only for ore bailout calls lol) but I could him getting jobbed for those **** reasons I gave earlier....i have no clue how KG made the team (all star troll tho....) but I could see Pierce getting the nod for no reason other than his name.

Kyrie, Deron and maybe Joe are probably locks unfortunately....Jrue will make it probably as an alternate lol. Jennings got a shoe deal yo.

This league man.

but I hope he makes it. I love all star weekend (probably more than I should) but I enjoy it a lot more when we have dudes involved....it would be awesome if Turner **** around and makes the 3pt contest lol.

Joe is averaging less than Jrue...Kyrie is averaging more, but he has lower assists and his team his worse...How do you see the two of them making it. Deron was terrible this year, the only way I see him making it is if they select him based on past history...I feel there's a 75% chance Jrue makes the team. He's really a top 10-15 player at the moment, and I feel the coaches know that. These are coaches, not fans, they're not as idiotic as some of the fans who vote in KG, Dwight, and attempted to vote in Jeremy frickn LIN...
