Any thoughts on the all star game?

Happy to see I snuck 3 blokes into the team - including the ageless 78 year old Les Gafa for his 12th all star game appearance.

I reckon the great 8 looks slightly stronger, so reckon they might take it home this season.

In the three point shootout, I've got half the contenders, so hopefully I can take it out!. Don't reckon Hahi or Wazza are much chance, I'll back Asghari to win it from Goodall.

my backup C/PF got in .... WTF???? :)

Castaldo 19.5 PPG (8th), 14.5 RPG (6th) and not in top 4 votes but Dordecivic gets in. I always "enjoy" the randomness of all-star (and MVP) voting

But at least Durk snuck in as he does.

very random indeed, how did Wazza make it in the 3 point comp.. he has been playing as a PF all season.
but good to see ashgari back in the comp and he should win it cos he was robbed by couto costa 2 seasons ago.

but sad to see Wazza not in the all star game... maybe I should play him in his natural postion next season.

The perks of an early cup exit. Well I guess if we lose just blame my team. Interested to see how my team will go with a decent PG though (no one playing D will help too).

Pedrosa not getting a game in The AllStars Game as a Small Forward? Bit unlucky?

None of my players even getting a vote? As expected. NEXT time Barton is here he will be playing!

I think talk of Bynum being injury prone are a bit unfair though.

It's not like he breaks down in training like Oden... His three major knee injuries have come from..

- Landing on Lamar Odom's foot in 2009.
- Kobe falling into his knee in 2010.
- Landing on DeJuan Blair's foot against San Antonio in 2011.

Those required surgery in the end. But fair to say he was a bit unlucky in those two scenarios, because even after surgery it takes a bit of time to get the strength back, which limited his effectiveness for a while.

You can be unlucky. I have been unlucky. I have injured my foot and haven't played for a year and a half. It isn't the bad luck that is the issue though. For such a big man once the injuries start it is hard for them to stop. Think of Yao Ming, Ralph Sampsom, Georgie Murison (sp?), Greg Oden etc, those big guys once they start getting hurt it tends to continue. I just think if I had a big man who is still seen to have a ton of potential, who is a really skillful and even dominating player when in the right physical and mentl state, and who has great trade value, I would see if I could trade him for someone who is less fragile in every way.

So you guys gearing up for a huge Christmas Eve game, then? The Battle of the ZeroThirteens. I'm excited. I'm just disappointed I'll be on a plane over the Pacific when it's on... it'll be the first result I check when I'm off the plane, though.

Did anyone else see the Clippers role the Lakers today? Was that real or did I have some kind of ridiculous dream?

Get on board those Clips for anyone that does not know. What an exciting team with so much potential, these guys are ready to explode!!!

They'll be good but not THAT good .... but Jordan/Griffen should break the record for the number of dunks in a season by a team just between the 2 of them with Paul feeding them all season
