Dude... Serge Ibaka isn't yet 22 years old.
He's going to be a pretty damn good player...


I was under the impression Orlando has a pretty good big man.

Not sure what you mean, it's pretty much what I've been saying - and I think of all the Western C's, Bynum matches up best on him.

Well, you said they couldnt beat anyone who had a dominant big man. I was saying the Hawks have beaten Orlando 2 out of 3 so far this year, including a win in Orlando. The loss was also in Orlando, and it was really close, down to the wire. Hawks have held Orlando to an avg of something like 84 ppg. I also mentioned Miami not because of their paint play, but they were one of the three teams you have listed as contenders. They have played Miami twice, both in Miami, and split em. They have 2 left vs Heat, both in Atlanta. The only team on the contenders list they havent beat is Boston. Atlanta plays well on the road as well, which is important come playoff time.

I guess I just think they are better than you do. No big deal, thats why they play the games.

Anyway...

They named the starters for the ASG:
West - Kobe/Paul/Durant/Melo/Yao
East - Rose/Wade/LeBron/Amare/Dwight

Stern picks a replacement for Yao, and the coach can select who starts in Yao's spot. No idea who ol' Dave'll go with the replacement, but my money would be on Pau to start at Center.

Yeah, that seems a safe bet. Melo playing PF and Gasol playing C? seems everyone shifted one to the left. Nowitski?

Sheesh... really?

Deron Williams... well, almost. And if I were building a franchise from scratch, gimme Williams over Paul (Chris Paul's knees... ugh).
But as far as this season goes? Especially *right now*? Chris Paul's the better point guard.

Rose is substantially better than Rondo. And Duncan? Having the worst season of his career.
I think Rondo and Duncan will make the rosters... but I'm not at all surprised they're not starting.

Nowitzki should be in to replace Yao or he should have been the starter ahead of Melo.
But majority are Americans voting so.....

That didn't hurt Yao's chances of getting elected as an all-star....

Yao Ming getting voted to start the all-star game shows just out out of touch with the game voters are. The guy has been a non-factor this season, was hurt all of last season, and was slightly above mediocre the season before. Cmon people, if you dont know what is happening NOW.........dont vote.
