    I remember being pissed, but looking back it probably had to do with his reoccurring knee issue that year (which was known among fans since he missed a fair amount of games that year, and played like crap). But I don't remember them stating that was the reason.

    Good. Less chance of injury and more rest.

    I remember when I went to see the Olympics team play at the MC during the Americas that Clyde didn't play because of knee issues. Bird didn't play either. Those were the two players I wanted to see the most.

    Maybe LaMarcus was traded and the other team wants him to not risk getting hurt!

    You heard it here first folks, the Blazers are trading LaMarcus for Jeremy Lin!

    fuck it, I changed the channel. All it is, is Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James 1 on 1.

    All-Star Games in general, regardless of sport, are worthless, pointless, and is a naked cash grab. It has nothing to do with the fans and everything to do with money.

    I can't tell if he just doesn't give a crap now, or if he's bored. But he looks like he's in Rasheed Wallace pre-season mode here.

    LA/Bynum/Nash on the west have all played under 10m while Hibbert/Deng have played under 10 on the east.

    Bynum makes sense. he's injured.
    Nash makes sense, he's old and has nothing to prove (in relation to being an all star).

    I hope there's a valid reason why LaMarcus got the fewest minutes of anyone else.

    The nice thing about having Jay Jensen be the trainer for the west is that he'll probably have Bynum get double microfracture surgery tomorrow.

    I would rather he give Durant double MF surgery tomorrow.

    I bet Aldridge isn't so motivated to make it next year. Not saying he won't play like an allstar but this probably wasn't his expectation
