do you guys think that the pistons will have any all stars this year?? i think Ben and//or Rasheed could go. Both can play PF/C and there isnt a lot of strong PFs or Cs in the east, Besides Jermaine and MAAAAAAAAAYBE Illgauskas. What Do you guys think
I am starting to think probably not. If not I probably wont even watch it... ah who am i kidding... hopefully if they get snubbed it just relights that fire they need to win the championship.
It's a shame if the Pistons don't have a player representing the squad. The selection should be Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, or Tayshaun Prince. There should be room for Big Ben to make the team. Last year Artest, K-Mart, & Magloire made the team, and none of those players will be on it this year. Shaq takes over as the starting center, and Hill takes away one of the forward spots. So it should come down to O'neal, Pierce, Z, & Big Ben filling out the frontcourt for the East. The playoff snub will likely be Antwan Jamison.
It would be a crime If big Ben doesn't get selected and in a way Rip deserves to be considered. 20, 4 and 4 are damn good numbers but the way the east is stacked with guards It will be tough for him to make It.

He really hasn't done anything to wow people this year, I credit most of the Wizard's wins to the improvement of the team chemistry, maturity growth of Arenas and Hughes, and individual defensive improvements. He has settled for way too many jumpers and has disappeared in the crunch. On topic, I believe Big Ben or Rip deserve to go there. Big Ben should be able to with the lack of C's in the east, if he isn't there...he will be the biggest snub.
Every Piston played like a all-star tonight against the Lakers. It was like watching the Finals all over again.
