<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Run BJM @ Jan 31 2008, 07:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>1. Camby. 9 ppg, 14 rpg, 3 apg, 4 bpg, on pace for another DPOY. Hes on a pretty good team too. 3. Tyson Chandler- 12 pts, 12 rebs. His stats aren't as flashy as West's but if you watch the games his impact is significantly more than Wests. West is to Paul as K-Mart was to Kidd. Tyson Chandler can not be replaces and he is the anchor in the middle for the Hornets. West puts up hollow stats and hes a replaceable part as long as Paul is there IMO. Others: Ginobili, Deron Williams, Tony Parker.</div> I agree on the Tyson Chandler thing, but SMH at this.
This is how I would do it if Kidd gets traded to the West before the game... You add one spot to the East (Hedo?) You give Kidd's starting spot to the gaurd who got the most votes of the reserves. If Jason Kidd got more votes than one or two of the gaurd spots, then it's up to the coach, the player(s), and Kidd himself to maybe work something out. AI and Kidd and the Coach should probably work out something. But Jason Kidd shouldn't even have an All-Star spot IMO. That's what I hate about these prima donnas like Pierce last year, or KG with the T'Wolves, or Kobe with the Lakers, or Kidd now. Management may suck, but they should realize that just because they are great basketball players, that they aren't inherent to be on any "championship contender" except the opportunity to play basketball, make as much money as possible, and try to win every game they can. Now because of Kidd, our team could get less than 10 cents of a dollar for Kidd on the heels of the most important period in our franchise history.
Kidd had more votes than AI, therefore he deserves to start over AI. He is also a real pointguard and would be more fun to watch. The coach shouldn`t decide, the fans votes should decide starters.

I didn't even think of that, well I'm going to check the vote counts. Well Kidd had 1.24 mill votes and AI had 1.20 mill votes. So Kidd should start in the West. </div> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (pegs @ Feb 1 2008, 12:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Orlando 29 18 .617 Washington 24 20 .545 Number of Orlando All-Stars: ONE Number of Washington All-Stars: TWO How is this fair at all? Are the coaches mentally challenged? I mean, really. Hedo is better than Butler. Better than Jamison. Better than Johnson. Better than Rip. He does more for his team. He fuckin runs that team. Detroit gets 2 all-stars. Boston gets 2 all-stars. You'd think the 3rd best team in the East would get 2 all-stars as well, right? Especially with 2 players on the team playing at an all-star level? NOPE. Instead, the 6th -- Yes, SIXTH best team in the East. This league is retarded</div> I don't agree that Hedo is better than Butler. That is all, I don't really have to go into the Hamilton thing.
