I sort of feel sorry for Casspi - he's the underdog in this competition.
No one expects him to win.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Here we go
Not even C-Webb picked Casspi to win it
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I am looking forward to seeing Durant and LeBron gun for the MVP against each other tomorrow
He does not belong in this competition.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut
David Stern needs to not show so much favoritism and cut out the chants.

Webber, that was just weird.

I agree
Wouldn’t be surprised of they do away with it next year
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Nope. It would be better if they had some different players. And the winner gets to play in the All Star game.

Rondo was just standing there, looking at him awkwardly.
Everyone knows Rondo can't shoot.

i've been registered for a while, back when Theus was running the show
I don’t post too often though
Dwight Howard broke a guiness record earlier today
Nice!
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Whaaaat?
A letter, then a commercial break? Are they going to do this every time?
Too many commercials for this thing
They should cut it to half an hour and let them go. I don’t see why it’s separate from the other St night activities either
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
That's dumb that they each get a letter for that

Wonder if Casspi will try some of PW's tricks from his
horse win?

He said yesterday that PW gave him some help

So, what do you guys think about the Dwight Howard PED rumors?

Yes

Gotta make the layups Casspi

Crap, Rondo
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
I guess Rajon can shoot when he's open
and out of bounds
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Chuck
Why
I don't see what's wrong with giving Bobby a little experience before he starts to practise law.
Chuck gave bad mojo to Casspi
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE H-O-R-S-E BORING.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
YOU'RE A HOR
I don't see what's wrong with giving Bobby a little experience before he starts to practise law.
He is at a disadvantage in this game.
I feel for him.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
the rotation? what?
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Because he didn't play this game in his country.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Why?
He’s on a back to back?

Casspi now with anything
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Chucks acting like a douche - go figure
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Yes!
Back the guy down for 8 seconds and shoot it. That’s Chuck’s trick shot. Awesome

Is this better than last year's?
I didn’t watch last year
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Last years was just as bad.
KD shooting threes the whole time….
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?"

There we go!!
Omri baby!! On fire!!!

he didn’t go for off the Left Bank shot.

Finally
I don't see what's wrong with giving Bobby a little experience before he starts to practise law.
At this point I would rather watch vfettke,andysims and Pookey play HORSE

Durant is so cool and collected, smooth

I'm impressed with his poise and shooting ability.

That's what Grant said

There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.

Seriously, Amber. He's like totally missing all of these stupid shots that no one ever takes.
Rocks are free, and slingshots easily stolen.
I'm surprissed he hasn't tried a granny free thow yet. I figured PW would have shown him that
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Classic shot
surprised nobody’s tried that one yet. How about a granny 3?
That was always my favorite, though I could hardly make them
"Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." Proverbs 17:28
Haha
I used to practice those all the time when I was younger.
If I tried it now I would fall over..lol

Durant's shot if funny

with an H. Maybe they should’ve had 4-5 fan suggestions.

Hey Sims, is the paint settling now?

It's drying spottily.
I’m on the edge of my seat, hoping for a second coat.

Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson are headed to the Mavericks in exchange for Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quinton Ross, and James Singleton.
Can Dallas win it all with that core?
I see them in the WCF with the Lakers now

Good trade for them, I think

That's a great trade for them, holy crap
Kidd-Terry-Butler-Dirk-Haywood with Marion-Beubois-Barea-Dampier off the bench? Good team, deep team.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
And they matchup with the Lakers up front
My only concern is who guards Kobe is they want to beat them?
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
You go big
Kidd-Butler-Marion-Dirk-Haywood.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
Kidd, Jet, Butler, Marion, Dirk, Dampier, Haywood, Barea, Bobeauis
Who else you got in the West? Denver?
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Not so much about them
but about the rest of the field. Denver could challenge but they still only have Nene, the other K-Mart, and Birdman up front
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Only need three solid rotation bigs
but Birdman is the weak link.
GREENE! You’ve been superfluously apostrophe’d! - andy sims
And if one gets in foul trouble they have no one to contribute
solid minutes. I’m mostly picturing these teams having to deal with the Lakers in the WCF
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Yeah, foul trouble is a bitch.
Too bad the Lakers are so good when only Gasol plays, because Bynum fouls a ton.

Trade just got approved dallas/washington
Wow dallas got a steal on this one.. Howard/gooden for butler/haywood
yeah
It looks like Washington wants to completely blow up its team.
I woulda thought
they coulda got something better though, Youth, or draft picks. whats the point of going for less talent at around the same age?
It's all $$
Expiring contracts. They just found a team willing to take on all 3 of those contracts.

Haywood is also expiring Eddie.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I knew that
but he’s still a player that can help the Mavs right now. I think he helps them more than Godden does

Jamison to the Cavs is next
They already got the process started, might as well blow it up all in one year.

Cavs bringing everyone for LeBron so he is pleased
They gave him, Mo, Shaq, and now possibly Jamison. By the time King James leaves for NYC, they’ll have a team.
