Some player names are leaking out (reserves).

Zach Randolph
Derrick Rose
Rondo & Pierce

are the ones that I've seen so far

And David Lee apparently didn't make it and Knicks fans are going crazy.

Bosh and Joe Johnson in, too

Spoiler: All-Star reserves revealed (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Spoiler-All-Star-reserves-revealed?urn=nba,216300)

TNT is gonna be pissed, lol

Poor Chauncey.

Deron got screwed last year. This year it was Chauncey's turn. As long as Nash and Paul are in the west, one of those guys is going to get shafted.

None of the NBA All-Star reserves are from teams with losing records.

how it should be.

Of course that's just blind luck, since Chicago had a losing record as of yesterday and just now got back to .500

With CP3's injury, Chauncey most likely will back into a roster spot.

I had no idea he was a good three point shooter:



Phoenix Suns (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=pho) center Channing Frye (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2754) has been selected for the All-Star Weekend's 3-point Shootout in Arlington, Texas, according to a report in The Arizona Republic (http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2010/01/31/20100131spt-suns-channing-frye-three-point-contest.html).Frye would become the first center to compete in the 3-point contest since Seattle's Sam Perkins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=650), a forward-center, in 1997.
Frye, who ranks second in the NBA with 114 3-pointers made, is shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc, which is seventh-best in the league.
Frye joined the Suns as a free agent this season, his fifth in the league, after two seasons with both the New York Knicks (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=nyk) and Portland Trail Blazers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=por).


Looking at his stats I now know why. 20 total 3 pointers made in his career before this year.

I think I remember Perkins doing that, too. His release was so slow that he had a hard time getting through all of the racks, IIRC.

I think the big men tire less though than a little guy. Dirk seemed to have a quick enough release, I wonder how Fry's is.

Billups in for CP3

Billups in for CP3
If Chauncey gets another All-Star selection after this one, he should make it into the HOF.

2010 Three-Point Shootout Field is ... Billups, Pierce, Danilo Gallinari, Stephen Curry, Channing Frye, and reigning champ, Daequan Cook.

Cook? What the fuck has he done this season?

He won the shootout last year, so he gets the right to defend his "title".

Personally, I'd like to see winners excluded from competing again in some things. I just don't give a fuck if someone wins the skills contest multiple times, for example. Get new blood in.

No Kapono? Wow. That's all he does.

Kapono's playing <15 mpg... I doubt he's on the radar.

No Korver either, that's all he does

No Korver either, that's all he does
I'm not worried about Korver... he's got enough exposure from reruns of That '70s Show and Punk'd.

Chris Kaman picked to replace Brandon Roy in All-Star game.

Billups in 3 point contest:


DALLAS -- All-Stars Paul Pierce (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=662) of the Boston Celtics (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=bos) and Chauncey Billups (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=63) of the Denver Nuggets (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=den) headline the field for the NBA Three-Point Shootout, which the league announced Friday.


Pierce and Billups will be joined by defending champion Daequan Cook (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3196) of Miami, Golden State's Stephen Curry (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3975), Phoenix's Channing Frye (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2754) and New York's Danilo Gallinari (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3428) in the All-Star Weekend event on Feb. 13 at American Airlines Center.

^Ledezitis

LOL. I didn't see it on the previous page on here. I don't read the board over the weekend much.

Hey, does anyone know if Billups will be in the 3pt contest?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Zek, he was just announced as an all-star moments ago...

Spud Webb is going to be a judge for the dunk contest.

GOT THAT, CHRIS!?!

I wouldn't be surprised if Iverson does something weird like retire right after the AS game.

Dallas crushed by snow, tons of flights cancelled. Last All-Star Weekend with this much snow was 1982, but that was cocaine.

So awesome, I l'dmao.

I wouldn't be surprised if Iverson does something weird like retire right after the AS game.
Didn't he do that last year?

He's not playing due to "personal reasons". Would those include not deserving to be in the All Star game?




Probably not because he still thinks he's the best.

Yeah, AI and Kobe out, D.Lee and JKidd in.

Lee fucking deserves it anyway - coulda, shoulda but didn't.

Deron Washington is in the NBDL dunk contest tonight.

I didn't watch the rookie/sophmore thing, so I'm just seeing this, lol.


Dejuan Blair, who some would say should've been a Piston, had 22 points and 23 rebounds and was the game's MVP.

http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2010/02/jonas_jerebko_and_the_rookies.html?utm_source=feed burner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+detroit-pistons+%28Detroit+Pistons+Impact+-+MLive.com%29

I watched a little of the rook/soph game, and all they did was talk about Tyreke Evans, even when JJ had the ball. Is there a bigger waste of time than All-Star weekend?

By the way, Evans doesn't really impress me all that much.

actually evans won the MVP not blair. but yes- blair should be a piston. we were stupid to have passed on him.

and, he should've won MVP last night. even evans said he deserved a piece of the MVP last night. that might be why there's some confusion about who really won it.

my pick to win the dunk contest: SHANNON BROWN!!!!

or......gerald wallace. nate ain't winning shit this year. i like derozan a lot but he's more of an 'in-game' dunker. maybe he'll surprise me tonight though.

Why did CWebb get so much applause in Dallas?

Lmao

Did Brent Barry really just signal "the shocker" after making that shot?

would love to see c-bil win the 3 point shootout. i think curry could definitely do it if he gets his rhythm or even gallinari or however the fuck you spell his name. he's a good one.

durrant should've entered. he's got such a nice, effortless stroke.

awful night

terrible dunk contest...still better than the year desmond mason won

Shoopydamus.


I think the rookies will pull the upset. Everyone on the rookie
squad minus Blair can run all game. Sophomores have three slow-footed guys who are going to get tons of PT and aren't all that athletic in Lopez, Gasol, and Love.

time to scrap the dunk contest. that was ridiculously awful. what was gerald wallace thinking? i actually like the kid but he did dunks that are done 43 bajillion times a season- nothing at all to get excited about.

you enter a dunk contest and THAT is the best you can come up with? not one single dunk worthy of excitement. all night long.

one bad dunk contest means scrap the thing forever? Were you born yesterday, or do you just have a memory that lasts 10 minutes?

"The dunk contest is not back."

http://media.cleveland.com/shaw_impact/photo/magic-johnson-coachingjpg-6017bcae9aa16303.jpg

it was back, then it wasnt, then it was back again, then it wasnt again...

There are good dunk years and bad dunk years. This was a bad dunk year. Dont overreact to it like you're 12 years old.

This was the first truly terrible dunk contest in 8 years. That's not bad.

This was a terrible contest...

Fuck lebron james, last year at the end of the dunk contest he was all, 'Yeah Im in it next year!'

pfft

To be fair, LeBron shouldn't feel any pressure to compete if every other big name gets a free pass.

k-stat: who are you, david stern? calm the fuck down. as if i personally insulted your event or something. lol- take your midol and eat some chocolate you moody little bitch.

FYI i have thought the last few were mostly bad. dwight's phantom dunk didn't do it for me precisely because i'm not 12 years old.

and i think the format is lacking. they need to rethink that and give these guys some incentive to try more stuff.

that was easily the worst dunk contest ever. so yes- there is legitimate concern for the event as a whole. if the best dunkers don't want to ever enter- lebron backed down from a promise to enter- then it will lose it's appeal more and more.

i've been bored and unimpressed with the last several dunk contests, save for a couple of dunks here or there. perhaps part of that is that i view things differently and i'm not amused by all the costumes and crap.

I like Cuban's idea of using the All Star game rosters and offering each player one dunk with the winner getting 1 million dollars to their favorite charity.

^The NBA Cares

I haven't enjoyed a dunk contest since Jrich won. Iggy did have one nice dunk. Everything else has been tame.

Nate's win clinches it. Winners should be prohibited from competing again.

Fan voting for things like this is silly when NY or LA is involved. That 51% win for Nate never happens if he plays for the Pacers.

Glad to see that McLovin is so much cooler in real life.

A penny for Joe's thoughts when he saw Chauncey being introduced.

Hell, let's just make that a triple whopper.

<--- watching festivities

^ Just in time for the worst halftime show I've ever seen.

But according to Ernie 'THE PLACE IS STILL BUZZING OVER THAT HALFTIME SHOW"

^ Just in time for the worst halftime show I've ever seen.

Not as bad as the Superbowl.

^ missed it.

I have to say that the talent of these guys frickin impressive. These guys can score from anywhere.

Look what you traded, Joe (Chauncey). I hope he admits the stupidity of that trade someday.

I admit my stupidity that I thought it might work.

I tried to give it a chance, but it never sat well with me.

Anyone think Dwight fouled on purpose there? That was almost as bad as Deron's foul...

I was kind of down on Chauncey cuz it seemed like he would hold the ball (driblling) at the top of the arc for what seemed like forever. I'd take him holding the ball like that if he came back. :)

I admit my stupidity that I thought it might work.
Ditto. I was simply not expecting AI to fall off a cliff like he did. Hell, judging from the All-Star voting, AI's fans still can't believe it.
