Kobe is shooting 48% this year even better than Melo. Superstars have bad shooting nights. Bottomline is Lebron and Miami stepped up. They are unbeatable when Lebron takes over the game in that fashion. He did it in last years playoffs and this year they have Ray Allen

Their stars stepped up no doubt and they are playing around with turning the switch on and whatnot, nevertheless Kobe was a facilitator in the first half and played pretty decent D. Second half he went into all Alpha Mode got caught up in the HEAT of the battle and stopped doing both of what he was doing well in the first half. Kobe had 6 of those 20 TOs. Kobe is not Telfon and he's not Infallible, he cost them the game with a crap performance and has done so several times this year despite what his overall numbers say.
Also funny regarding the Nyets. They just made reference to their big 3 again. Dwill, JJ & Lopez. What happened to Gerald Wallace? I thought he was in the big 3? Desperate fools!
Now Greg Anthony who now does color for the Nyets said he would have Lopez or Noah in the allstar starting lineup. Never mentioned Tyson. Ughhh these Nyets drive me nuts

Homerism usually isn't a good thing...he's towing company line. Brook is having a good year not sure if I would have him as an All-Star though
Yea on the Knicks side you have Hahn and Wally pulling for Tyson. I think Tyson gets the slight edge based on record. The West makes no sense with Howard voted in on a team 5 games below .500 I can give the fans Kobe

Neither one should be not factoring team success or lack thereof.... but the starters are there based on fan votes. It's not like there aren't All-Star caliber players worthy of replacing them.
Nor would the event be devoid of fans if players got in based on Team/Individual Merit. The league tries to put so much emphasis on "it's for the fans" cut the crap.

Deron hasn't had a good year but the league office seems very into promoting Brooklyn. I think Deron, Lopez or both are on that team.
Damn Lou Williams of the Hawks might have torn his ACL. No contact knee just gave out like Shump

With Stern at the helm there have always been agendas..... hence why Brooklyn is on "The Association" on NBAtv.
BUCK FOSTON!!! i hate Chicago also. But I REALLY HATE Boston. Glad they go down.
Wow. What an end to the Bulls Celtics. Love that the CElts lost at home.
Like I said I do not under any circumstance want to see the Bulls in the playoffs. They play hard for 5qrts no matter who they have on the roster.
That was a hard fought game between Boston and Chicago. We can't avoid both of them in playoffs. We are going to need all are bigs healthy and rebounding.
Houston Loses again as Indy wins another. Houston is falling fast.

Any updates on Lou. I read knee sprain but they said he was taken off in a wheel chair.

This is going to be a tough January. They have 2 back-to-back games every week for this month. Harden also hitting a wall. Same with Asik who has gotten worse with his hands and finishing.
Vince Carter.. Underrated alltime great SG
Quick glance at the conference and the only difference between no. 1 Miami and number 8 Boston is only 6.5 games!
Very tight so far. Very interesting season.
Wiz beat Denver. Maybe the injuries are settled down and the talent is blending. Might not be an automatic "W" every time.
43pts on the road for Durant MVP
