Well. Oklahoma really plays some solid piece of bbal. first in west and still with a chance of getting the first overall record! Brooks really deserves it!

Rose not a starter

i demand a recount!

I made an objection but with no result. Nash is officially a starter...
But as Thibbs is the coach, someone. might get a little more playing time!!

or Tibbs can play Rose early during the "fun" time

and then Nash during either the grind it out tough time or the meaningless garbage time

u kno...so put more pressure on Nash while resting Rose for the second half of the season

D'antoni might get mad though...oh well

[Cruzerr]

Yeah , this is Stern, I just wanted to say that Derrick Rose is not a starter because I have good times with Na... I meant the voting was rig.... I wanted to say that He has not been has good as Nash.

Sometimes I dont understand 2k.

Kentucky Duo Highlight Rookie Challenge Selections

The former Kentucky Wildcats duo of John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins is among the selections for the 2011 NBA Rookie Challenge in Los Angeles. The two teams are going to be coached by the Head Coaches of the two Los Angeles City teams,Phil Jackson of the Lakers and Vinny Del Negro of the Clippers. The two teams are going to be consisted of the better fresh names in the league today. Darren Collison who was snubbed from the All-Star game characterised this as a chance to show he could play in a future ASG."Of course I can.I can be flashy and all and still can help the team win." David Andersen,who became the oldest player in sophomore team in All-Star Weekend History said: "This is a real honor.I was draft back in 2002 but preferred to play overseas and come in the NBA last year to test my skills.I'm glad to see my work being rewarded".

But the big absence is Blake Griffin.Griffin injured his shoulder a week ago on a game against the Raptors and it's decided that he withdraw from the game and as he said probably from the Dunk Contest as well. " I don't know man.They told me that I will be out for 2 weeks,and I'm really disappointed that I won't participate in this Weekend..." The final decision about the player who will replace Griffin on the Dunk Contest is going to be announced either today or tomorrow.

I was surprised too seeing this, but as Griffin is out,Air Congo might have a chance to participate in the slam dunk contest in Blake's position...

[Bucket]

Griffin injured.. That sucks. David Andersen in sophomore team?

[KidJustin]

Andersen was in mine too....weird. he gets cut in the off season

but no Blake!? that is messed up

[George7]

Really surprised to about Andersen! Didn't expected in any occasion to be selected....

but no Blake!? that is messed up

Well Blake's injury wasn't in the headlines and as all of my save files are after his injury.He was injured just before my game with sacramento...

So do you suggest a player in particular in order to replace Griffin in the dunk contest? I have some names in my mind but going to post the replacement along with the ASW contests.

[KidJustin]

George7, all up to you on the replacement

DeAndre Jordan might be interesting if u want a Clipper

[George7]

In fact he's one of the names I have in my mind. I'm going to check him along with the others later and when I have a break from reading for the exams later today, I'm going to let you know...

[Cruzerr]

Ibaka or J.R Smith
