[Spur|n|Austin]

That Sophomores roster is great. A lot of young talent there.

[Horry For 3!]

Robert Horry is in the Celebrity All-Star Game

[timtonymanu]

Horry's in the Celebrity Game.

Wonder how good he still is. Maybe sign him if he looks good?

LMAO.

[Horry For 3!]

You know we be seein Horry For 3!

[Allanon]

Becky Hammon in the celebrity game....don't tell Sigz.

[timtonymanu]

Horry looks so out of shape. He kind of looks like Shaq.

[sa_kid20]

Pitbull looks like a shorter Jason Kidd that runs funny.

[Horry For 3!]

alllreadyyyyy

[Spurologist]

Horry's in the Celebrity Game.

Wonder how good he still is. Maybe sign him if he looks good?

LMAO.

that boy ain't coming back...he's gained about 30 pounds from the looks of it


Plus Nancy Leiberman with the worst kind of carry I've ever seen...:lol

[Horry For 3!]

that boy ain't coming back...he's gained about 30 pounds from the looks of it


Plus Nancy Leiberman with the worst kind of carry I've ever seen...:lol

That was a double dribble too.

[DPG21920]

These guys are all terrible and this calf roping thing is such a bad idea. First up, CP3 on crutches...

[timtonymanu]

the only one that looks decent is TO. no surprise.

[Seventyniner]

I love the old-school All-Star uniforms. Didn't Mullin wear one of those as a player?

[EricB]

OMG @ Craig Sager's suit...

[Bukefal]

that boy ain't coming back...he's gained about 30 pounds from the looks of it


Plus Nancy Leiberman with the worst kind of carry I've ever seen...:lol

:lol yeah he looked very big :lmao

[EricB]

Stay healthy Dejuan.......

[EricB]

:lol @ Brandon Jennings rockin the Armon Gilliam Gumby hair

GASP!

DeJuan rockin the headband!

Damn, he'll be lucky to play the rest of the year after that now...

[DPG21920]

Man, I want to see Blair murk these guys.

[Spurologist]

Damn....that sophomore lineup is loaded Rooks don't have a chance.

[EricB]

I wanna see more Dejuan crossin guys over goin to the hole :lol

[EricB]

Damn....that sophomore lineup is loaded Rooks don't have a chance.


IMO its balanced pretty well.

Guys like Harden and Jennings and Evans can fill it up.

DeJuan will be lucky to touch the ball.

[EricB]

:lol

Yeah Kevin you drafted Mayo then did a dumbass trade in trading him away.

[Chieflion]

Jennings will miss 20 shots for Blair to grab offensive rebounds.

[HarlemHeat37]

+1 on both EricB's posts..

Always hoping for a healthy DeJuan, and Saiger's suit is the equivalent of the Spurs in 3rd quarters..

[Spurologist]

IMO its balanced pretty well.

Guys like Harden and Jennings and Evans can fill it up.

DeJuan will be lucky to touch the ball.

Rooks = small ball

Remind you of something? let's see how that holds up.

[EricB]

DeJuan the starting center around 3 guards and a small forward...

[DPG21920]

Howard wanting to see the beast!

[EricB]

Rooks = small ball

Remind you of something? let's see how that holds up.


small ball in all star games equals scoring.

Scoring > Defense and rebounding in all star games.

[EricB]

Dejuan doesn't look like he wants to be out there.

[Chieflion]

Blair giving Lopez some trouble down low.

[Spurologist]

small ball in all star games equals scoring.

Scoring > Defense and rebounding in all star games.

true true but it will get competitive....edge Sophs

[ace3g]

nice shot by Blair over Lopez

[EricB]

LMAO Dejuan crossing up Lopez and bagging the 15 footer.

NICE

[EricB]

:lmao @ Blair playing point

[HarlemHeat37]

Ian must have given some pointers to Blair before the game, since he dominated Lopez and all..

[Chieflion]

Omri Casspi dunks on Gallinari with a beautiful pass by Blair.

[EricB]

Damn, Casspi is a stud....

[EricB]

Ian must have given some pointers to Blair before the game, since he dominated Lopez and all..

Then Blair told him to STFU and get him a gatorade.

[ace3g]

one thing I noticed when Blair was reworking his FT form, is that he was shooting his mid range J like that to which he shouldn't do because he had a good jumper in summer league and preseason. Leave the one handed form for the FT line

while I was typing, Blair trying to a PG and a wrap around pass that went off line

[DPG21920]

Rooks are showboating too much :lol

[EricB]

DeJuan with the TIP IN!

4 points 2 or 3 boards.

He could have 18 rebounds if he wants lol.

[Spurologist]

BLAIR getting touches....:tu

[poop]

let us hope and pray pop doesnt see the headband.

[Chieflion]

Stat padding is DeJuan Blair.

[ace3g]

you can tell Blair is having fun out there

[Spurologist]

Then Blair told him to STFU and get him a gatorade.

:lol

[EricB]

:lmao @ Blair going between the legs again

Blair has the potential here tonight to really get this name even bigger out there.

Howard and McHale are practically drooling over him.

[EricB]

you can tell Blair is having fun out there


Yeah at first he looked like he was just going through the motions but then he got into it.

Now on the bench. Pop taking long shots of Wine after all that between the legs and headband stuff goin on there.

[poop]

haha actually some good posts from EricB.

[Chieflion]

O.J Mayo looking good out there.

[alchemist]

Yeah at first he looked like he was just going through the motions but then he got into it.

Now on the bench. Pop taking long shots of Wine after all that between the legs and headband stuff goin on there.
:lmao :toast so true

[lefty]

Marc Gasol is so going to lose his arm tonight

Kevin Love is safe since he admires Duncan

[lefty]

Are those kids gonna STFU ?

[23LeBronJames23]

Kevin Durant is the reason why Rooks are winning.

[DPG21920]

Blair!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

There was your Blair highlight!

[sportan73]

booooooooooooooooooomshakalakalakalaka

[Spurologist]

OH SHIT DEJUAN....off the backboard

[FeZZy]

Blair! Did you guys see that! I want gif nowwwww

[RobSM64]

The Beast almost takes down the basket!

[Chieflion]

[siraulo23]

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tyreke is pretty damn sweet

[SAtown]

omfg Blair

[siraulo23]

[Chieflion]

The rookies might actually win this game!

[DPG21920]

Evens is sick. Jennings is chucking some shots.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Go Rookies!

[alchemist]

Casspi + Blair = :wow

[lefty]

Damn I just realized that tonight's game is not being played in Cowboys Stadium

[EricB]

Boy these point guards on the Rookie team don't like passing the ball at all.

Jennings is an absolute ball hog.


They're just having fun.

Don't take the game so seriously.

[Pistons < Spurs]

MoneyMase

Anybody in Dallas, I got 2 extra tickets.. The code is to say @moneymase, in front of the entrance of the aren and the tickets are yours!

[EricB]

I feel for DeJuan.

The message waiting for him at the hotel when he gets back from Pop after that dunk...


Whooooo.

[lefty]

I feel for DeJuan.

The message waiting for him at the hotel when he gets back from Pop after that dunk...


Whooooo.
" No more dunks tonight, or I will drag your ass back to San Antonio over the interstate "

[spectator]

anyone got a link to the boxscore?

[DPG21920]

What entrance and for what game?

[lefty]

Go De Rozaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

WTF Gordon?

[Lady M]

anyone got a link to the boxscore?

http://www.nba.com/games/20100212/RKESPH/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0030900002

[DPG21920]

Yeah, all star games are not that serious, but even I am annoyed by Jennings. I am sure the other players are to a certain extent as well.

[EricB]

I'm not, but it would be nice if actually passed the ball..considering that he is a point guard.

You guys are wayyyy too hung up on "The point guard is supposed to do this...."

[EricB]

Yeah, all star games are not that serious, but even I am annoyed by Jennings. I am sure the other players are to a certain extent as well.


If he was missing I think they would be.

Its like when your playing on the street, if that guy is makin and you winnin, your cheerin him on. If he's missin, then your sayin, hey, dude, share it.

[himat]

I'm not, but it would be nice if actually passed the ball..considering that he is a point guard.

:lmao If you didn't care you wouldn't keep bringing it up.

[EricB]

I give the NBA an E for Effort on the dunk in.

It still ends up being the uncomfortable trying to dunk for 2 mins fail.

[DPG21920]

Kenny: "Athletes win dunk contests"

Charles: "Maybe we should put a deer in":lol

[EricB]

What the hell are you talking about? You think his teammates want him shooting it everytime he touches the ball?


I highly doubt they take it as seriously as you are.

Again, they're winning so I doubt they care.

[himat]

He is making 50% of his shots right now, so its not like he's missing.

But does anyone know the last time the rookies won? I don't think the stacked 03 class won.

[EricB]

Kenny: "Athletes win dunk contests"

Charles: "Maybe we should put a deer in":lol


Stromile Swift and Ian Mahinmi, you've been summoned to Dallas...

[RobSM64]

blair's got 8 boards? Nice.

[lurker23]

He is making 50% of his shots right now, so its not like he's missing.

But does anyone know the last time the rookies won? I don't think the stacked 03 class won.

Rooks last won in 2002.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_All-Star_Weekend_Rookie_Challenge

[himat]

I completely forgot that D-Rose wasn't playing...if he wasn't hurt I think the Sophomores would be killing it right now.

[DPG21920]

I don't think I have ever heard Gerald Wallace speak. His earrings are gigantic and he dresses like Tim Duncan :lol

[ace3g]

nice drive by blair there

[himat]

Rooks last won in 2002.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_All-Star_Weekend_Rookie_Challenge

Thanks. They could win again today.

[Horry For 3!]

Da beast, beastin!

[TIMMYD!]

Heavy D showing all those GMs what they could've had.

[DPG21920]

Curry on fiyah

[ace3g]

ah Blair got poked in the eye

[RobSM64]

blair just got hit in the face

[lefty]

Blair has great hands




Probably got them from some other dude's arms

[Juanobili]

Blair with a double double already. niceee

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Nate Robinson: "he reminds me of uhhhh....uhhhhhhhh......a football player"

then commercial break

[Juanobili]

:lmao

Nate Robinson: "he reminds me of uhhhh....uhhhhhhhh......a football player"

then commercial break

ahahaha

[EricB]

If Blair could get enough garbage points and more rebounds, he MIGHT have a shot at the MVP.

[EricB]

James Harden looks like a young Chris Mullin.

Such untapped talent there... Crazy.

[TIMMYD!]

Heavy D got stitches. Fuck.

[lurker23]

If Blair could get enough garbage points and more rebounds, he MIGHT have a shot at the MVP.

I agree. I'd argue that his current line of 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists is better than Jennings or Evans who have 16 and 19 points respectively. MVPs usually go to the guys with the points though, unfortunately.

[EricB]

Pop just jumped into his BMW pajama pants and night mask and all and is now racing up 35 to Dallas to personally get Blair home.

[ShoogarBear]

Blair has great hands




Probably got them from some other dude's arms

:lmao

[EricB]

I agree. I'd argue that his current line of 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists is better than Jennings or Evans who have 16 and 19 points respectively. MVPs usually go to the guys with the points though, unfortunately.


Yeah typical All Star BS. Ala 1996 when Shaq should've been the MVP.

[RobSM64]

Kevin McHale :"Popovich called, not about the stitches, but to tell him not to shoot anymore 3's"

[EricB]

:lmao @ Pop calling to tell Blair not to shoot anymore 3s :lmao

[ace3g]

note from Pop given to TNT commentators "not to check on his eye but tell him not to shoot anymore 3's"

[Dex]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

A note from Pop to the announcers with a message to Blair, not to check on his stitches, but to tell him not to shoot any more threes!

[Spurologist]

Jennings made a pass

:wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow

[TIMMYD!]

If I was going to be able to hang out with anyone besides Tim in the NBA, I think Nate would be it.

[EricB]

Nate Robinson definately has a future in broadcasting after his career is over.

Which is probobly in 5 years.

[Dex]

Just Pop being Pop. No surprises there.

[EricB]

If I was going to be able to hang out with anyone besides Tim in the NBA, I think Nate would be it.

I'll take the OKC crew of Green Durant Westbrook and Harden.

[siraulo23]

pop is watching the game? :wow

[Pentagruel]

Yeah, im surprised heh. Nate can really speak.

[EricB]

I hate shoe companies trying to be artistic with their commercials.

[DPG21920]

If Blair would have hit that 3, he would have definitely earned more PT from Pop.

[FeZZy]

haha

http://www.nba.com/video/channels/allstar/2010/02/12/0030900003_wst_est_play2.nba/?ls=iref:nbahpt2

[EricB]

pop is watching the game? :wow


Hell no, he's watching a french foreign drama right now.

[EricB]

If Blair would have hit that 3, he would have definitely earned more PT from Pop.


No he would've first slapped DeJuan saying WTF has that been all year, and then gave him more PT.

[EricB]

Brandon Jennings reminds me of a more annoying Stephan Marbury.

[EricB]

Ya know, Dejuan aint half bad with that cross over.

He just doesn't fake out anyone with it :lol

[DPG21920]

Jennings reminds me of "Busy-Bee" from Sunset Park.

[EricB]

Now its getting to the point of the game that I hate, where guys start cherry picking.

Nothing pisses me off worse in an all star or any other kind of game than cherry picking.

Disrespectfull to the game.

[DPG21920]

Pau: "Yeah, I played Blair and I felt him. He is a big guy" :lol

[Spurologist]

According to Kevin Harlan Israel is in Europe......Come again?

[EricB]

LMAO DeJuan turning into Brandon Jennings now

[Juanobili]

Wow just gained a lot of respect for Pau

[TIMMYD!]

Blair with some midrange game. :tu

[EricB]

Pau: "Yeah, I played Blair and I felt him. He is a big guy" :lol


I knew he swung that way but DeJuan?

DAMN.

[EricB]

16 and 15 from DeJuan.

Shit if he keeps scoring the MFer just might win it...

[BanditHiro]

wow 16 points and 15 rebounds

[Dex]

Pau giving Blair tips on his game and telling him to work on going left? Pretty interesting commentary from the bigman.

Almost makes me not hate him quite so much.

[jdev82]

Nate Robinson definately has a future in broadcasting after his career is over.

Which is probobly in 5 years.


wowo didnt you hear? he was so bad they went to a commercial just so they could tell him that they dont want to be his friend, and that he should go away.

[EricB]

According to Kevin Harlan Israel is in Europe......Come again?


Forget it, he's rolling.


AND IT AINT OVER NOW!!!


Sorry, one of my favorite end of game video clips at Spurs games.

[jdev82]

Someone want to tell me why i am pink/how long will this last?

[EricB]

Pau giving Blair tips on his game and telling him to work on going left? Pretty interesting commentary from the bigman.

Almost makes me not hate him quite so much.


He hasn't been in LA long enough for the douchebaggery to rub off on him totally yet.

[Dex]

Someone want to tell me why i am pink/how long will this last?

[EP Money Man]

Wow just gained a lot of respect for Pau

For sure.

I hate when he screams like a girl when he is fouled, and or course I hate him cuz he's on the fakers, but the guy seems classy.

[EricB]

Wow, Kenny EJ and Charles have been together 10 years?

Wow, F U TNT for making me feel REALLY old.

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, man. That Inside the NBA anniversary special is going to be epic.

[EricB]

DeJuan looks tired.

[DPG21920]

Westbrook going to break KD's record?

[lurker23]

@spurs on twitter:

On his way to a 20/20 game. #AS10 RT @payseno: @spurs let's make sure everyone votes for @DeJuan45 for MVP txt "Blair" to 38657

2 minutes ago from Tweetie

[himat]

I don't think Dejuan will get MVP though if rookies win. Tyreke or Jennings will.

[EricB]

Tyreke Evans....

Goddamn he's gonna be at the All Star game next year but playing on sunday...

Sorry. I should of said up to now. Hopefully you guys turn it around.

[Horry For 3!]

Blair better win MVP but there are fans voting so no telling.

[DPG21920]

How is it that everyone on the Rookie team knew to get Blair the ball, but Jennings? He jacks up a dumbass 3 pointer?

[EP Money Man]

I just voted on line for Blizzy like 20 times.

I think they just turned it off.

[Pentagruel]

Man Blair is so fun to watch hehe : )

[EricB]

I know you aren't talking Piston fan.


I'll take mediocre over lottery any day.

[diego]

too bad this game doesnt count for my fantasy team, i needed it!

[Chieflion]

Pop still isn't going to give Blair playing time cause he was stat-padding and not playing any defense.

[TIMMYD!]

Tyreke Evans won MVP, fuck that shit.

[Horry For 3!]

Tyreke Evans MVP.


NBA Fans are the dumbest fans on the face of the planet...

[EP Money Man]

BOOOOOO!!!

Tyreke Evans, shitty.

Classy to share it though.

[Horry For 3!]

At least Evans was smart enough to share it with Blair.

[Come_On_Now]

That's BS, at least make him co-MVP. Damn right you should share that award Reke.

[himat]

Robbed! I thought when all his teammates were jumping around when he made the buzzer beater that he would be the guaranteed MVP. Sorry guys.

[Truckules]

Nice by Evans to share the MVP

[bigdog]

Tyreke wtf?

[EricB]

Allen Iverson Tyreke Evans


Take the voting away from the fucking fans

PLEASE

[BanditHiro]

that is why they should open the polls at the end of the game

[TIMMYD!]

Strike what I said, classy for him to share.

[TPnumber1]

evans is mvp because the votes are closed before the end of the game

[ohmwrecker]

DeJuan Blair got robbed and Tyreke knows it.
