First Round of All Star Balloting Results

Tim is going to play about 10-15 mins in the game. I doubt that fatigue will cause troubles for the rest of the season.

Injuries are different; one can say, we don't want our allstar playing because he might get injured (or is injured), but its ludicrous to say, playing 20 mins in the allstar (similar to a practice scrimmage) is going to hurt duncan's rest.

That would be great. I can only see one of our backcourt duo guys making it, but it would be awesome if they both did. You never know though. Things happen, like T-Mac and his back. Kobe and his ankle. People get injured. There is a chance. There's no way the coaches are gonna vote in Terry.

Okur and Boozer deserve the all-star game treatment this year.

Yes, chemistry is very important in All-Star games. So is defense.

he does a damn good impression of a plane though. man, he's good at that.

Every year people blame the Chinese people for stuffing the online ballot boxes for Yao Ming via the internet. But in actuality for a few years Yao has been winning by the paper ballots at the arenas, not by the web ballots.

For example ..

In fact, for the 2004 All-Star Game, the year in which Yao won the starting spot by the smallest margin in his career, he actually received around 4,000 fewer online votes than his rival, Shaquille O'Neal. Yao managed to make up for this by outvoting O'Neal in paper balloting. These paper ballots were handed out in NBA arenas and shopping malls in the United States and Chinese fans were unable to vote on them. Thanks to paper balloting, Yao went on to finish ahead of O'Neal that year by a margin of 29,000 votes overall.

Imported paper ballots from Chinese sweatshops.

Who invented paper?
