why duncan is way better
T-Mac and KG are obviously more popular than Tim (sadly). On a selfish standpoint I'd love to see a lot of him in the All Star Game but that's probably not going to happen.
And wtf is up w/ Yoa getting voted over Camby?! Camby is better and more fun to watch. Damn you China!!!
People in Poteet need to step up and vote!!!
How does Amare have more votes than Shawn Marion???
how do you explain that one...
Most fans are idiots.
Seriously....
Duncan will be starting. Anyone who says different is wrong.
You can't NOT start him. No coach in his right mind... ugh.
because it comprises everything since last ASG till this one, and Manu played very well in the Finals
Nevermind.
I dont give a about the ASG and as I remembered, neither does San Antonio. Rings are more fun.
i agree.
how could anyone think Tmac & KG win over SHaq & AI?
forgive me but Yao ALWAYS sucks on All-Star games. Always.
The West will lose again and it's okay with me if Tim doesn't play at all.
Please, please don't have any Spurs players in the ASG, that way, the Spurs players can get extra rest, and there would be absolutely no reason for me to watch a game devoid of meaning and defense, so that I can save a weekend to do my chores.
i'm gonna be pissed if tony doesn't make the all-star team this year. he truly deserves it
^ Yeah he does... But the ring's what it's all about.. not ASG!
ahem "the waterboy" coach
Do players really get tired when playing on the ASG?
I personally don't think so.
I agree.... they get too caught up with the festivities to have room for getting tired.
Yao is a great center and he's Asian!!!
Yao may be a great Asian center, but he's an excuse for an NBA center.
don't you mean Oriental?
Or maybe they have to share minutes with everyone and they try 10 times harder in regular games.
<---------Ahem**
But do you really think Tony wants to be in the Skills Compe ion again?
I'm a fan from the Phils, an Asian, but I don't think Yao is great.
he's just a product of too much hype...and maybe bec he is 7'6". Some people are trying to mold him into some he's not supposed to be(yet?)-a great player or another legend outside the U.S. but he is not that great.
some thought Duncan is stoic and boring(), but i think if there is one player in the NBA who i find boring to watch-he is Yao Ming.
Did anyone catch what the guys said on TNT, only heard the first part where they said the fans had screwed up again, and that they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Just wondering if they said anything what oddities they pointed out, especially if the mentioned Duncan being the third forward.

Tim's so close on the latest results that I think he'll pass Garnett. He's usually behind in the first couple rounds of ballot counts.
