Rondo in by the crowd. Dunno about the rest, though Ray might get some loving with the way he's been on fire.

I found it funny that Bass was nominated and Big Baby wasn't.

Unfortunately I couldn't vote for him but nice to see him on the ballot. Stiemsma was my write-in vote

If Bass becomes an all-star...Otis is gone.

[GrandTheftRondo]

If Bass becomes an all-star...Otis is gone.

I forgot about the reserves...he could very well become an all-star this season.

Otis is gone no  matter what. Losing Shaq and DH is enough to leave a man unemployed.

No Pass Bass keeps this streak up his name might certainly be mentioned in All - Star conversation.

I think Rondo, Pierce and KG makes it but Ray Ray might/not make the cut this year

I think Rondo, Pierce and KG makes it but Ray Ray might/not make the cut this year

what makes you so sure that paul can make it this year with Melo and Lebron in the conference now?

what makes you so sure that paul can make it this year with Melo and Lebron in the conference now?

...because the coaches will vote him in.

its just a feeling, no idea why i feel that way though =\. It'll be cool if all 4 makes it again but I don't see that happening again, either Paul or Ray will make it but not both
