![]() I think its ridiculous that Melo and Howard didn't make it. Whatever though, I don't really care.

Also, the first game was a long time ago, when both teams weren't playing "great" basketball. It was still close, 119-112, the second game was even closer in Dallas, 101-99. It isn't exactly like the Mavs killed the Suns in both games. Last edited by TheChamp24; 02-02-2007 at 02:38 AM.. |

The team that Dallas beat twice this season is the same one playing now. Suns fans seem to think that they can rationalize those losses by throwing out that qualifier, when in actuality, Dallas is up a half-game in the standings and has a 2-0 lead on the tiebreaker, with a win already taken on Phoenix.' home court. Dallas is already 2/3 of the way to tiebreaker advantage. The Suns have a nearly impossible job in beating the Mavs both in the regular season and in the playoffs. |

![]() For replacements I think it has to be between Melo, Randolph, Brand and Okur.
Personally I hope Okur makes it. He has had a great season, especially considering how well Boozer has played. He is on one of the top 5 teams in the NBA as well. He has also been possibly the most clutch player in the NBA this season. He showed that Wednesday against the Spurs. He has come up HUGE in the 4th quarter time and again this season. I know I am a Jazz Homer, but this guy deserves it as much as anyone else. He is scoring almost 18 points a game and has both Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams on his team that both score a lot. He is easily the best Center (term used loosely) this year that is not on the all-star team. Theres my rant for the day |

![]() We will see in the playoffs llama is all i can say.
You say we havent gained seperation from you? We can say the same for the MAvs. 0-2 vs. the Mavs this year, big deal, both were close games, and not in the playoffs when it counts. Im still not sure if we can beat the Mavs or Spurs in a 7 game series, but dont act like it cant happen, caz this Suns team is very good, and they are slowly adding more player from the bench onto the floor for some minutes. |

![]() If it's not totally apparent - there are 2 things that cannot be disputed.
1) The Allstar game is a joke, nothing more then a glorified exhibition game where fans and 20 million chinese determine who plays in the game. I don't even watch that crap. Nothing but players just throwing up lob after lob. Pretty damn boring actually. 2) angryllama won't stop telling everybody how great the Mavs are. I swear, you would think they were better then the Jordan Bulls of the 90's the way he goes on and on and on and on. I could see 4 teams from the west that could win it (Suns, Spurs, Mavs and Jazz). If you count anyone of those teams out, you're a fool. |

![]() I am not arguing that there aren't other good centers in the league. Okur is more like a power forward than a center, but he does play the center. I just said that he has played well enough (at least offensively, which is what All-stars usually do) to be a possible replacement. He has come up big at big times to win games. As a Jazz fan, I have seen him play, so why is it so bad that I back him up? I'm not the only person that has said that he could be an all-star this year. To say that you'd rather have other people that play defense is understandable, and I partially agree with that. I would love to have a center that is a great defender. But that doesn't mean that Okur hasn't been good this year, it just means you prefer other players that are good. I'd much rather have a player like Raja Bell on the Jazz than Kobe Bryant, but that doesn't mean that Raja Bell is better than Kobe. I am just saying that Okur deserves a look as a replacement, and I hope he gets in. You can agree with me or not. It's as simple as that.

As such, you can get a situation where by raw numbers more guards get taken than forwards, even though coaches picked forwards as their "wild cards". |

![]() Mehmet Okur and Ray Allen to replace Nash and Iversen for the all-star game! At least one Jazz player will be there to represent. Would be nice to have Deron Williams there too, he could have been there too.

Our team doesnt run the same, and the offense as a whole looks bad. Defensively they are still the same, maybe a little worse. |

![]() Thats why I thought Deron Williams would make the team. There is no true point guard on the West other than Parker. I am just glad a Jazz player made it though.

![]() As a Jazz fan myself I thought Williams should of made it but Okur is deserving too. He has hit at least 6 game winning or tying shots this year in the last minute. He has been clutch. I thought Williams would replace Nash for the same reason you listed above.
