[Ridders]

My picks;

*Durant to repeat in HORSE.
*My boy Gallinari is going all the way in the 3-point shoot-out
*D-Will to take out skills challenge
* I'm going with Shannon Brown to take the Dunk contest, even though he's probably a better in game dunker than he would be in a dunk contest
*Sophs to smash the rookies; as always. Lopez for MVP
* Western all-stars to take a comfortable victory over the East. Melo for MVP

 

[Ridders]

Lots of forwards in the West starting lineup.

Celebrity game coming up.

Mark Cuban's playing. I'm excited.

 

[Ridders]

Rookies are balling atm. Up 42-37.

 

[Ridders]

Blair with 22 points and 23 rebounds. MVP right there.

got on the rooks at $8

 

[mortz]

derozan should win the dunk comp, he has insane hops

 

[mortz]

how did evans get mvp...?

 

[Ridders]

Yeah Blair was robbed. Damn the fan vote.

 

[mortz]

robbed massively, evans only got it coz he started out real well

 

[Ridders]

As for your boy DeRozan, gotta say he wasn't too impressive in the dunk-in. If it hadn't of taken Gordon so many attempts to make his first dunk DeMar might not even be there.

Then again it's possible that after seeing Gordon's first dunk, DeMar probably felt he could just mail in the 2nd dunk and not give too much away.

I dont think we saw the best of Derozan in the dunk in, he was saving some for the main show. Looking forward to all star weekend today, hopefully the dunk comp is good and Shanwow can get the win.

 

[Ridders]

Still bummed out that Lebron isn't in it.

Kobe's wearing sunnies inside........what a dick.

Always chuckle at Jennings' hair.

Screw you.

Jennings hair does look funny though.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Are you his mother?

 

[Ridders]

The world would be a better place if we could all just love and not hate.

 

[Ridders]

Curry looks good in the 3-point contest.
