Vitaly was stiffed. I think we should all throw our support behind the Ukraine Train by boycotting the rest of the playoffs. Who's with me? Aye!

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Can't complain too much.

Would have liked to have seen Kiri get first team, but he's never going to get the recognition he deserves whilst he doesn't talk trash and whilst he's still in Mormon Town.

Would have liked to see Marion get a mention in the 2nd team, and i dont know how Kirra missed out on first. Other than that can't complain.

Tough ask, especially when you consider AK, Artest, KG and Duncan are all forwards, and the Suns' record.

looks like bruce bowens playing dirty tactics have helped him out no complaints for the rest of the teams tho

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

So Kirilenko got into the Allstar game cause of his defence... got Utahs roster (worst in NBA) to 42-40 through his defence.. and he cant get into the first team???

Kirilenko is a much better defender than Bowen, plus Kirilenko can guard any player on the floor and shut him down.

Next you'll be telling me Alexander Pavlovic is the next MJ.

Watch a Spurs game. Watch what Bowen does to Kobe in the upcoming series.

I rate AK47, but sheesh.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

I admit Bowen for some reason does amazing on Kobe... but Kirilenko can change a whole game on his defence... aka Big Ben.

Ruben Patterson once upon a time was also the 'Kobe killer'

I dont like neither Bowen or Kirilenko.

P.S Do you know where I can find that dunk from last year when Vince posterized Duncan?? I cant find it anywhere...the most sickest, filthiest dunk of recent memory.

Cant complain...apart from maybe Bryant. With Artest or Bowen you get shut down...simple. You dont score much, you take bad shots, you generally play crap. Kobe is a great defender but only when he feels like it. Never consistently does it.

Still AK isnt a guard and Kidd wasnt that good this year so nobody can really take his place.

Big Theo led the league in blocks.

Never seen Gerald Wallace on Nachbar?

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Yes I have... im still certain that wasnt real...and Gerald was hanging by a rope from the roof.

But seeing Vince dunk allover Tim Duncan was pretty special
