Thanks for the cliffs. Can I ask why everyone is spelling it 'LeBrone'?

Herald Sun dubbed him LeBrone James in an article a week or so ago.

That is how the Herald Sun spelt his name.

THE powder is set to fly when superstar LeBrone James returns to Cleveland with the Miami Heat to play his former team the Cavaliers.

Hahaha that is fantastic! I will have a read through that thread too. 9 pager for a single game!

imagine blake and love going mano-a-mano!!! BF would go into meltdown of epic proportions. the collective chubbies would suck the air out of the atmosphere and chiefs chickens wouldn't be able to cope.

Who is more worthy of an all-star spot at this point? Kevin Love or Blake Griffin. Both have all-star type numbers but their teams have miserable records. Given how stacked the west is, it is more than likely that only one or neither will make it

i reckon they'd go with love.

At C/F there'll only be 6 spots. Gasman, Dirkster, Durantula and Melo are locks you'd think. Odom should really make it as well. So that leaves one spot between Gay, West, Millsap, Randolph, Gasman Junior etc...don't think the coaches will give it to Love no matter how well he's playing if they have other options from winning teams.

Guards will be even tougher: Manu, Frenchie, Darren, CP3, KoMe, Westbrook and Steve. At least one has to miss. Not to mention Eric Gordon or Monta Ellis. Tough gig for the coaches.

Nene with his play of late as a C? (Not saying he should be on it just if he does play like this likely mention worthy as a legit C.)

inb4 rebounding.

Haven't watched enough Nuggets games this year tbh, but I've always liked Nene and his numbers seem solid. I forgot Duncan earlier though, so really that's another spot gone (coaches will not leave him off considering the Spurs' record).

Early guess at East while I'm here:

Howard/Garnett/James/Wade/Rose
Horford/Amare/Pierce/Felton/Rondo
Bogut/Noah

I get the feeling that Bosh will cheat Bogut out of his spot though.

 

[sblack]

I reckon NY population will get Amare in over Garnett.

Thought Amare might have been listed at C on the ballot. If not, then yeah, would probably switch those 2 around.

 

[Westy Bogan]

All star game will miss Blake.

He could make it exciting BUT they will play him in the rookie game

 

[Richard Cranium]

lolwut? He's putting up 12/7 on a sub-.500 team. How would he even come into consideration for All-star honours?

 

[aaronm46]

any danger mods?

Best +/- player in the NBA so far (ie player who's points differential is the greatest when he is on the court) IS:








Chris Bosh

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News cites a person in Anthony's camp in reporting that the Bulls continue to be "a viable option" and the Nets are not out of the running.

If the Bulls got him they would be a real force in the League.

there should be a disclaimer for those stats. player must actively contribute whilst on court. could send a witches hat out with lebrone and wade and it would get a big + diff.
