Manny Goes Boom

Well this is rapidly approaching and if this years is anything like last years...I'm excited. With the Phoenix reps winning 3 of 4 on Saturday night...left a great mark on last years ASG for us in Phoenix. Steve, Shawn, and Amare all being All-Stars last year helped too. The Game itself was a good one, and the Rookie Sophmore game last year was cool too. (Although this year's might not be as main event style with LeBron, Wade, and Melo all in it but it should be a good one.) This year will be fun, and it feels kinda weird that KG isn't starting (to me anyway), but I'm sure he will be a reserve. But of course as there is every year, people get snubbed. Elton Brand is a prime candidate who gets snubbed and who deserves it, and I think this year he will be there, due to his teams success. What does everyone think? OH, and does anyone know where I can find a list of the next few ASG's? Because I'm wondering when it will come back here.

OH. Was that run by Noah? He was here for a little while when I first came on, and like fell off the planet afterwards.

That's the bane (one of them at least) of Yeszir's existence. I doubt it.

Scalabrine must fit Ainge's brain typing.

Pure comedy...this WHOLE thread. Fights on Feburary 2nd. LMAO. Anyway, this is 15 pages of speculation. "I have a FEELIING that Curt won't be what everyone says he will be..." (I'll throw my own speculation in ) RJ has no cartlitage (thats a fact, he had like none his last year here in AZ) in his knee, and he is injury prone and old (another fact ). Look unless we have a DeLorean that goes into the future and we can see what will happen, nobody knows. I mean hell, Curt and Randy could both win 30 games and share the Cy Young (LMAO, the reason they split up...shared glory ) or they could both have possible career ending (and OBVIOUSLY season ending injuries and the Yanks and Sox could both BLOW ass and neither one make the playoffs. But anyway, this all sounds too familar (my opinions here, again speculation but I wanna join in) Yanks will have a great offense, pitching is supposed to be good. We will have to wait and see, but like stated above, the Yanks offense seems more of a sure bet (if there ever was such a thing) than the pitching. Oh, and even though he left us, JD is still a top 5 or even top 3 leadoff hitter. Just because he's a Yankee doesn't mean he all of a sudden blows. Just last year we were all calling him the best leadoff hitter in the game, now hes not? Granted, 3 years down the road he doesnt look like he will be, but thats all in the air and how he takes care of himself, and how he handles the NY experience. But as for our lineup, as long as the big two keep on truckin' I see us having little problems offensively. "Manny and Ortiz may be good but not as good as they've been" (not a direct quote but its basically what they said) How the hell does anyone know that? And what do you have to prove that they WONT be? And along those lines, Rivernator said COUNTLESS times that Schilling was healthy for a stretch through last year...how is it that you know? Are you Curt Schilling? Are you his wife...are you his ankle...how the hell do you know that? You DONT. Since this thread is huge as f*** and I missed the WHOLE thing until now I wanna adress the things that bugged me. In 2001, the Diamondbacks were built to win. They OWNED the Yankees, BK Kim's inability to pitch coupled with Brenley's being to loyal blew the two games in NY. Game one Mussina got jackstomped, same with Petitte in game 2 (I remember a HILARIOUS picture in the papers here, with Pettite leaving the mound with his head in his glove, ). Oh, and to game 7, Luck...LMFAO. Grace started the whole thing with a walk (luck...a pitcher who couldn't find the zone...luck huh...). Delucci (I THINK) pinch ran for him...(LMAO sounds familar). Then Jay Bell singled (Luck seems to happen alot in Arizona...how come I'm not a millionaire then?), and then came Tony Womack. He DOUBLED down the right field line, HARD. One run scored, and that tied it. Womack celebrates and kisses to the sky to honor his father. Another walk, to Sanders I think, (gosh its been awhile), theres that luck again...and Gonzo came up. Hits the ball which leads to Greg Schulte's EPIC call (at least for people in AZ) "...a little blooper to center...BASE HIT!!! Diamondbacks win! They've done it...their the World Champions!!!" Anyway...if that ALL is luck then I'm Donald Trump. Sry had to get that off my chest. Umm, I think thats all. Gosh its gonna be great, I can feel it already.

Not after this year

Well they ARE 24-21...LOL. No, they would suck horribly without him, but what do you call what they are doing right now...playing well?

I'd rather see him get it than Kobe, and no question about it, LeBrons numbers are great and his teams very good too.

I love how one guy wrote...

LMAO, what a moron. The Clippers aren't a bad team...hahahaha. IMO neither are the Nets.

Oh, word.

No ESPN for you? I know Schill...I couldn't resist.

He'll get ROY, but MVP they most likely won't give him. The current MVP is a good choice to repeat IMO, But as much as I hate him, Kobe will get it.

You know those sportswriters are going to give it to Kobe. All giddy over his 81 points. It's a joke because they probably won't make the playoffs.

Unless your watching the Lakers or the Pistons, then I get annoyed because all they talk about is Kobe or the Pistons this and that. Its gets old, and boring. I'd rather have our guys, Eddie Johnson, Tom Leander, and Dan Majerle (he does the home games for FSN Arizona.) do games too.

YUP. I remember that game...and that series...EPIC. 7 gamer correct? Yup, I remember 'Toine, screming at the whole team, EVEN Pierce. NBA on NBC should return, I hate this ABC garbage, and ESPN sucks (except when Bill Walton is doing a game, hes hilarious IMO "and the legend from UCLA..." about any random UCLA player in the NBA, even if hes a bench warmer ).

Yeah dude. I went to opening night this year against the Mavericks, and I got sick the next day or so because I was going bananas. That game was probably the best game I've been to and we lost, go figure. Although, the women walking around USAC (U.S. Airways Center) are very beautiful, thats Arizona for ya! And I ate at the Lexus Club which was SO money. Speaking of tickets...I gotta go get some...

HAHAHAHA. I remember that team, Walker and Pierce were 1 & 2 in 3PT attempts per weren't they? Thats Nash's game, penetrate and kick and thats where the three bombs come in handy, and THATS why I would ABSOLUTELY die if the Suns could somehow get their hands on JJ Redick.

Good...not over, no way but thats a good score to hear.

What's the score...

Yeah, me too...I don't think I ever come home from a game without losing my voice and having a splitting headache.

Anyone who holds the Suns under like 20 points in ANY quarter, plays AT WORST decent defense. I agree YH, we hit a f*** load of threes, but thats our forte, the three ball. Thats why we signed James Jones and one of the reasons we signed Raja Bell.

NO. Don't plan on it either, I root for too many teams that make my heart race after the game. If this keeps up, I'm gonna die by 50.

Whew... Glad thats done. I think I'm gonna sit out watching the Duke game, due to a possible heart-attack. Man we shot it like s*** in the third quarter, 5/24...that's NOT Suns basketball. Gotta hand it to Ol' Paulie, put the Celts on his back and he ran with em. Man, our problem is stopping two guards. Ray Allen, LeBron, Paul, Carmelo (hes a three I know) everyone who is a decent 2 guard, or 3 seem to have fun playing the Suns. I was SCREAMING at the TV tonight because a couple of times he had way to open looks at the hoop.

Oh, that was a dark time in Phoenix last year. When he got hurt in Indiana.
