All Star Game

Hey all,
How rediculous is the NBA and the lack of respedct to the Detroit Pistons. It really isn't only the NBA, but rayther sports media in general. How is it that a team as good as the Pistons can be shown such disrespect and be trashed as much as they are. If any other team in the league was playing half as good as the Pistons are right now, they would be placed on the highest of pedistals. What's wrong, nobody likes it when guys just come out and work hard every night? It always has to be about the finesse and the Hollywood crap?
I have been searching all night to try to find out the full rosters for the All Star game in Houston later this month. Right now only the starters are finite, but the reserves are yet to be anounced. Some writers and experts are saying that both Rip and Chauncey should be the backups and others leave Rip out of the running. Listen to what we are talking about people!! We are discussing whether the BEST backcourt in all of basketball is worthy of playing in the All Star game. Are people completely out of their mind. This simply proves tha the balloting is a popularity contest and not based on the best players.
I admit it, Kobe and Nash are deserving of their honors. But, do we really think that Wade and Iverson come out every night and play as hard and carry their team every night like Rip and Mr. Big Shot? Since voting has been allowed on the internet is it any wonder that Yao gets the most votes? HELLO!!!!! China has the most people anywhere. I think the league and the fans owe the Pistons and its starting five an apology. Flip is already coaching - in my opinion, we should have a game of All Stars against the Pistons; is there any question who would win?

You can't blame the NBA -- It's the fans who vote for starters, and everyone knows it's a popularity contest, there have been seasons when a guy was injured all season and goit voted in. The NBA will probably choose 'Sheed to replace Jermaine O'neal as a starter, and Chauncey and Rip will probably get in as reserves.

You are right Shu, I take it back, the NBA isn't bad but the fans suck. I mean how stupid are they? We all know that the Pistons starting five should be playing all 48 minutes of the All Star game.
