    Do you want him to sit out the all star game to rest his knee?

    No and Yes.

    Perhaps all-star game is the source of the curse?

    He's day-to-day, and the knee may not even be an issue a week from now.

    He should play the first 5 minutes, then sit the rest of the game.

    No, he won't play too much anyway. Plus, I'd like to watch him put up a couple 3's again :cool: :p

    there's nothing he could do about to sit out or not unless he's badly injured.

    I'd like him get on court and stay away from body touch.

    maybe just shooting 3 will be good. :D

    I don't think Yao will play that much in the AllStar game since it will be in Phoenix and Shaq will get most the minutes to get him the MVP for the game.

    Don't think the Suns are doing particularly too well with J-Rich.

    They traded away their role player and better defensive player for a very offensively minded player, but they also fired a very offensively minded coach for another coach less capabable on offense.

    Suns are in a mess, why not just keep D'Antoni if they were getting J'Rich. Don't Suns have a base plan to anything?

    He should sit out the game, remember last year he went out after the game. He played one game against the Bulls if i remember correctly.

    Jrich would be the 3rd option on this team unlike in Phoenix where he's the 4th option and yes it does make a difference. He can add some much needed athleticism to the roster

    I still like him to start the game but don't want see him more than 10 minutes.

    You have to understand, it is a honor to be a starter of ASG.

    at the risk of tweaking his kneee again? Also keep in mind, Amare is gonna be guarding Lebron so its more than likely Lebron's gonna take it to the hoop right where Yao is

    Sure I do. Personally, I'd rather no Rockets play in the ASG. Look at the overall health of this team and our big three. They need all the rest and recuparation they can handle. Winning in the first round of the playoffs is more important than individual honors.

    Things can go wrong in a game, I hope he doesnt play much but ofcourse its considered an "Honor" to play in the game so he should respect the fans by playing in the game for a while.
