    Spurs and Thunder are both in the 8 in the West mate....


    Budinger isn't all that good a player - that's why he isn't there. ALL the players selected are clearly better than him this season, and there's guys not selected who would be ahead of him anyway.

    Because as soon as DD jumped on the band wagon and started hyping him up, he started to slump.

    That and a lack of exposure. With no Yao and Tracy nobody around the NBA really seems to care about watching the team. So therefore nobody besides our fans have even heard of Chase.

    We have definetly over-valued him. I, personally, have said he's not that great yet, despite some of the comments people have made: "future all-star", "excellent player", etc. Maybe in the future, but not now.

    You mean the the teams that get lottery picks wind up with the most representation in a Rookie/Sophomore game? Shocking!

    P.S. Budinger doesn't deserve to be there.

    I was very impressed with him up front, but he has been "sucking" of late. He has gone from "sharpshooter" to Rafer-like.

    Bingo.

    He is good for being a second rounder, but the Budinger bandwagon led by you know who overvalues him a tad much...

    The only rocket to go to Dallas was Clutch the bear. He was doing his thing during the rookie game. I hope some of you noticed cuz it was funny... As for chase not making the team, I don't know. But he is for sure way better than that dude from the pistons.

    He was just never the same after the injury. Before the injury you could argue that PERHAPS he should have been invited. But afterwards he was simply a mediocre player on a lottery bound team.

    I am so dissapointed at the Rockets right now... It would have almost been better if they had not played well until December.
