First of all, it's really whack that David Stern is picking the replacements for Hill and Mourning...Larry Brown is picking every reserve, so why not let him pick a couple of starters? Well, as much as I risk getting flamed, I think that Latrell Sprewell should be starting at small forward...As well as being one of the best one-on-one defender in the league, he's having a good season offensively (17 ppg) As for Center...ummm....well....hold on.................geez...ARE there any other centers in the East?? I guess it's Theo Ratliff be process of elimination...I think he's averaging about four blocks per game... It's weird, though...my two picks for replacement starters, in a game that never features anything close to defense, are defensive specialists... Anybody got their picks? ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
All the coaches select reserves, not just the all-star coach. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
It's the all-Star game, technically they don't NEED a backup center. I think Spewell AND Robinson should get in... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
But Ratliff will probably get in because of Philly's record... ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
