I'm happy for Ray, but I just don't think this is right.

Everything being equal, the Cavs should be represented by more than one player.

Another way to look at it: the Celtics are who they were last year, the Cavs went from a very, very good team without Mo Williams, to an elite team with him.
 

Like I said earlier, you could make a case for Ray Allen, but I do think Mo Williams and the Cavs will be steaming over this snub.

The 3 top teams in the East are Boston, Cleveland and the Magic. Both the Magic and Celtics have 3 All-Star selections, while the Cavs only 1?!

How does a team with a winning percentage of .813 have only one player in the All-Star game? Is there a logical explanation for this? Has this ever happened before?

THIS is exactly what I'm afraid of.

What better rallying cry than that!

I have to admit, I'd be miffed if the Celtics had a 39-9 record and only one All-Star!

Yup. This may not be a bad thing after all.

BTW, Mo Williams was interviewed last week when he was snubbed originally by Jameer Nelson. Mo was noticeably pissed and said he was upset with the snub, but said that nothing surprises him anymore.

Like you said, Mo has been the #1 reason why this team is looking so in-sync this year. He is the final piece that we so long strived for. Anyone who has seen several Cavs games this year should have been able to recognize the impact Mo has had on this team.

Oh well. Another motivation tool I guess.
 
Bill always got a kick out of me making fun of the Mariners and Nationals.

I wonder what he'll think about my merciless bashing of the Kings, Wizards, and Thunder.

It's only 12 degrees in Western RI, but this Lakers-Celtics game makes it feel like Spring!

HOW??!! Because he got injured? Injuries happen dude...part of being a professional athlete. IF he had pulled a Bullsh!t stunt like destroy his body to due a motorcycle accident after signing a big contract...then I would agree with your comments completely...but a playing injury....?:rolleyes:
