Yeah, I agree. I've been extremely critical of LeBron, but now I must admit, the dude can play ball. And especially being in the Eastern Conference, how the hell could he not make it?

As for Carmelo...just look at his teams' record.

Oh...

Sam Cassell should be starting over Steve Francis and Mike Bibby should have Francis' spot.

You have to remember that the all-star game is about who the fans want to see play, its not about who are the best players in the NBA. Usually the guys that get in are the more exciting player, not necessary the best. Currently, Tim Duncan is probably the best consistant player, but he will never get the leading votes, because he is boring to watch. He's good as heck, but his moves and the way he plays is just plain boring to watch. Power dunkers and high fly acts guys will always get the leading votes.

So Lebron should've been in the All-Stars and maybe Carmello too. But I guess they needed some good rookies in the Rookie All Stars Game.

Sam Cassell should be starting over Steve Francis and Mike Bibby should have Francis' spot.

Again, its about who's more exciting to watch. I think Francis is more exciting player than Cassel and Bibby, although he's not as good.

Yeah, All-Star games suck anyway. Football, hockey, baseball, basketball...it's such a waste of time.

I just saw Ray Allen made the West reserve team. That's the last straw for me. He hasn't played in half of the Sonics' games and Ronald Murray deserves it more than him. It should be about deserving players, especially when they are selected by the freakin coaches. Give the starters to the fans, but the coaches should at least pick players that haven't been injured half the stupid year.

And, yeah, I'm just ****ed because Erick Dampier didn't get selected. Shoot me. He's started all 46 games, averages 12 points a game and 11 rebounds.

Murray over Allen, I don't think so. He played great for the first half of Allens injury but he slumped after that. The only selection that i dislike is Yao. He is just going to be a bench warmer like last year

I don't think Murray SHOULD have been picked, but he DESERVES it more. I don't understand how you can make an All-Star game by playing half your team's games. Rashard Lewis SHOULD have been picked. And it's not like Ray Allen has had All-Star performances since his return.

And I agree with Yao. He starts games for Houston but they have to sub him out 4 minutes in because he gets tired. WTF?? I hope Tracy McGrady or Vince Carter dunk on his head and get him out of the game permanently.

But, as was stated earlier...All-Star games are for who fans WANT to be there not who SHOULD be there. So, my argument is pointless as well.

I hope Flip Saunders put at least FIVE minutes of this linup in the ALL STARS game, the 7 FOOTER LINEUP: SHAQ, DUNCAN, GARNETTE, NOWITZKI, and YAO. Stragegy wise, offense is a no brainer, but defensively, just zone spread all five guys around the paint, put Garnette and Nowitzki to defend the shooters from the east as they can react fast enough to contest the shots. Man it will be a sight to see, it's like playing against GIANTS. :woot:

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
