Where did you read that they rejected it? And when are they picking the teams? Tonight on NBA TV?

Didn't read it, assumed that since they announced Lin to be participating in another event and that proposal was made specifically to allow Lin to play they wouldn't double book him like that, especially this season. And yes, tonight, on TNT before the Bulls vs. Celtics game, 2 out of 3 of the selection shows were for Bulls games for those of you keeping score out there.

[punjabi212]

Oh alright. I'll probably watch it.

[punjabi212]

It's on NBA TV.

Commisioner Kenny Smith got it done. Lin is eligible to be picked.

I thought Chuck would pick the better team but I think Shaq's team is better.

Chuck definitely won, Cousins, Haywood, Derrick Williams, Paul George, they will dominate the paint so hard. Shaq's team is jump shooters and Blake Griffin for the most part.

[punjabi212]

Haywood dominating the paint? Lmao

Cousins is a joke. No ones gonna want to play with him lol.

[Paco]

Shaq!

[davebu]

Haywood dominating the paint? Lmao

Cousins is a joke. No ones gonna want to play with him lol.

Haywood is a damn good slasher.

Cousins dominated the game last year, hes talented as hell, has attitude problems, but that wont affect a game like this.

He may be a slasher but he won't dominate. Screw the debating, let's just enjoy the game. Not like the players are going to be trying anyways.

"i don't always start NBA games. But when I do, I never lose. The most LINteresting man in the world." I thought this was a good one.

Lol, true true, but one more thing, of course they wont be trying and Chuck's got more flashy players who can take advantage of easy defense. Shaq's team has more finesse players.

On another note, wtf is with the officiating, not only in this Bulls Celtics game, but all season. Its horrible, seriously. Wilcox steps on the line and they don't call it out, Rondo puts his own back and they miss a 24 sec call (they reversed that at the next dead ball, thankfully). probably a makeup call on a block foul against Wilcox on the other end of the floor. And thats all within the first half of the first quarter. If only Cuban was watching.

Refs have a hard scheule due to the shortend season as well. That's why they're extra sloppy this year.

I want Shaq's team to win because of my boy Lin lol. I''m glad Shaq took Fields for obvious reasons.
