Ok, off topic a bit, but Joe Johnson an all-star? Anybody else think that if a Hawk deserved to be there it should've been Josh Smith? The guy's a monster, and still only 22. We just beat the Lakers and Smith had 17 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals. It's not even unusual for him. The other night against the Sixers he had 19 points, 9 assists, 9 blocks (!!!), 6 rebounds and 4 steals. That's really filling up the box score!

Maybe next year.

Probably won't even get defensive player of the year honours as they'll give it to Camby, but Smith is second in blocks and top ten in steals. Nobody else is close to what he's doing defensively.

No offense to JJ and J-Smoove but Ray Allen should have been an all-star over both of them. How can you send just 2 of the big three to New Orleans? Ray Allen is just as important. Last season, 3 Suns went and the season before that, 4 Detroit Pistons went, all with similar records the Celts have this season. Not to mention, Ray was better then their 3rd men that season (Shawn Marion and Rip Hamilton and Rasheed Walace...)

I agree with you absolutely, but being a Hawk fan I preferred to phrase it like 'if a Hawk is gonna go'.

Thanks. It's way better this year than the last few though. We're actually better than nearly half the teams in the league. Shame us going over .500 only lasted for 3 or 4 games.

Still, should finish at least 6th or 7th in the East and make the playoffs. That'll be progress at least. The team is quite young, after all.

This is a ballsy move by the Suns. Yes, Marion wanted out, but does Phoenix really want to be stuck with Shaq's contract? Time will tell...
