That's right NBA, keep kicking us while we're down

And replacing injured guard Brandon Roy in the NBA all-star game will be:

Yes, folks, you read that right. A GUARD goes down, and the NBA has the gall to spit on Houston's face YET AGAIN. Keep spitting folks, keep kicking us while we're down. Ok, maybe he didn't initially deserve to be in this years game, but with all the injuies, how can Aaron Brooks NOT be in Dallas? How ironic and funny is it that the Rockets are the ONLY WINNING TEAM without ANY representation at this years game.

Nobody made the Frosh/Soph game

Nobody will play on Saturday night at any of the skills competitions

Nobody will partake in the action in the Sunday night exhibition

Wow, way to kick us when we're down folks. For that I hope we sneak into the playoffs and put an end to those thoughts of awesome grandeur starring LeBron and Kobe. Heck, how about we just be the team that ENDS the Laker's season.

I'm hopping mad right now. I hope AB goes for 40 tomorrow night against the Heat in Miami. Thoughts?

Edit: Ok, I did some other reading, and where in the world are people getting this thought that Roy's replacement should be a forward or center? Why? You lose a GUARD, you replace him with another GUARD. Duh! Yes, Carlos Boozer and Andrew Bynum (and to a lesser extend our boy Carl Landry) are all having great seasons, well...better than Kaman. But still, this should be Aaron Brook's spot. Man, the NBA royally goofed this time.

That IS ridiculous

I didn’t realize we were the ONLY winning team without any representation, screw David Stern and his reign of tyranny

To be fair:

There are 4 “healthy” guards playing for the West, and no true centers other than Kaman. Yeah, not having representation sucks, but if it’s just Kaman vs. Brooks they both had marginally deserving seasons. Frankly, if you’re going to take a good player from a losing team (a la Kaman) then I think Warriors fans have more reason to be upset than we do.

Crying doesn’t change anything. The Rockets don’t so why should you?

I’m not one to get passionate on a forum board but I’m tired of hearing about this.

ab 4 all star

its just because he BITCHED about how he is BETTER than gasol or bynum
so they felt sorry 4 him. so they put him in there this year.
guard goes down. guard 2 fill in. not a damn center.

Carl Landry, based on his advanced stats, is worthy of a place in the ASG.

They needed a center, and Kaman is that. He’s having a pretty good year. Whatever, I’d honestly rather have the team get rest and maybe some practice in.

Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
