Kidd to potentially miss all star game

[acisking]

Jason Kidd has a strained lower back and will miss the next two games and possibly the All-Star game.

Good lord, are there going to be ANY point gaurds in this year's game? I can't even think of a decent replacement for J-Kidd. In both conferences, looks like we won't see too much lob throwing this year.

just a bad fantasy year for my teams

yea really so many players out because of injuries. i think Joe Johnson or Redd will replace him.

Ben Gordon is the obvious pick. The Bulls should have an all-star.

Ben Gordon is the obvious pick.

Over Chauncey? Or is Billups already on the team?

 

[Kstat]

Billups and Rip were both selected by the coaches.

Ahh, OK. I remember Hamilton but for some reason forgot Billups. Thanks.

I just don't see who is going to throw good lobs on either side.

 

[ImAKing]

Joe Johnson was chosen to replace Kidd

 

[Dime Dropper]

He probably deserved it.

Ben Gordon is the obvious pick. The Bulls should have an all-star.

If there was an all-star from the Bulls, the obvious choice would be Luol Deng.
His numbers are almost identical to Josh Howard's except that Luol has a significantly better shooting percentage.
