		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm . 

Bynum has played three games this season and now you want him as an all-star ?  Please .  

You want Lowrey and Byrant over CP3 ?  Have you watched any Clipper games this year ? 

You got Durant right , but next is Love  , . This is the future of the NBA at the forward position with Blake Griffin a close third . Lamarcus Aldridge  doesn&#039;t belong on the team &quot; because Portland deserves recognition . &quot; How uncompelling is that ?  I don&#039;t want to say stupid that would be inpolite . 

West First Team 
G CP3 ...Kobe  
F Love....Durant 
C  Tim Duncan]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like to give Love a little bit more time to see if there is a reversion to the mean.  However, if this numbers represent his new mean then by all means (sorry) he should be a starter and at the very least considered for MVP.  Based on last year though (and b/c of the small sample this year) I tend to give Aldridge and Z-Bo the nod simply because they had numbers and led teams into the playoffs.  Even if he does revert back to more earthly numbers K-Love has still got to get the Wolves to the playoffs.  No more of this rebuidling or next year stuff.

		<description><![CDATA[Kurt!  I &lt;3 you!  I&#039;ve been singing the same refrain for the last 10 years...&quot;Tim Duncan is a center.&quot;  I could care less what Pop puts on the lineup card.  The man is 7&#039;1&quot; 275 lbs and other than his 15 foot bank shot there is nothing at all about his game that said power forward.  Nothing incenses me more than to hear Charlie Barkley call him &quot;the best power forward in the game.&quot;  Just because he played his earlier years with another center doesn&#039;t mean he was a 4.  It&#039;s quite possible that the Spurs started two centers.
