February 2, 200719 yr Anthony left off All-Star reserves; A.I., three Suns picked http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/9968972 The NBA's leading scorer was not among the seven reserves announced Thursday night for the Western Conference team that will play in the NBA All-Star game. Earlier Thursday, Anthony said he hoped his suspension wouldn't prevent him from earning his first All-Star spot. "I hope no one holds that over my head over anything," he said. "Things happen. One incident like that is held over one person's head, life ain't fair. "I did my punishment. I could've easily kept my name out there by appealing it and doing other stuff about it, but I just did my 15 games suspension and hopefully put that behind us." Anthony still has a chance to play in Las Vegas. NBA commissioner David Stern will choose a replacement for Yao, who is still recovering from a broken bone under his knee, and Boozer also could be unavailable because of a hairline fracture in his left leg. Anthony and Josh Howard are the most likely replacement choices, but could face competition for those spots from Seattle's Ray Allen, Portland's Zach Randolph, the Clippers' Elton Brand and another Denver player, Marcus Camby. Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion were all chosen from the Phoenix Suns, but Dirk Nowitzki was the only player picked from the Dallas Mavericks, who have the league's best record. The Mavericks had been hoping Josh Howard would be selected as well. Detroit and New Jersey had multiple reserves picked for the Feb. 18 game. Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, who both made their first appearances last season, are going back, and Jason Kidd and Vince Carter will represent the Nets in the game at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center. Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal and first-timers Dwight Howard of Orlando and Caron Butler of Washington round out the East reserves. The remainder of the West reserves were San Antonio guard Tony Parker and Utah forward Carlos Boozer. The starters were announced last Thursday. LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and Gilbert Arenas were picked in the East. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant were voted in by fans to start for the West.

February 2, 200719 yr Author Lebron just closed lined Wade!!! If Kobe got suspended for what he did the other night James should too.
February 2, 200719 yr Miami - 92 Cleveland - 89 Wade had 42 points. 21 in the 4th. He was 23/24 on FT's. 20/20 until he missed. (NBA record for free throws without a miss - Dominique Wilkins - 23/23) IMO, Lebron was not trying to hurt Wade (Best Friends). He was simply trying to wrap Wade up for the foul & caught him around the neck instead of the arms or waist.
