OT: Beverly Out for Skills Competition

[e_blazer]

They're saying that it's because he reinjured his ankle in last night's game.

In reality, I suspect that his ass hurts from the kicking Dame gave him.

Is that what people are calling it now? "Kicking"? Beverly probably had trouble walking today, but I don't think it was from kicking.

Beverly is an idiot. He wants to be an irritant, an in-your-face kind of presence with attitude. He's like Gary Payton without the skills.

Bev may want to realize that irritating Lillard may not be such a great strategy.

So, if the NBA calls Dame and asks him to take Beverly's place in the Skills Competition, does he do it to show he's a good sport and to play along side CJ, or does he tell them to pound sand?

I hope he tells them to pound sand.

Rest that foot!

Good choice for Beverly...would be embarrassing for him to enter a skills competition when he clearly lacks skills

He's the defending champ, you silly Billy!

Every time he did it last night we went on a run that was led by Dame hitting shots or making great passes for easy buckets. Beverley was our MVP. He got us fired up.

Shows how little attention I pay to all star stuff.

Also shows how little most NBA players care about being in it.

No way, it's pretty obvious he passed on the 3 Pt contest. Do you think they called pj Tucker first?

 

[crowTrobot]

Even if Lillard were playing in the ASG he probably wouldn't want to take a chance on diminishing his legacy in the skills. Right now it's pretty big cred on his resume

 

[riverman]

Lillard is just there for Adidas and to lobby for players to join him in Portland
