On today’s show, Tas and I hear from you — YOU! — about who we forget to include on yesterday’s All-Star selection show. We also ponder the Iverson-over-McGrady conspiracy theory; talk Warriors; get to our Wanker of the Week; and much, much more …

    McLovin’ the show guys. I believe Iverson is in the starting lineup because TMac is restin’ the old back.

    I’ll tell you why G-Wallace won’t make the team…cult.

    Best NBA videos on Odenized.com…as always!

    I know it doesn’t really matter but, who would you give the west all stars head coach postion to? byron scott or avery johnson?

    also, I’m in desperate need of a ball claw, so if I buy a shirt, could you guys throw it in for an extra $3? jk

    Who’s the skinny guy modelling the T-shirt? I suspect it’s J.E. Skeets. You’ve obviously been hanging out with Kevin Durant too much. Follow Barkley’s advice and eat a damn Big Mac.

    actually you have to eat 3500 calories just to gain 1 pound, or as they say in Canada, kilopound. Eating one big mac won’t be enough. You’d have to eat several big macs to make a difference. Several.

    I eat my feelings.

    I have no feelings.

    I hate the “He’s young, he’ll get there eventually.” When the Blazers get G. Oden and Rudy Fernandez next year, Roy’s numbers are most likely going to go down because he won’t have to carry the team on his back like this year.

    Stephen Jackson is more important for the Warriors than B Dizzle. When hes on, the whole team is.

  7. J.E. Skeets at 2:21 pm on 01.25.2008

    I don’t necessarily agree with the “he’s young, he’ll get there” comment, but you know it factors in to the coach’s final decision.

    i love Cap’n Jack as much as any warriors fan, and he is probably the second best player on the team… But no way is he more important than Baron. Just cause we lost all those games when he was out? if Baron was out we would loose too. Baron’s having his best year, with his playoff’s heroics are fresh in the mind. he deserves an all star spot.

    I really liked the use of “Newborn” today, in conjunction with “Superstition” AND “Waterfalls.”
    Which made me wonder- has there ever been a repeat song? or does every new podcast have a whole new set of music? I tried to figure it out for myself, but failed miserably.
    I’m really avoiding doing any work today.

  10. J.E. Skeets at 4:31 pm on 01.25.2008

    There have definitely been repeat songs. Not a lot. But some.

  11. christoff at 6:07 pm on 01.25.2008

    Baron definitely deserves an all-star spot and on one hand I’d love to see him get the recognition; but he’s averaging just over 39 min. a game and he’s not the least fragile guy alive.

    I’d rather he got 5 days of rest. If he goes down the dubs will too.

  12. Tim at 6:24 pm on 01.25.2008

    Skeets, why you leaving Deadspin? This runs entirely counter to the Canadian world domination plan.

  13. J.E. Skeets at 7:45 pm on 01.25.2008

    Big reason. You’ll find out soon enough …

  14. Eddie Lampert at 8:21 pm on 01.25.2008

    Nice shirts. Will you have any that have the logo at the upper left of the page?

    I’ve seen a few sources suggesting Bargnani shouldn’t be be playing for the sophomores in the rookie game. I was wondering what you boys made of that, especially in light of a number of injuries to sophomores and 2006’s reputation as a weak draft class.

  16. Will at 10:22 pm on 01.26.2008

    Why do I get the feeling you guys are going to get paid?

    Don’t tell us you’ll end up at Yahoo like the rest of them, only to get lost in the world of bad navigation.
