In most sports sometimes you will see players who go off for a few games after they have been snubbed for the allstar game. Last yr in MLB B. Giles went on a two week long tear starting the day after it was announced he would not make the team. Not trying to say any of these players will. Matter of fact they may play like garbage since they are upset about not making the team, but a few notables:
Jerry Stackhouse
from everything I have read he seems the most bitter about not being in the game. I know people are always left out but wouldnt suprise me to see him have a big offensive game tonite.
Jalen Rose
He seemed pretty upset too and even took a shot at Mike Miller from the Magic.
Michael Finley
mostly it was his teammates complaing that he wasnt a reserve. Avery Johnson said he would rather have Finley over Shawn Marion. Guess a GM is not in Avery's future.
K. Malone
saying all the right things as any class player would. but i would attribute his huge game last night as much to do about the snub as it did the fact C Webb was out all the 2nd half.
Again I know every year players will be left out and upset about it. But I have noticed how some players have big games after finding out. Some just for one game, others for a week or so. Very possible that none of these players games will be affected by this but still figured it is worth keeping an eye on.
