The fans have spoken: Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry is an all-star. Lowry made a late surge in fan balloting and will start for the Eastern Conference at the NBA all-star game. The scrappy Raptors guard passed Miamis Dwyane Wade in voting and will start alongside Washingtons John Wall, the first time the East has had two first-time starters at guard since 2000. Lowry finished with 805,290 votes to rally from a deficit of more than 100,000 votes at the last balloting update to overtake Wade. Fans rewarded him with his first all-star appearance for his hard-nosed play in leading the Raptors to a huge lead in the Atlantic Division. Hes the first Raptor to start since Chris Bosh in 2008. Lowry is averaging 19.8 points per game, 7.5 assists and 4.9 rebounds, career highs in all three categories. Lowry and Walls tandem is not the only first at this all-star game. Pau and Marc Gasol have been voted the first brothers to start in the NBA all-star game. Pau Gasol of Chicago will start up front for the East along with Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony for the Feb. 15 game in New York. Memphis Marc Gasol joins New Orleans Anthony Davis and the Clippers Blake Griffin in the West frontcourt. Tom and Dick Van Arsdale played in the 1970 and 1971 games, but the Gasols -- once traded for each other -- are the first brothers chosen to start. Wall earned his first appearance last year, and now hes earned his first start. The East hasnt had both its guards making their first start since Philadelphias Allen Iverson and Charlottes Eddie Jones in 2000. Fans had to vote for two guards and three frontcourt players. The reserves will be picked by the head coaches in each conference and be announced next Thursday. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who had previously asked Canadians via Twitter to vote for Lowry, tweeted out his congratulations to the Raptors point guard after the vote was announced Thursday. Great work by all of Canadas basketball fans for helping to make (at)Klow7 an .NBAAllStarNYC starter. Congrats, Kyle, Harper wrote. Golden States Stephen Curry made his own late surge to pass James as the overall leading vote-getter, the league announced Thursday. Kobe Bryant was also voted to start at West guard, though thats in jeopardy because of a torn right rotator cuff. The star of the NBA-leading Golden State Warriors, Curry ended up with more than 1.5 million votes, more than 42,000 ahead of James, who had a 13,285-vote lead over the sharpshooter at the last update. Curry, who just two years ago was an all-star snub, becomes the first Warriors player elected to consecutive starts since Chris Mullin in 1991-92. His partner in the backcourt is up in the air after the Lakers revealed Bryants injury earlier Thursday. Though the severity of the injury is unknown, many rotator cuff injuries require surgery and several months of rehabilitation. That could rule Bryant out of his 17th all-star appearance, second all-time behind Kareem Abdul Jabbars 19. Bryants first was in 1998 at Madison Square Garden, the site of this years game. Commissioner Adam Silver would name an injury replacement if needed, and coaches Steve Kerr (Golden State) of the West and Mike Budenholzer (Atlanta) of the East would determine who replaces an injured player in the lineup.

Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic .com) - The Hatch Attack is back in the Southern Conference.(SportsNetwork.com) - There are few clubs who would rather face Henrik Lundqvist than his backup, but the struggling Philadelphia Flyers could be wishing for that scenario when they visit the rival New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon. New Yorks Cam Talbot posted his second shutout in as many starts against the Flyers this season, stopping 26 shots to help the Blueshirts win 3-0 in the opener of a home-and-home series Friday in Philadelphia. Talbot hadnt played since making 31 saves in a 2-0 triumph over the visiting Flyers on Nov. 19 at Madison Square Garden and on Friday afternoon he stopped every shot sent his way to give the Rangers a third win in their last four tries. All three of those wins have come via shutout, as Lundqvist stopped 21 shots in 5-0 win over Montreal on Sunday. The last time New York posted a shutout in three games over a four-game span was when they registered three consecutive shutouts from Feb. 4-10, 1973. The Rangers have an NHL-leading six shutouts over 22 games in 2014-15. In three career games against Philly, Talbot owns a 2-1-0 record and a .67 goals against average, but despite his success against the Flyers, New York will go back to its No. 1 netminder in Saturdays rematch. Lundqvist, the 2011-12 Vezina Trophy winner, is no slouch in this series either, posting a 27-13-3 record and a 2.49 GAA in 45 lifetime games against Philadelphia. Fridays tilt also was a big game for Martin St. Louis, as the Rangers forward posted a goal and assist to reach 1,000 career points. The two-time Art Ross Trophy winner has registered 379 goals and 621 assists over 1,082 games. Its always great when you achieve something, but I dont think it crosses your mind when you try and play in this league, said St. Louis about reaching the milestone. To get a thousand, its a great accomplishment. Im not going to hide my feelings, Im proud of that. Dan Boyle and Rick Nash also scored for the defending Eastern Conference champions, while Derek Stepan assisted on all three goals.dddddddddddd Nashs tally was a short-handed goal that came early in the third period and less than a minute after the Flyers were awarded a four-minute power play when Chris Kreider drew blood on a high stick against Philadelphias Sean Couturier. Stepan led a 3-on-1 rush and sent a pass from the left wing into the right circle for Nash, who one-timed a shot into the net for his 16th goal of the season. The goal pushed New Yorks cushion to 3-0. New York welcomed captain Ryan McDonagh back to the lineup Friday after he missed the previous 11 games with a separated shoulder. The defenseman picked up an assist on Nashs goal. Steve Mason made 21 saves for the skidding Flyers, who have lost three in a row and are 1-6-1 in their last eight. The recent drought has dropped Philadelphia six points behind Toronto for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers were 0-for-6 on the power play and are just 3-for-24 with the man advantage over their last six games. Were definitely in a rut here, said Mason. There is still a lot of time to make up room, but you cant let this keep sliding like this. Its unacceptable, its embarrassing and we have to get going on a roll here. Philadelphia backup Ray Emery could get the start today. Emery owns excellent career numbers against the Rangers, going 7-2-0 with a 1.87 GAA and .936 save percentage in this matchup. The Rangers have won three straight and four of the last five meetings against the Flyers. Although Philly won one of four road meetings against New York in the opening round of last seasons playoffs, the Flyers have lost nine consecutive regular-season tilts at Madison Square Garden. Not counting a Game 2 win at MSG last spring, the Flyers havent won on the road in this series since Feb. 20, 2011.
