[BigGameDamian]

TRob is on the court...seems like forever since he's played

Wonder if the Nuggets wanted to take a look at him?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

At the risk of Kingspeeding this, They are gonna be there until the buzzer sounds. And then they have to shower, do interviews, etc. So...

Lol oh locker room shower memories... So much singing, way too much singing...

James Harden and Klay Thompson will replace Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant in the West's starting lineup. Anthony Davis' status remains TBD

As long as Aldridge and Lopez aren't doing any duets...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I had a class with a guy wearing a Kobe jersey... and he was talking to someone else... he wasn't from California, he didn't have anyone in his family as Laker fans... he just 'liked Kobe'.

That's my best friend lol he is a Laker fan because of kobe... Now he is trying to hop on the Blazer bandwagon and I aint letting him on lol

 

[Sinobas]

I'd like Blake to score a little more. Just a little. 6-8 ppg would be nice.

I'd like you to score a little more, can't you get us a couple of baskets a game?

 

[KingSpeed]

It's Steve Blake man, when he gives us 6-8 it's on two big threes or some crazy layup. He isn't a scorer and we shouldn't expect anything but floor spacing and good passes from him. All his scoring is gravy.

Blake averaged 11ppg for us in 30mpg when he played for us before and only a couple seasons ago, he averaged 9ppg for Lakers in 30mpg. He's giving us 4.5 ppg in 20mpg. Is it too much to ask for 6ppg? I'd like to see him make 2 threes a game and sometimes a layup too. He's a little too unselfish. We need all of our bench players to score.

Of course I can.

Lol I'd pay good money to see them duet ebony and ivory.

 

[julius]

I bet Kevin Durant would be named to the starting 5 if Anthony Davis ends up missing the game.

He also had a longer leash on his past teams and his previous stint with us. Besides his energy should be spent playing d and setting up his teammates, he is a point guard. Scoring is CJ's job.

Geesh, I wonder who makes All Star game if Davis can't make it. Dirk. Monta, Conley, or ZBo?

Is it too much for the backup PG to set up his teammates AND score? Let's see...who was the championship backup PG last year... Patty Mills. He set up teammates and scored.

 

[KingSpeed]

I bet Kevin Durant would be named to the starting 5 if Anthony Davis ends up missing the game.

Then the West would have no starting PF. Only big man would be Marc Overrated Gasol.

Patty Mills is a natural scorer though, that's an unfair comparison. Blake is like what Derrick Fisher was for the thunder.

 

[magnifier661]

Wtf man! It's 11:20pm in Orlando right now. It's hard to stay awake for this shit

 

[Strenuus]

As long as Aldridge and Lopez aren't doing any duets...

Well earned 1st like, sir.

 

[KingSpeed]

Patty Mills is a natural scorer though, that's an unfair comparison. Blake is like what Derrick Fisher was for the thunder.

Fisher scored more than 4.5 ppg too. Is it too much to ask Blake for SIX POINTS? Blake can score. He just choose not to.

 

[Strenuus]

That's my best friend lol he is a Laker fan because of kobe... Now he is trying to hop on the Blazer bandwagon and I aint letting him on lol

The struggle is real.

An expectation is a resentment waiting to happen.

that surprises you?

I have no fault with Harden OR Thompson starting. It's the way that they have no real positions anymore that bothers me.

How can Durant/Gasol/Klay handle LeBron/Melo/Pau?

 

[julius]

Anthony Davis just announced he's out of the ASG.

I think that Kerr will announce Durant as the starter. LaMarcus (and Lillard) just don't have the flashy games that the rest of the starters will (well, Gasol ain't flashy either).

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lol this is the All Star Game dude... Theses matchups don't matter.

 

[BigGameDamian]

GO TO THE RIM!!

 

[julius]

who knows, not my problem.

 

[Sinobas]

God LaMarucs, stop shooting those jumpers...I was just starting to talk nice about you

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

LA can't buy a bucket

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Holy space shoes Lillard!

 

[Strenuus]

THAT'S WHY wes is gonna get paid.
