The official All-Star weekend thread!

[Natebishop3]

So it's basically one on one

It's boring.

 

[Hobbesarable]

It's boring.

Were you expecting something different?

 

[Natebishop3]

Were you expecting something different?

Yes, I was expecting more people to shoot than just Waiters and Hardaway

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, Lillard played the most minutes of anyone.

That's a little messed up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He's played over 30 minutes so far.

That's kinda BS.

Oh well. He won't have to do it next year.

 

[illmatic99]

Solid. Dame and Anthony davis are bigger than this game.

Btw, this game did nothing to change my opinion of waiters. Isn't it a little telling the kyrie is vining vids from some rap concert instead of being at the game?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hahahahahaha!

Stern never would have allowed the trophy to break.

 

[illmatic99]

Bwahhahahahaa totally symbolic of how stupid this evvent is

Both Drummond and Davis look like excellent front court prospects. It's too bad, and I said this after 2012 draft, that there wasn't a bit more creativity in that draft to take that 11th pick and another asset or two to move up high enough to take Drummond.

I read that the trophy last year broke, too. I guess a batch of them were made together. Bad glue.

Anyone have a box score?

What were the assets to move up in the draft and get Drummond? FWIW, his on/off stats are terrible this year. Even though he puts up great numbers, his terrible team is better with him off of the court.

Lillard was plenty aggressive before he missed 6 of his last 7 shots.

His three point shot is just off right now. Not sure how well that bodes for the three point contest

I wanted to move up and draft Drummond as well but from what I remember GSW had no interest in trading back if Barnes fell, the report was that Toronto panicked after the soup juggler was taken and Detroit had no interest in trading once Drummond fell to them.

Dame puts Stephen A. in his place:

Smith asks Lillard “Why should we believe you guys can beat Oklahoma City?” Lillard’s reply?

“You don’t have to believe it. You don’t have to. They beat us twice, we beat them twice this season. When it comes down to it, we believe we can beat people. That’s all that matters.”

Now.

 

[PapaG]

Cliff Paul is co-hosting. Not Chris, but Cliff, his "twin" brother. What a shock that Chris made the All-Star game!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sly Poker Dog ‏@SlyPokerDog @trailblazers In a few years Dame's twin brother, Don Lillard, will be hosting AS Saturday.

 

[KingSpeed]

Chris Bosh is good from half court

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Next year Kingspeed's twin brother, KongSpeed, will be posting in the All-Star thread.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard getting little respect as defending champion.

 

[illmatic99]

Absolutely stupid idea to make this a team event
