The official All-Star weekend thread!

[julius]

Nobody wants 2" of rain over All-Star Weekend. Imagine the whining had the game been here this weekend. Other than the actual game, this entire weekend of events has mostly sucked. Last night was a dud of epic proportions.

then just do the games indoors.

 

[BBert]

MONKEY?!

You racist bastard.

He's clearly Apist.

 

[santeesioux]

Jesus Christ, are they ever going to start the game?

 

[jlprk]

Seriously, the guide on my TV still says "all star game". Some clown is still singing. Did I miss the game or what?

Is this your first time? The actual game always starts about 6 hours after the TV guide says it does.

 

[santeesioux]

Also, Portland has too many cracka azz crackas for the all star game.

That's just an excuse. One they haven't used as of yet. But give them time.

At least the players are getting rest.

 

[HailBlazers]

No Pharrell has a few more hits to get too.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No Pharrell has a few more hits to get too.

The highlight of the game, unfortunately.

nice of Drake to take off his hat..

seriously folks..

It may as well be. I haven't watched an ASG in years.

I haven't even watched any of it so far. Had to take my Valentine out Friday, then after reading the reviews here, didn't bother to catch any of the 'action' on replay.

 

[santeesioux]

I wanted to hear Mystikal rap.

 

[julius]

Ooh, he's doing a Spike Jones montage.

 

[PapaG]

This Star-Spangled Banner performance ... it's really happening, right?

the NBA is giving Russia a run for it's money in "biggest way to fuck up an event"

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Turrible

 

[santeesioux]

There is nothing conditional about the Portland Trail Blazer love and the love for the NBA.

And hasn't been since it's existance.

Portland is full of hipsters that like soccer, not basketball, plus as was mentioned, what is a young rich black man supposed to do in Portland? Can you imagine Drake trying to find shit to do here?

 

[PapaG]

My 8 year-old loved the Gary Clark Jr. rendition of the national anthem. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I don't who game them the idea that the all star game = super bowl. but that's how they treat it.

 

[julius]

can "make some noise!" be retired? (I know that's not what the guy said, but it was said soooooo much today...)

Actually I'm kind of a stranger too. In the last 30 years I've probably seen parts of 2/3 of NBA ASGs, no, I think 1/2. And I just watch small parts till I get bored. Just like watching non-Blazer games. Short attention span I guess.

Probably because it sounds like something accessible to them.

The NBA has fucked this weekend up much worse than Sochi.

It's three days. You are paid 100,000 each down your in town. It's business. quit complaining.

I'm still not over "money ball rack" or "the dunk contest is back" from yesterday.

It's so awesome that a sporting event, which is supposed to reward a city for loyalty (not barely staying in a city, but giving $$ to the league) and be about the game of basketball, is now about what "famous" people will be able to do for fun.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland doesn't have enough food carts to host an all-star game.

Glad you're seeing it!

Portland isn't an ideal location for Black Thanksgiving
