The official All-Star weekend thread!

[Hobbesarable]

Maybe JP was on to something a week or so ago.

Oh. What did he say or post?

 

[Hobbesarable]

I bet the players spent more time filming the "give back" commercial than they did any actual giving back.

Sadly that might be true.

 

[PapaG]

For those complaining about how his body language looks, it's no different then it looks in a regular season game. That's just his flow.

If he waved a towel from the bench for the 20 minutes he was off the court in the first half of this game, would that mean he cares?

 

[Natebishop3]

My bad. ESPN box score had him 2-3. Apathetic players typically take 1 shot per minute on the court.

4 shots
4 minutes
6 points

This place can't even give up the Lillard hate for an AS game, ffs.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I love me some Trombone Shorty!

 

[BBert]

No one 'goes hard' in the all star game. It's in the contract.

 

[Sedatedfork]

That is all you need to know about Durant right there. 3 on 0 break and he pulls up for a 3.

 

[PapaG]

Eh, I disagree. He goes pretty hard in an actual game. In the two games he's played in this weekend, he just kinda coasts, takes open shots when they're there, but he's totally happy just passing off. He's not really a showman like Wall or CP3.

He's in his first AS game, and Wall has worse stats than Lillard in the first half, with almost 2x the minutes. Would Dame doing jumping jacks between plays make him more energized?

Tell that to Durant. The fucker is screaming at the refs even in this game. What a tool.

He was being facetious, I think. Ill let him repeat himself if he wants too.

 

[PapaG]

I'd argue that Lillard's 4bar event in NO gave back, in terms of giving aspiring artists a national stage. Dame even showed up for it after the Rising Stars game.

Am I the JP in question?

 

[PapaG]

So, does this mean your Dame criticisms are sarcastic? Or, does this mean you're wasted tonight, and can only post via emoticon?

Please clue me in, because it seems like you're criticizing Lillard.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

yep!

[PapaG]

Are you really criticizing Lillard for the AS game?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What I'm gonna do to you...

 

[jlprk]

yep!

I remember speculating that Lillard had a problem with a girlfriend or got his feelings hurt or the coaches were on him about his game weaknesses or he was told to play more defense and go inside more and shoot outside less.

But I don't think I could find the post.

 

[Pritchslap Madness]

He needs those 20FTA he normally gets per game!

because it's not a terribly important game.

somethign about beiing framed is all I remember

 

[Natebishop3]

It's a show. The players that are most entertaining, tend to get the most burn. Dame can be entertaining, but he doesn't have the ego to completely dominate the ball like a Durant or Paul.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Lillard playing 4 minutes is turrible.

hoop fam

 

[PapaG]

Tell that to Durant. The fucker is screaming at the refs even in this game. What a tool.

Dame should be yelling at the refs, too. That means he cares.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[jlprk]

Wow, I said Lillard was framed? For what? This is getting good. I need you to be my memory more often.

What did I post?

Has anybody else more obviously tried to win MVP than Durant in these?

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Actually as much as we want Rip City represented, them getting nominal minutes is probably for the best.

It doesnt hurt my feelings
