All Star game - watching Boogie

[Glenn]

I hope this is OK here. Seems like most announcers think Curry will be MVP but a few have mentioned Boogie. Boogie's huge challenge is getting minutes but if he gets decent minutes, he will be on the court where he will not be double and triple teamed. If he was selfish and took the rebound and went coast to coast, he'd be hard to stop.

But, Boogie is not selfish. Too bad they don't give credit for that as All Star game MVPs tend to be the highest scorer. Anyway, have fun Boogie and please, please don't get hurt.

I'd love nothing more than for him to get the MVP but I don't see that happening so I'll just watch when he is in the game...when he is out I will gladly turn the channel. Not a big fan of the All-star game at all...rather enjoy College Basketball .

I don't like All Star games either. I'd like to see some defense and these guys seem allergic to defense.

I can't watch please keep me updated On Boogie.

My first time watching a Kings All-Star! Pretty excited.

I don't even know what that means?

Nice to see he is enthusiastic about Cousins already and is making his support known.

 

[Iced Espresso]

As long as he has a good time, and returns healthy call it a day.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Jeez I think Shaq meant Peja about the shooting but said Petrovich like 10 times, embarrassing to Peja, us, and him being a partial owner.

I can't believe anyone would be worried that these two might not get along. Boogie will follow a coach because he's the coach. You have to suck badly for Boogie not to follow you. It doesn't hurt that both George and Boogie have sent good messages back and forth.

probably talking about Drazen Petrovic. well known as one of the greatest shooters ever

I didn't think he was on Peja's level. But hopefully you are correct, otherwise that looks pretty bad.

above Peja. Whenever the "best shooter of all time" conversation is brought up, Drazen is mentioned every single time

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Petrovic is at least on Peja's level, but sadly his career was cut short due to a tragic accident/death. Petrovic was an amazing player who could have done more if he had the chance.

This is from someone who has grown up watching Petrovic play and seeing him drop 122 points in what was then a VERY VERY strong Yugoslavian League. I love Peja, but Drazen was a better shooter and by a fair way.

I think Drazen was the best Euro shooter of all time.

Not sure if you can't watch for other reasons, but TNT has a live feed (hey, legit, legal feeds are becoming more numerous!)

The D League game was starting at 5 PM Pacific which created a bit of confusion for me but it appears you are correct.

Freakin love the Canadian National Anthem.

 

[itzcoatl]

I liked queen latifah's rendition of the national anthem. The Jazz guitar part was pretty rad.

Yup. Overtime has been a legit legal option for TNT games for about five years, now. The available camera angles are different from how most US consumers are used to watching basketball games on TV, though, and you don't get any of the pregame, halftime or post-game.

 

[Chubbs]

Minutes for Boogie? Any guesses?

I'm thinking pretty low. 12-15 mins total.

I'd like to be wrong.

I'm thinking a little higher, if the coach does indeed want to win. I say he earns the mitutes with strong defense, and of course some unstoppable post play.

25-30 with an shot at MVP if the guards don't try to showboat too much and actually feed him the ball.

Nah, he meant Drazen Petrovic:

And that's the problem.

Not a lot of post play so far.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Man, very exciting so far. Can't wait for Boogie to enter.

 

[The Hammer]

And that's the problem.

Yeah I kind of quickly changed my opinion as soon as I saw the play and remembered how these games go.

Funny thing is though, with the game SO spread out like this... Cousins just has a field day in the post if they toss it anywhere near him. He'd be essentially unstoppable.

 

[IfAt1st]

After Marc Gasol went coast to coast and dunked the ball, Webber gets his Kings cred revoked for agreeing with Reggie's list of only 3 centers who have a great handle with the basketball: both Gasol brothers and Noah.

Anyone notice the obvious omission?
When mentioning centers who have the handle to go coast to coast, wouldn't the poster boy for doing so (DMC) be a glaring omission?
Especially when he's going to be on the court soon?
It's not like he's persona non grata and can;t be discussed because he was omitted (though they tried to again this year, injuries not cooperating).
