All Star game - watching Boogie
- Thread starter Glenn
- Start date
My only question is how will Boogie react to this group, and his small role?
Will he defer and be nice guy, or will he come in like a beast and try to push people out of his way to get the missed shots?
(Of course, the long shot would have to miss, AND bounce his direction, so it would take some luck, but) He could make a name for scooping up rebounds and getting powerful put-backs.

It might help if Demarcus didn't feed right into everyone's preconceived notions of him being "lazy" by actually moving faster than a walk pace on the court.
He might be more involved in the plays, too, if he didn't stand behind the backboard, actually stepping off the court though noone's pushing him....
This is rather a disappointment - I thought Demarcus had learned more about self-promotion than this pathetic display.

I think you might be going slightly overboard. This is obviously a "no one cares" type of game where you throw up junk, many times that being a guard shooting a 35' three pointer. It is also his first All-Star appearance (and first stint) and maybe he doesn't want to step on any toes or try to show off too much. No one is really running super hard, majority of the time there are at least 2 players cherry picking.
It's pretty much a joke actually no better than almost eliminated NFL Pro-Bowl and that's saying a lot. MBL and NHL do it right by making it competitive, fairly no nonsense. Maybe NBA could have prize $50K to each player on winning team or some such. Or like MBL with their award of World Series home field to victor in that all star game. 200 pts for winning team street ball team tonight - ugh!
