All Star game - watching Boogie

#93
Cousins had a good game. I think Kerr might have put him and Duncan in there to shut off the East's push. They took away the lane and cleared the boards, old school big man style.

I feel kind of sad about Melo. Cousins was checkin him on D and not having troubles. Melo clearly not healthy.

I like her better as Cat Valentine and that is saying a lot :eek:
What? Who?

Everybody stop using TV based pop cultural references. I am a lawyer. People wonder where do I get the spare time: well a big chunk of it comes from me simply barely watching any TV at all. Same way I've avoided spreading out with age in part by simply never developing a taste for soft drinks. Anyway, these TV references just suck. :p

And no, Ariana seems to have found her look and is sticking to it (with good reason). Which is something of a relief really after all the years of having freaks like Gaga running around changing week to week.

Summary:

DMC scored more points than Marc Gasol, Klay Thompson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and Chris Paul. He grabbed more boards than LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul. He played fewer minutes than everyone but Aldridge (who played the same - 18), Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard.

Why didn't they give DMC his obvious assist?
He should have had three to Lillard, but Damian only made one of the wide open threes Boogie gave him...

BTW - the one shoy Demarcus "missed" (the reverse layup) was hanging on the rim - I wonder if it would have dropped in if it hadn't have been offensive basket-interfered by his own teammate.
 
I don't usually watch All Star Games, but after tonight's game I think they should seriously consider the possibility of eliminating the PG position from the All Star voting instead of centers :D. That stretch in the 2nd quarter, where Boogie was on the court with 3 PGs, who were freezing him... that was some ugly basketball.
But Boogie had a good 2nd half. Hope he enjoyed the weekend.

In other words, not bad. The first All Star game is about fitting in. He did it.
 
Did anyone else feel like you were watching Russell Westbrook's birthday party tonight?...
You know it's his day, just turned twelve so everyone just has to go along with it. How many shots did his ass take?

Yea, usually the MVP of all star games have to be selfish and ballhog. I mean, would a humble man shoot almost every time he touches a ball knowing there are other stars playing with you and some of them has only taken 1 or 2 shots?

Exactly.
It irks me when reading headlines about "Westbrook's epic night" - the guy did not shoot as well as other players (I think Harden played better), and he lost any respect from me when he didn't pass to Boogie, who had carved out position down low and was open for the pass for at least 3 seconds, then Westhog turned him down and weakly drove, then faded away and shot an air ball from the elbow.

What kind of galactic selfishness would make a player advertise to all his peers (the best players in the world) that he doesn't give a crap about playing right?

I'd knock Demi out of a top whatever list just for the awful tattoos. And lord knows I love me some crazy women with awful tattoos, but kids today can't even do that right...
