The All-Star Weekend discussion thread

Yeah LeBron wasn’t about to make Jokic last as he would have kicked his ass for it in a real game

He butchered his name so I'm not sure that's any better?

it doesn’t help people pronounce his name when his nickname is “Joker” Still Lebron should probably know by now

 

[Section 101]

Not sure Fox is going to get much floor time on that guard heavy team

LOL First you complain Fox and Sabonis won't be getting rest this week. Now Fox isn't getting play time. That should be a positive, but that wont happen for you with Fox.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Damn, the sole Jazz player went last.

We all knew that though?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I can only hope you listened to some nice music instead

For All Nerds podcast.

Were Fox and Sabonis picked in the last two rounds of reserves? or am I just looking at a random ordering?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Give the PEE-PUUUUUUUUUL what they want!

Fox was "technically" the last player picked for Team LeBron, and Sabonis was "technically" the last player picked. Jaren Jackson, Jr. was actually last.

oh, technically great.

Once again, the commentators' version of the game is much more excitable than what is on display. Just as expected.

Luka's mic cuts out as he gets blown by for a layup lol. this talky thing continues to be dumb.

Yeah, it's still one of the many unwelcomed new additions to the continuously dimming NBA All-Star.

Combined with the split-screen makes it quite possibly one of the most unwelcomed new addition.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Fox had a few nice passes but doesn't even get inbounded to. lol. He and Keegan gonna have fun stories back home.

 

[forza kings]

I’d rather to watch Harlem Globetrotters than this garbage. At least they are funny.

Lots of air balls.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Is there a stream of the game that doesn't have all this BS? I checked TBS thinking they had a different stream but they're showing Silicon Valley apparently.

See? All these debates and arguments about who's snubbed...

I'd rather have Fox getting to spend time with the newborn and come back all rejuvenated for the last quarter of the season.

I don't think his mic "cut out"; I think it was a "seven second delay" situation. Alvarado caught 'em sleeping yesterday, and they're trying to avoid repeating that mistake.

I’d like to see Dame get some more looks

I considered that possibility yes. He also seemed to gesture at the headset for some reason (so perhaps he was being told not to do that?)

Reminds me of Gerald Wallace's sole All-Star appearance. It's sort of commonplace for first-time All-Stars, unless their representing the host city, especially if they're like Fox, who doesn't seem like the type to go into business for himself.

So Fox went in in front of Hali? And the scores reset? and uhhh, players just missing dunks now?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

How boring of Sabonis to actually just put the ball in the hoop.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They're playing for charity: the winner of each quarter gets the money for their charity. They're still keeping count for the total score.

 

[Tetsujin]

De’Aaron and Tyrese being super unselfish. Obviously their first time at the ASG
