Agreed this one was pretty bad. The highlight (if you want to call it that) was Steph vs Sabrina. 3 point contest was okay I guess, but I don?t like the addition of the 2 deeper attempts for more points (whatever it?s called). Dunk contest was awful as was the AS game. Zero defense was played and it?s the same guys shooting the ball everytime. I?m actually glad Luka doesn?t give a shit. Save his legs for the second half of the season and less risk for injury.

I'd go for a HORSE/PIG competition
what about a game of Knockout but from the 3pt line?
or maybe have a mini tournament - 4 teams - rookies, rising star (2nd year), East all stars, West all stars. game to 30 or 40?

Will be interesting to see what if anything happens with Monty Williams lashing out at the refs. That was a horrible no call and he's rightfully pissed.
Will the NBA slap him with a fine? The ref crew already acknowledged their mistake.

Brunson left the game with a non contact knee injury. Kinda looked like the same injury Caron Butler had during the 2011 season.

I know we're basically fighting for play-in HCA and not a real. playoff contender, but KAT is down and won't be back for the playoffs.
OKC has a rebounding/bigs problem. Minny is now much more beatable. PLayoffs will be interesting.

Just get there, right?
Everyone has and will struggle with injuries, they're inevitable in today's game. Hopefully the Mavs woes are largely behind them. I sometimes forget how much time Kyrie, Luka, Lively, Green, Exum, and others missed early on. Add to it a few new faces, it's gonna look rough at times. Just happens to look way worse with a coach that at best average.

Jazz waive Otto Porter Jr. Crazy the downfall he has had mostly due to injuries. Woulda loved to have him a few years ago.

I remember fondly people on here convincing me that Middleton is a superstar.

Not sure about superstar, but he was well on his way to establishing himself as a 2nd type option, 3rd type at worst. Injuries have taken their toll on Middleton who was a late riser, too. Tough to cement yourself in that category.
Bucks will forever regret trading Holiday and re-signing Middleton. At minimum, the trade for Lillard was so dumb founded...now if they somehow dumped Middleton and kept Giannis/Holiday/Lillard? Sheeeesh but I bet they clutched onto some draft assets that they'll regret, too.

Refs were so awful. Three missed calls in final minute all favoring Clips.

Mavs play Rockets a couple of more times.

Wow, A-rod getting blocked by Taylor after three years of trying to buy the team.
You could tell something was wrong with how long this was being drawn out. And now that the Wolves are good, Taylor was like, naaaa.

LAC up 72-37 over Utah in the 2nd. My only concern in playing them again in the playoffs is that they have so many guys capable of putting up 20+ on any given night. Plus they have 2 elite defenders in Kawhi/PG to throw at Luka.

so why is he considered to be such a good coach?
dude has won one championship where he had 3 all stars mostly in their prime
in fairness, Bucks screwed themselves trading for Lillard. he's too streaky, on the decline due to age, and they lost a lot on the defensive end bringing him in. But you'd think a team with Giannis could do better than 500

Rozier is out too. Heat have no chance against the Sixers without him.

kings playing well but they're stupid - keep fouling GSW on 3 pointers
this last one was scary - Len got under Wiggins and almost took him out - that was a bad sprained ankle waiting to happen

Warriors? For sure, team could catch inferno.
Pels had that one, man...Zion was cooking and getting whatever he wanted. I don't wanna hear about AD DPOY he avoided him late. Bron took that charge and def looked like it hurt.
Shooooweeee did Brandon Ingram stink it up...

I'm convinced New Orleans is built on one giant native American graveyard. Pelicans are just so cursed.

Ingram and others are cursed.
Zion is a lazy ass who doesn't do what it takes for his body to play in the NBA. Guy looks like he runs in quicksand on defense. Pathetic.

Heat are killing the Sixers with the zone. Dunno why more teams don?t utilize it.

Zone only works if teams can?t shoot threes or don?t have an inside threat
Thank god for Lively and Gafford because otherwise teams could just beat us with zone for 48 most games.
