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?

Sad? dude has bigger problems than his nba career it seems

Scoobay · 02-28-2024, 01:03 PM

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.

BPo001 · 03-03-2024, 09:32 PM

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

Melonhead · 03-06-2024, 11:02 PM

Just watched Dinwiddie ignore a wide open lebron after lebron set a pick for him lmaooo lebron was visibly irritated

EricaLubarsky · 03-07-2024, 09:45 AM

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.

saclare · 03-07-2024, 11:12 AM

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.

EricaLubarsky · 03-09-2024, 03:56 PM

Mathurin now out until next season

KAT may be back by the playoffs

DevinHarriswillstart · 03-11-2024, 12:44 PM

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

BPo001 · 03-26-2024, 08:53 PM

Bucks giving away this game against the Lakers. Middleton has forced up straight garbage the last 5/6 possessions

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.

BPo001 · 03-27-2024, 07:49 PM

Man what?s up with Draymond? He just got tossed like 5 min into the game. Curry seen wiping away tears after his ejection.

BPo001 · 03-27-2024, 09:10 PM

76?ers just gave one away to LAC. Would have been nice for LAC to take the L.

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

EricaLubarsky · 03-27-2024, 10:38 PM

Rockets are for real. Jesus. 10 straight and took down Thunder tonight

Mavs play Rockets a couple of more times.

DevinHarriswillstart · 03-28-2024, 11:28 AM

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.

saclare · 03-28-2024, 02:19 PM

Ehhhh don't put it past a guy like A-Rod pulling stuff, too...

Scoobay · 04-05-2024, 10:32 PM

wow refs screwed UCONN hard on an offensive foul call on a pick
terrible call in the moment

BPo001 · 04-05-2024, 10:36 PM

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.

EricaLubarsky · 04-06-2024, 09:17 AM

Bucks are 15-16 with Doc as coach.

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

If he asks out I?d give them PJail and THJ for him

EricaLubarsky · 04-16-2024, 12:04 PM

Giannis will not be back for the beginning of the playoffs

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-16-2024, 02:07 PM

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

Scoobay · 04-16-2024, 11:02 PM

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

EricaLubarsky · 04-16-2024, 11:48 PM

Man I?m happy the Kings were bounced.

Also Zion injured without contact. Again. Looks like Kings may take 8th

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...

EricaLubarsky · 04-17-2024, 09:54 AM

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

pels had their chances - feel bad for Zion
Ingram was bad but Jonas and CJ were building brickhouses out there too

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.

EricaLubarsky · 04-17-2024, 12:28 PM

Jontay Porter lifetime ban from the NBA for gambling/fixing

I mean Im not sure he can do better. He's built like Barkley-- 2024 Barkley and not prime Barkley.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-17-2024, 07:07 PM

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

Melonhead · 04-17-2024, 08:13 PM

I?m getting ptsd watching Batum hit 5 threes lol

EricaLubarsky · 04-17-2024, 08:33 PM

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.

Scoobay · 04-17-2024, 10:10 PM

don't really watch the hawks play much, but damn trae is a little midget out there
don't think he'll ever win anything as the lead player
