Thats stupid, both should be in the actual all star game, not the rising game

They could still be in the all-star game, since the reserves are chosen later. It's unlikely either makes it though given the competition, maybe Paolo sneaks in because of his rookie buzz but I think Franz has almost no shot.

Man the thought that we can realistically make the bottom rung of the play in and still have a chance to win Scoot hasn't escaped my mind.....

But that being said, I do not think we make the play-in.

He's been injured and hasn't got the minutes.

This will be my first time following this new format. Sounds cool in theory. Will Paolo draft his team?

There's better players ahead of them but next year I can see one for sure

No. Coaches will draft (I think). This year they have Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Deron Williams (miss him), and Jason Terry.

People put way too much stock in them, like having a good or bad game means something. Just stresses me out for no reason. I just skip them.

Nah, don’t do that to yourself. Honestly, it’s great fun, no defense, and in the end it doesn’t matter. I just want Paolo and Franz to have fun they are so serious all the time.

That's just where my mind went. Just a glimpse of those three playing together.

But with a school yard pick, I don't see that happening.

They won’t play together in the rising star game. The G league players will be their own team coached by Jason Terry.

It's only semi entertaining if you are in arena. But nothing allstar- weekend-related has been too much fun to watch last 10+ years.
