First competitive all-star game in a long long time. Last I can remember being competitive was MJ's last.

Steph and Harden were trash tonight.

It did seem Team Lebron wanted the game more and they had the added length to play defense when
needed.

Even though he should have been in for that last play, Steph wouldn't have gotten him the ball.

Best ASG performance from a Blazer in many, many years.

The intro performance and halftime of the game was by far the worst thing I've ever willingly seen on TV.

NBA should have used "Players Only" instead of Fergie for the National Anthem.

I liked the player intros with Hart's jokes, but not the skits/songs before them.

The West (Team Steph) had it won until they benched Dame and put the two scrub guards on.

Dame eats Curry for lunch meanwhile Captain Feathersword needs the refs on his jock to do anything.

Apparently D'Antoni is not familiar with Lillard time? Why in the world was he not in there for the last play?

If anyone can post highlights from Dame, that would be awesome.

Dame's stature with his peers has risen and makes one wonder if he wanted out what we could
get for him for a team with a real future like Philly might back up the truck for Dame

He should be because he coaches a team that Lillard beat on a buzzer beater in the playoffs that many Rocket fans are still bitter about.

I dunno about others but I liked it. It's always fun to see what players can do with no defense played but seeing real basketball among the all-stars satisfies the purist in me - for example seeing LeBron and Durant lock down and throw some doubles together on defense was amazing and something we otherwise would never see.

I don't know about "would never see." I've learned to not count LeBron out of joining up with stars. :wink:

It's too bad Steph was so intent on taking the last shot and dribbled himself to the side where his only outlet was in the corner. Klay Thompson was in the game, has the best 3 point percentage in the league and was having a decent game shooting wise. If Lillard was not in the game, Klay should have had the last shot. Definitely a fun game to watch, although I never really minded the no defense. It's fun watching them do some of the fun stuff that is successful sometimes and a big fail the other times.

That's an interesting infograph, but it's a bit counter-intuitive. It would make more sense if easier was lower and harder was higher.
