I just watched 3 hours of a 3 point contest? What the **** is Adam Silver thinking?

He was trying to appeal to casual fans by announcing he's banning defense in 2018 so there could be a lot more offense but now I do have some small hope that he's going to unban defense. I know he sees all the hate from the fans about all star games the past few years

No contact. In that situation, he thrives.

I declined watching the ASG again, for the 15th straight year. Can’t bring myself to do it. Will catch the highlights but from the comments here looks like I didn’t miss much. Def need to see Scottie’s action.

Barnes showed he belonged....and can only help his confidence especially with Team USA this supper.

He will be much more relaxed around those guys too.

I don't agree with James much, but his comments about the all-star game and the direction the regular season games are going - I gotta agree. There's a lot of contrast there.The inflated scoring is getting out of hand making the game unbearable to watch. Glad he made those comments.

I know it’s a small, subtle thing but again I look at guys like Pascal, DeMar or Lowry and they would again just kinda blend in like wallpaper where as Scottie despite being young just seems he belongs.

Effort & consistency are the only things that stand between Scottie and stardom.


Demar and Kyle where always fitting in. Big reason why they where part of team USA, Kevin Durant going telling the media how he wants a bromance similiar to Kyle & Demar, the 3 way bromance they had with Butler. Demar especially has always been one of the more respected players among his peers.

All-star game is a snoozefest now.

Damn shame, they don't compete anymore.

Masai/Bobby were there tonight. Hopefully laying the groundwork for offseason deals. Get to work.
