All Star weekend doesn't excite me much these days.

I remember when I was growing up I loved this. I would look forward to the Slam Dunk competition. I wouldn't miss the all star game for anything.

This year, I'll watch the game, but I'm not super excited about it at all. I wonder if the new format will actually inspire some interest. I'm skeptical, but we will see.

All eyes on the Nurse coaching Siakam, Lowry, and Giannis dynamic.

NN should Box and 1 LeBron to get the dub.

Pascal, Kyle and Nurse hopefully have been on the phone with Masai crafting their tampering strategy. Looking forward to seeing it put to use.

With how poorly Siakam has been shooting for the past 2 months I don’t really even care about the all star game. Or the other events.

I want to see some real defence. That would fix the all star game and all the tournament talk would disappear forever.

I hope the All-Star game comes down to the final posession where Nurse draws up a play for Giannis, Siakam & Lowry that results in a game winner at the buzzer.

Is the All-star weekend the point when Bosh, Lebum and Dwade started their master plan to join up in Miami??

Recent Q&A with Siakam:

SportsNet: What are you looking forward to the most at all-star weekend?

Pascal Siakam: Having the chance to be with Giannis [Antetokounmpo] and a fellow Cameroonian, Joel Embiid. I can’t wait to represent not just the Raptors and Canada but the continent of Africa.
