Wall's dunk was awesome! Glad he's getting some recognition. I hope he makes some splashes tomorrow in the ASG and really increases his image.

Wow I knew Wall could get up but not like that. Yeah it sucked it should've been one more round with Wall, George, Lillard an Derozan as a true dunk Champion. AS Weekend is getting weaker by the year. Being in NO did not help much either what a lame crowd all week. Good job by Wall and Beal this weekend so far.

He mention taking too many long 2's tonite during the games in a interview with TNT. Hopefully he can get some easy buckets and it will carry over to the rest of the season when the games count and get to the line more. Can't read much from a ASG but but maybe getting more easy baskets against the best will help him in the long run.

Wall's dunk was great! And Beal making 6 in a row, to tie, will be remembered for awhile. Great showing for those 2, especially Wall's dunk.

I don't understand why the players other than Kyrie stood to the left of the rack. They have to bring the ball all the way across their body to get the lead shoulder in front. Seems like it makes more sense to stand on the right side so your lead shoulder is closer to the basket.

Nice to see both guys do well.

I liked the dunk contest in general. Sometimes less is better although I would have liked to have known before that the head to head dunks were what would judge the final champion.

[dobrojim]

Wizards represent - proud of both John and Bradley. That said, it won't
mean a whole lot unless there is some carryover when the games that
count start again Tues. We have critical games coming up. Just win baby.
Get that 3rd seed. Thank you, that is all.

Damn. I wish Cousins hadn't signed that contract. Definitely don't blame him for doing it. And don't blame Sacramento for giving it to him. I just wish he could have come here.

If Wizards got Cousins....and a new HC..

Wizards > Pacers

Wall = showmanship
McLemore/Shaqlemore = canned corniness

Am I the only one who thinks Ben McLemore would have been a great "3rd guard" for the Wiz?

[sfam]

Wall is absolutely rocking it this year. He seems to have a real desire to get better, and to win. I missed it live, but wow, that dunk was pretty sweet.

he can't really dribble that well and can't get his own shot (sort of redundant with Beal). Wiz need someone more like...eh....Pierre Jackson

Overall im actually surprised by the showing by both guys. Beal played well for a youngin' who hasn't been hyped much at all. Still don't understand his rack choice.

Wall really surprised me cause I didn't think he had that kind of creativity in em. I always though he was a mini-lebron when it came to dunks, lots of power but lacking in creativity. Good for him though.

I'm thinking in terms of potential.

Ideally...you'd hope Beal would improve in time enough to slide over as the backup PG (When Wall goes to the bench and Ben enters the game)

Would be cool to see Wall throw oops to Ben as well. Oh well.

The Pacers are more than just a couple of great players. They've got good players playing the right roles up and down the roster. They've got a great coach. They've got a massive homecourt advantage. And they have an awesome foundation for defense that gets incredible results. They're balanced too. Everything for that organization is in sync right now, top to bottom.

It's going to take a lot more than one or two new players and a new coach for us to become that kind of team. You've got to grow that organically and it just takes a lot of time and excellent leadership and vision from the management.

But Cousins would be a key foundation piece. I think that you're right we'd have more individual talent than Indy if you add Cousins to this roster. The trick would be getting it to come together as something better than the sum of it's individual parts.

Kyrie Irving so didn't deserve to be presented with the All-Star starters...

[AWIZZINGBULLET]

Gary Clark Jr. killed it...

[queridiculo]

Palmer...

[MikeTheKid]

I love Bill Russell 1000 times more for saying that to Lebron, dumb egomaniac leaving Bill Russell off his Mt. Rushmore, he has like 15 championships throughout his entire bball career!!!
