Jaylen with 22/1/5 with 2 steals, played 26 minutes.
Tatum with 21/7/3 with 4 steals, played 17 minutes.

They both played really well, good job guys.

Tatum and Brown played well and didn’t get injured which is all that matters. Success!

They acquitted themselves well!
Hope they do it tons more.

Team LeBron was amazing tonight. Curry/Lillard/CP3 alone is ridiculous.

Maybe if they played Tatum more minutes they would have fared better. Just saying

On the plus side we don't have to worry about him playing too much in the ASG:)

Didn't miss Kemba out there tonight.
Beal and Tatum don't look particularly... dynamic together? Just two perimeter guys, like we've already got.
Stick with JB and JT. No more JB-for-Sabonis or JB-for-Vooch trade proposals from this guy:)

He was the only guy on that team with a positive +\-, weird that nobody else had one.

But I’m glad he didn’t play much, he needs the rest badly.

Kyrie can defend when he wants to. He just rarely wants to.


I’m still so mad at him lol, because we could have been title contenders for awhile.

But he’s incredibly talented, and yeah it’s no secret how him and Jaylen feel about each other lol.


I think KyKnee is such an overrated bum. He just has amazing fortune in playing with the two best players in the game. Otherwise we'd never have heard of him


This is silly. Kyrie is a gifted, talented unique player. I'm not a fan of what he did to the Celtics. But to call him an overrated bum just shows that you let your feelings get hurt over a sport played by kids you don't know.

Say what you will about him but he is an extremely fun player to watch and his counting stats back up the fact that he isn't just all sizzle - he's a very good player.

Lol - there's a reason he was the first and only unanimous MVP with his main skill being shooting. He's certainly a fun player to watch and is supremely skilled.

"Missed" the 2nd half. Giannis goes 16-16 for 35 pts.

The all-star game is a silly kind of pageantry.

I thought Tatum was the one guy who was playing defense and actually moving the ball and setting guys up on team Durant. As soon as he went out of the game everyone started chucking and team Bron went on a run. JT had the best +/- on his team so seems like that backs up what my eyeballs saw. Jaylen was great and a lot of fun too. Not the best game I guess but fun for us Jay fans.

Jaylen reminded me of Pierce's first 3 pt contest where he had like 8. Hopefully he'll get another chance and win one in the future like Paul did too.


Vitaly? Really?

I'd say there's an argument for Drazen Petrovic.

Not so sure you can test that quick and immediately rule out someone didn't catch it Sunday. It can take days to show up on a test from exposure. No player, coach, or ref was positive Sunday, but the real all clear signal is if everyone is still negative in a week.
