Lol Indy figuring out a way to game the system. Good for them. Definitely an advantage to go last and figure out the best strategy after watching everyone else.

The nba tries too hard. Keep it simple. But no…nba always needs to be flashier and flashier.

The first iteration sucks. Way too simple.
Simple is great sometimes. The shootout is consistently the best event and it's by far the most simple.

How much sound do they pump in? The crowd always seems dead on these things.

I think they had trouble getting guys in the first one. It was easy to look bad if you rushed and ended up missing 3-4 passes in a row. That turned into guys jogging and going slow to make sure they at least made the pass or just refusing to participate

I was wondering the same thing. That crowd "eruption" at the end of Indy's turn there sounded really, really fake.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

I didn't think about it but you're right, they probably do. The Colts stadium is only half full, the rest is partitioned off with a huge curtain.Sofia wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:Decent seats for tonight.

You can argue about which era was better in the nba. But something is undeniable. The all star weekend peaked in the 90s.

There is tons of people wearing Pacers' gear here so they're for sure the fan favorite but now that you all say it they probably are pumping in noise.Sealab2024 wrote:Sofia wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:Decent seats for tonight.

If their team has any stones they throw Ant out at the 5 and let him snipe left handed.
