Why broadcast on both TNT and TBS if you're going to make me listen to Draymond either way?

I’m actually stunned they’re letting him do this. Say what you want about Stern, but he at least tried to make the NBA Commissioner’s office a voice of authority. Silver has become such a spineless doormat.

Adam Silver talked him into not retiring. I get it. Just expect them to draw the line still, on the court. Other players deserve that.

The NBA product feels like this weird elitist sport now.

Fellas Draymond is on an alternate broadcast. You don't have to watch it.

He was on both channels for me?

Comments like this are why good players don't compete in the dunk contest.

Do you think his dunks were good?

Also, Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, Nique, Aaron Gordon, Zach LaVine… good players have shown well in dunk contests. You have innovative stuff, or you don’t. It’s not like some secret double standard or internet critic is holding Jaylen Brown down. He just had lame ideas. The MJ glove was half a good idea, he just didn’t do anything good with the idea.

I give Brown credit for being the only star in years to have the courage to put himself out there and compete. I want more stars to do it so you're not going to see me being too harsh on one when they do.

I don’t like him on either channel. And yes, we got force fed him for ten minutes on TNT.

Dame about to get froze out.

Taking the over on 3.5 made 3's for Hali is the quickest cash I've ever seen in my life.

I’d have to go back watch some ASG games from 20 years ago, but I think in 2004 a Giannis would have swatted away that SGA layup, versus clearing out for him.

Dame looking like Bucks Dame lately so far.

Hali is on fire.

It's definitely getting weird.

Doc needs to bench Haliburton before he steals MVP from Giannis.

Matches Malone · Post #1876 » by **Matches Malone** » Mon Feb 19, 2024 1:52 am

Between Doc and Dame, not sure who's getting more vitriol online from the "NBA Community".

Giannis has definitely become "americanized" with the All-Star game.

LFG Dame!

Luka bitching at the refs about a missed call in the first quarter of the All Star game is very on brand.

rilamann · Post #1880 » by **rilamann** » Mon Feb 19, 2024 1:55 am

Kind of crazy that 3 of the 5 starters for the East either play for a team from Wisconsin or are actually from Wisconsin.

We run this bitch...lol.
