2015 All Star Weekend Thread

[Usual Suspects]

Are we sure Melo wasn't trying to recruit one of the West players? Hey man, how about I get you that extra $10,000 tonight.

No one is talking about Kerr benching Klay in the 4th even he was a starter?

Can you blame him? Thompson was horrendous. 1/9 from 3.

Exactly!

If only Bud did the same with Melo...

[LeChosen One]

How so? The only guys that had negatives were -2. And Korver hit 7 3s for 21 points. Millsap looked bad, but Teague/Korver/Horford performed well. I didn't know that -2 was" digging a hole".

Four of the six best +/- on the east. I get people saying they aren't the best players ever and all that but, come on it's not like they lost this game or anything....

People seem to look for an opportunity to bash them any given chance this year.

What was there +/- when they were all together? Korver did his thing I'll give him that

Y'all are boring as **** to watch

But, I completely understand why he didn't. It would look bad b/c of the whole NY deal. However I think Melo should have been the better man and asked to be subbed out.

[Atmanne]

Kerr mic'd up is hilarious

[picc]

Lebron not bothering the fullcourt heave, just protecting that fg% I guess.

You've got to be kidding me. Down 5 with 1 second left, he doesn't take a contested full court shot? And you actually think this is valid criticism?

Had no idea anyone would take that seriously.

Enjoyed the response though. : )

As do I. Still wish they did for entertainment reasons. It could have been a much more exciting finish

All players have flopped at one point...But those players also are known for playing through contact and attacking the rim with authority, not something anyone has ever said about Harden..

Nah, to generalize "all players have flopped before" is exactly the weak excuse I was expecting. Does Duncan flop? Does Kobe flop? Rarely if ever have I booked either of these old school guys as floppers.

A lot of players flop, a lot sell contact/exaggerate contact like Harden, but if anyone should know, it's Dwyane Wade who has not only tried selling contact, but has blatantly flopped to get a call, which in my book is even worse than someone as annoying as Harden.

Every player has exaggerated contact! Every player!! Wade has flopped! LeBron has flopped! Melo, Curry, Paul, Wall, Gasol and KOBE!

Wade has had bad flops..but his game is mostly attacking! Harden is a flop....Watch Wade coming up! Learn something! Read up on his first 7 years... Go watch some highlighs...The dude attacked and gave up his body at every turn... Harden falls when waking up in the mourning... I'm done...Anyone who defends Harden while trashing Wade is.....Well you can fill the blank....

told you...

I get melo wanted to play for the whole NY thing. I expected him to play 10 minutes then sit out. This is a guy who hasn't been playing for his club and will most likely shut it down tomorrow for the year. I know winning isn't gonna help the Knicks this year but if he's to 'injured' to play for his team how did he play 30 minutes and jack up 20 shots with his buddies. Melo is and always will be a loser, more worried about being mates with celebrities then winning. A very rich loser mind you so maybe he's the one having the last laugh, at the expense of the Knicks.

[Ax2SG]

Damn, could have swear it was LaMarcus Aldridge holding his first ASG MVP trophy.

[Sgt P]

Horford +11
Teague +3
Millsap -2
Korver -2

Stay ignorant.

Do you see that outside of Hereford, you are actually proving his point.

How so? The only guys that had negatives were -2. And Korver hit 7 3s for 21 points. Millsap looked bad, but Teague/Korver/Horford performed well. I didn't know that -2 was" digging a hole".

I was not agreeing however the stats you showed really did not support your position.... thats all...

[NBAfan3024]

Glad the game was close.

[durden_tyler]

Love the fact that West players ignored Westbrook in the last play

A comment below the video said it all :

hahaha am I the only one who smiled watching this? It's like watching your pops do a new dance that you didn't think he was aware of and you like wtf lol. I love Dirk, he can do no wrong! G.O.A.T.

[Lord Cuban]

I like the Vince Carter pose as he's running back down the court.
The last time when dirk finishes alley oop dunk , it was in 2004 
I wanted to hear this after he dunked:

Shame to see Klay struggle maybe he was abit nervous...

[fancynapkin]

Kyle Korver had the second most points on his team. More points than Curry in less minutes too. But apparently he "isn't an all-star" according to his detractors because he doesn't do fancy dribble moves.

[baki]

lol come on guys it's just an exhibition game, we stopped caring since 1992.
