Great to see Hakeem and Dikembe in the game. Good stuff!

There's Biyombo blocking a Beal drive.

Yeah, folks here wanted him to back Gortat, but apparently -- given the contract he got from the Raptors -- we may not have really tried.

Of all the no-brainers, that was the brainless-est: he's a tremendous bargain.

They had a few minutes, but were sucking wind after a few minutes.

Hopefully, they get back into the game in the second half.

Missed it, I would have watched. Thx for the heads-up.

#FireErnie ~ Because he believed Stephen Curry couldn't help us and Jan Vesely could.

Washington's Bradley Beal led Team World with 18 points and Paul had 12. Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points for Team Africa, with Deng adding 20.

Didn't even know Brad was playing...glad he wasn't injured

Lol, Beal (and the rest of Team World) was basically messing around the first half and not trying. He got hot in the 4th though during the comeback, with 11pts

^
If you watched the game, the first half -- particularly the first quarter -- was like an all-star game with guys half-stepping, playing no D and jogging around the court. About the 4th, it was time to play ball.
