Yeah, you are watching the first 6 minutes of the All Star game...

Kawhi is a scary player when he’s on and he’s trying.

Leonard is still the best player in the NBA.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

No comparison. Kawhi doesn't play on B2Bs.

ASG is lower intensity than practice. In between 8-9 days off. Kawhi won't play big minutes.

I hope team LBJ doesn't run away with the score on 3s. Would be fun to see a competitive 4th.

Since it started with team player style I felt the last part of the games have been a bit more competitive than with the East vs West thing.

When this new format started a few years ago, the initial game was pretty good and the players were actually giving about 90% effort and it went down to the wire. Ever since they’re back to not giving a **** which is fine but why the hell would anybody pay big money to watch this game?

Giannis picked all effort guys for a no one tries exhibition game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

More pissed they changed the "In all thy sons command" just to appease these sensitive few. :noway:


I don't see how it's controversial to reflect more than 50% of the population in the national anthem.


There was no need to change it in the first place.

It's the all-star game. You can take off that crazy tin foil hat now.
