Did Giannis even shoot in that 4th? Go get the ball and make a play Mr. Mvp- team has your name on it.

Well that was intense.

Team Giannis (East) all froze on the offensive end. Giannis couldn't superstar, and Kemba could not make plays for him or others.
They however played with great defensive effort and effectiveness... except for Kemba.

Should have played Jimmy in the 4th instead of Kemba
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nurse should have put Gobert back in, he was dominant earlier.

I realize this is an all star game but it’s funny how nick nurses annoying player usage still rears it’s head in the all star game. It’s not like we don’t have another capable talented guard on the bench but he opts for small ball. only way to justify playing kemba is if butler was hurt.

No, Lowry has a good charge but has been awful in the later stages of the fourth. Dumb plays over and over

Siakim has been worse though


Siakam only had 10 shots this game, 1 bad TO. Walker choked hard.


and front runner for mvp kawhi didn't score when siakam switched onto him.

Lowrys charges taken were the highlight of the All-Star game and will be his golden ticket into the Hall of Fame.

Giannis should've seen the ball more in the fourth. He kind of disappeared.

Kemba shouldn't have played over Butler, but Butler was so bad to start the game. 4 straight turnovers or something. I missed the second and third for the most part.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

Highlight of the night is a the last free throw? Lol

Great quarter, but Nurse's line up sucked. Why didn't they make any substitutions?

Lowry played well. Showed his grit. Pascal, not so much.

Still best ASG quarter ever.

Siakam struggled scoring on Harden just like in the last regular season game against the Rockets

He struggled. But so did the rest of the team East.

If anything this shows the East playoffs could get really sloppy when the intensity picks up. Of course the defence will not be able to commit a foul every possession like Lebron.

Butler for kemba and Bam for Siakam probably would have won the game

I still can't believe Harden blocked Siakam on that play. Like what the **** are you doing?!

Yeah, Pascal was fine. They weren't really looking for him, and his defence on Kawhi was great throughout that 4th. Sure, he missed a free throw, but so did every other player in the game that got to the line...except Lowry.

Gasol & Ibaka create more room than Giannis & Embiid when hes on the low block.

Nick Nurse with the 200IQ move, kept Siakam in against the some of the best 5 NBA players playing with Intensity

Might be good for his development
