The three point contest was a good battle this year. Buddy and Booker went after it. Lavine shot about as well as he does in games, streaky. Dunk contest was meh. All star game was, well they worked for it some in the 4th. Long week of nothing.

Maybe it is just me... I also like European/NCAA competitive style more.

Well I essentially missed the whole weekend, but I'm not too pissed.

I've got a bad case of D'Angelo withdrawal, though....

Man remember when Spencer Dinwiddie was trades for Cameron Bairstow and both players got cut from their new teams within a week? He's come a long way since then and really turned into a nice player

Dinwiddie must really suck if he couldn't even get playing time on bad Detroit teams (that's the type of rationale some have used on Malik Beasley)

In Beasley's case he couldn't get minutes on a good Denver team. When they were healthy he wasn't getting much over 10 MPG.

I mean I'm not mad. Maybe they could pay her more, at the very least she has a chance for a championship. The Lynx might be good this season but they could be mediocre to bad too. Team has really fallen off as everyone has gotten old and or retired. Maya Moore may never play ball again. Brunson just hung it up. Augustus is 35 herself.

Sparks were the number one seed last season. Also, she gets to live in LA for a while lol.

I think as a professional athlete it would be nice to live in LA for a little while. As a normal human being I have heard it is horrible. Just seems like it would have been fitting for her to start and finish her career in the same place.

Pelicans are way better than I thought. Ingram really has upped his game.

I'll always have a soft spot for AW (and not just because I have his jersey..) but he always came across as a very humble and down-to-earth kind of guy. He was invisible for us for the most part, but as a person, he's one of the good ones.

Media would be al over the streak if he was in wolves... just seems the guy never matured mentally. He has lots of things going for him, but to date, he has never been able to take it and lead

Coby White having himself a week. Third straight game with at least 33 on good percentages from 2 and 3. Not sure if he’s a point guard, I have my doubts, but the kid is a player. Fun to watch.

You know what's crazy? Wiggins could be an NBA champion next year.
