Best All Star Game eva
Agreed. I've never seen anything like it in many years.Best All Star Game eva
It's for sure because of the format.Wow, looks like it was actually a competitive game, really like that. Might've been that it was a pride thing for the players to play their hearts out to honor Kobe, or the fact that the MVP award has been renamed, dunno.
Most competitive one I watched was probably '01 or '03, can't remember which one but it was with Iverson, Kobe, Jordan all really going at it and playing defense.
Why would it matter to them more to win the ASG? They could've just as well laid off when they were trailing by 8 points with just 13 points to go.It's for sure because of the format.
Just going by what the players themselves were saying.Why would it matter to them more to win the ASG? They could've just as well laid off when they were trailing by 8 points with just 13 points to go.
Ah okay, cheers, didn't know that. Hopefully it stays that way in the future then, I didn't have high hopes for the format but seems to work in that case.Just going by what the players themselves were saying.
Chris Paul said at the half they were keeping an eye on the overall score. Team LeBron seemed more desperate to win than a losing team had in previous years and they played more as a team than as individuals.
I'd love some one on ones on a Saturday, or even on the Friday instead of the celebrity game.Ah okay, cheers, didn't know that. Hopefully it stays that way in the future then, I didn't have high hopes for the format but seems to work in that case.
Hopefully they'll introduce one on ones for next year as well, players seemed up for it.
Yes(3rd and 4th btw) Just went and rewatched it, daaaaamnAaron Gordon still deserves too win every dunk contest until the end of time for his 2nd and 3rd dunks in 2016. The dunk contest should go ahead then everyone agrees at the end that those two dunks were the best and then everyone goes home.

Good gambles, maybe.They are also getting Jeff Green on a 10-day contract it seems. He will play center.
I find it hard to figure out how good Clippers actually are at this point. They’ve played their best line up for maybe 300 minutes this season and it just looks like they genuinely don’t care about the regular season. When they switched on they looked fantastic but it was only really the couple of games against Lakers and a handful more.They are favorites, but there is just a bit too much iso or basic pick and roll in that Clippers offence for my taste.
Even in those, it's about 15 total minutes they looked great.it was only really the couple of games against Lakers
Yeah, they will certainly go up a level in the playoffs in terms of their intensity. Don't have any doubts about that. And they will be able, considering how deep they are, to hold that intensity for 48 minutes which is their biggest advantage. Along with throwing different combinations in both direction or for example to have 3 or 4 players rotating on LeBron without much, if any quality dropped.I find it hard to figure out how good Clippers actually are at this point.

Perhaps they will just leave it for the playoffs. If regular season was a measure of how good teams are then it’d be Bucks championship to lose but we all know how it went last season. If Bud refuses to play Giannis 35+ minutes in the postseason and cut their rotation to 8 best players it could be the same story this year (I hope not).
And we won by three at home against Detroit team that started Snell, Maker and Mikhayluk and played Brown, Galloway, Henson and Knight over 20 minutes.Melo Ana CJ went Off!! Sheesh
Ya Portland were on a hot streak before but seen to be struggling recently. Luckily both of them are were on fire last night or it would of been a very winnable game lost against a lottery team. Its going to be a fight for the last playoff spot in the west.And we won by three at home against Detroit team that started Snell, Maker and Mikhayluk and played Brown, Galloway, Henson and Knight over 20 minutes.
I think it's Pelicans' to lose, as weird as it may sound. Their schedule is very favorable, they have by far the best unit of all playoffs chasing teams. Portland is a mess, Memphis have a nightmare of a schedule and San Antonio... I just don't want to see them there, I guess. Also pretty awful.Ya Portland were on a hot streak before but seen to be struggling recently.

Yeah but even in the period before the trade when they were without Capela they were winning games - they also beat the Mavericks (albeit without Doncic in the line-up) and won the tie-breaker game with Jazz the other night. They've played 10 games since Capela last featured in a loss to Portland in January - they're 8-2 in that stretch of games.They are 5-2 since trading for Covington, two of their wins coming against Warriors and Knicks (of course they have no idea how to stop small ball, they have no idea how to stop anybody). Beating Lakers and Celtics was impressive but I think them being amazing is blown out of proportion because of how many people criticized that move at the time.
I hope they can get the magical 70 wins. 20-4 should be possible, their calendar is quite favorable. Tough games include Miami, Lakers, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston and Denver on the road but they won't suddenly lose all of them. I think they should realistically aim to win all home game until end of season.Surely the Bucks are on course for at least the 3th greatest regular season in NBA history by now? Can't see them finishing off the season 23-1 but they're allowed a 19-5 record to be T-3th with the '71-'72 Lakers.
Could go out of the window if they start resting players in April though, they'll probably have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs locked up by then.
He's done what everybody thought he should have done for years, basically stopped taking threes. He's taking 2.5 of per game and has had multiple games where he took none. He's a bad shooter but quite efficient at the rim, a good creator and has good mid-range. He's become super efficient, basically his shooting is close to 55% over this stretch I think.Westbrook playing the way he is massively changed the Rockets frsom start of the season, after a poor start he has become incredible since the start of 2020.
His midrange shot is really smooth, he still air balls it at times but it's very satisfying to see for some reason.He's done what everybody thought he should have done for years, basically stopped taking threes.
