What a moment for Finland and naturally for Markkanen himself, representing the Jazz as a starter at the All-Star Game in Salt Lake City. Funny fact the ASG was held in both Chicago and Cleveland when he was there. Knowing how easy-going and humble he is, I'm sure he's going to enjoy the weekend without any pressure (not sure you could feel pressured at such an event anyway). Hope he stays healthy, keeps those numbers up for the rest of the regular season and grabs that MIP award. And who knows, maybe the Jazz push themselves to a play-in spot. Although the deadline trades did not strengthen the roster for this season.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Dame wins the three point contest. I had a bet that Huerter would outscore Tatum. Yikes

The slam dunk contest gets worse every year
Mcclung putting on a show
McClung is smoking Murphy.
Can this McClung play at all?
After watching him in Summer League for the Lakers a couple seasons back, I can honestly tell you, no. Not a lick.
Agreed in general but I feel this one was better than it has been recently.
Well that was atrocious.
McClung was nice, but the problem is that the stars are dodging the dunk contests and even when they join, they make it all about the gimmicks instead of doing actual great dunks like what McClung did.
And no offense to McClung, but seriously, he’s a NBA player? Thought he was just a G league player.
Agreed on every point.
Watching LAC vs Kings, this shit is hella fun, bet if they would start throwing ball blindfolded, still no misses.
Update:
What are Clippers doing, felt like Kings scored 10 points in 10 sec
Update: Anyone watching this, holy shit game went in OT, Monk saved it with a 3 / 153:153 regular time.
How the feck is that not travel by PG haha
Kings clutch defence = leave Westbrook unguarded OT number 2

There's a slight problem when you score 153 points in regulation and lose.
Highest scoring game in NBA history?
Not quite...unless they go into double OT which is still possible at this point.
Dec. 13, 1983, the Detroit Pistons beat the Denver Nuggets 186-184 in triple overtime. It was, and remains, the highest-scoring game in NBA history
Double OT...164 a piece.

What a win by Kings, what a game, had everything.
It had Russell..
Celtics vs. 76ers was absolutely fantastic. I’d love this for the 2-3 series in the East.
The last five seconds were pure insanity.

Dallas losing to Lakers at home. And people actually thought Dallas were better after this trade, they're worse now with no defense and two ball hogs.
I said it before, Lakers are in it for the playoffs! They're going to be tough now for anyone.

it just amazes me how poorly built this dallas side is.....slow team that cant defend, it just doesnt make any sense. You can take an amateur center and a guy will easily have 10 rebounds against them.
What a comeback by Lakers. I had money on them and Hawks -3.5, did not expect it would be Hawks to let me down a couple of hours ago when Lakers were down by 27.
Mavs have no shot in the playoffs though. Zero defense. Lakers may have a shot at the play-in now even if it means a few extra playoffs games against Nuggets or Grizzlies (though they might actually have a shot at beating Grizzlies if they get the 7th seed somehow).

Dubs round off a beautiful day
Dubs tried to throw it away again with 3 turnovers in the last 40 seconds, but managed to hold on. Thought they were cooked when Wolves went up double digits at start of the 4th.
Good win!
Good win!
Jokic with the spin move. God damn that was smooth
The “most points scored” top 30 games or so is insanely stacked by Wilt.
Dame is absolutely ridiculous.
Turned off the game when we were 20+ points down early in the second Q, ffs.
We really needed that W. Nice little win streak going on, just 1 game behind the play-in spots now. Let's fecking go.

What do we make of Westbrook to Clippers?
Competition in the west is fierce as it is and they could do with Mann instead of Westbrook potentially ruining them.
2 games in which they conceded about 300 points. It's not all due to Westbrook of course but he played a massive amount of time. Couldn't mean anything but.

Finally putting together a run of nice results to get close to the play-in spots and now James is likely injured for several weeks 
feck sake.
feck sake.This is nonsense.
And as someone who usually doesn't care about the Lakers, I'm very much now invested in seeing them celebrate a 2nd round exit as "proof" that Westbrook was the one "holding them back" instead of Anthony Davis' knees
They need to make the playoff first but I get what you mean.
I'm not so into NBA to know all this, stories around Westbrook are polarizing but who knows he may flourish in the Clippers. Saying that they will have a hell of a competition. Standings at the moment stack them vs the Suns. Of course that might and will change till the end.
The Mavs look finished
Nah, they will sort themself out, just need to turn whole current noise about Luka plus Kyrie into positive.
Kyrie is so overrated by casual NBA fans. Mavs are going nowhere if they re-sign him and build around him and Luka.
Wow Dubs won. I went to bed at half time disgusted with their performance and then woke up this morning to find out they not only won but won with ease.
Shocked, but definitely pleased. Great start to the day.
