It's Dame time!!!!!. Dame made the nail in the coffin that gave the Team Giannis the victory. Now the Lebron winning streak has ended.
He tried to end it with a bang by shooting a half-court shot but after several tries, they decided to end it with a regular 3. It could have been nice if Dame made one of those half-court shots to end the game. Nope, it's not all about how they design who plays in the East and who play is the West in the allstar game that decides the game to be serious or not, but it's them, it's today's NBA players that's making the allstar game obviously a joke. Grade schooler game is better than that allstar game lol. Every year passed, the allstar game is becoming less and less competitive. Though I understand that these players are also careful not to get injured, coz they still got a lot of schedules ahead of the allstar break, but at least they should've put an effort to make it more competitive.
I think it was mentioned that the coached did not even practiced with the team. They only gave them a few plays or whatever but from what I understand from it, the stars can just do whatever they want. It would not be competitive if it was like that from the beginning. I guess the stars do not want to get injured, but it would not hurt to make the game a little bit competitive. Giannis though, looks like the wrist is really injured and he just used the left hand to score the first basket and then he went out. The league is still on the break though, so many players can still recover before going back to Friday's game.
You know he was hurting when he had a hard time carrying the trophy.

Giannis would have had a chance to win the MVP if he was playing, but we know he has an injury, so it's hard to risk aggravating it. Anyway, it's good to see that Tatum won the MVP award. However, I'm still not impressed with the game. I'm looking for the classic style where they also play some defense, like the East vs. West set up.

This makes me think that Giannis is going to have an edge for his team to win.
Looking at the roster though, Team Giannis does have a clear edge on winning against Team Lebron. Good to see that team Lebron is not stacked with such big names as for sure, his critics will point it out again and will be serious even if the purpose of All-Star is just for entertainment purposes. Around less than an hour to go and tip-off will now commence between Team Lebron and Team Giannis. I hope that this game will be exciting with a thrilling close out game at the end. Ever since they changed the format from East Vs. West, Team Lebron has won all the all-star games and has a record of 4-0 currently. Now the roster is more balanced than what it was last year, but I can't think of a way how Team Lebron will be losing this time knowing that he has the 2-Time MVP in Jokic and Doncic as well. It's sad to see Steph and Zion not playing though because of injuries. We will miss those no look three-point shots, high flying dunks this All-star game. Anyway, lets just enjoy the game, and put our bets on it maybe. I put my bet on Team Lebron as I believe the streak continues, and has a better chance of winning (for me). Was it 4-0 or 5-0 record and this time Team Giannis broke his winning streak. Correct me if I'm wrong though. But yes, it is much more fun if it's the old format where it is East vs. West because that format is much more competitive compared to what we have now where the selected captains will be selecting their reserves and starting five. Anyway, Jayson Tatum won the All-Star MVP award garnering 55 points, half of that score was made beyond the arc. Quite unexpected if I would say because LeBron got Mr. Triple Double as well as Embiid and Luka, but it was a well-deserved play by Tatum, no doubt. No defense and just pure offense, something that good shooting strokes will have the advantage. In papers, team LeBron for me got that huge advantage, having both Embiid and Jokic and with Luka and Kyrie. That 5 stars are all capable of both offense and defense if the competition is for real, but like what most of us observe today's all-stars is no longer the same. They are just allowing players to take shots, no defense, just all pure offense.

That makes the all star game boring. They should change that; otherwise, they will lose viewers for the all star game. It's hard to bet if we cannot be sure that our team is playing hard, so the underdog is always the best choice. In this game, Team Giannis was the underdog; they were +2.5 on the betting lines, but they won by a good margin.

Can't expect to get a tight defense on all star game for sure they will just have fun and take all the shots or highlights as they can. Winning is just a bonus since the main goal on this event is to entertain the fans thru the highlights they could see on their favorite stars on that event. They remain or choose that flow of the game to happen because they are also being much careful since injuries could happen and that is bad for their teams if their main stars got injured on exhibition game.

That has been the style of play in the last few years, and I don't think it's really that entertaining. They are not playing hard to prevent injury, but is that what we really want to see? I guess those who were born in the 1990s would not be very happy with the all-star game now. The quality of the game has been declining. They remain or choose that flow of the game to happen because they are also being much careful since injuries could happen and that is bad for their teams if their main stars got injured on exhibition game.
I get the point. It's just really an exhibition game, so we can't complain. But for sure they will change it once they realize that the viewership has gone down.

You see, even a coach and a player do not find the game entertaining. He played in the game and yet he criticized it. The NBA has to do something with the All-Star Game; they have to make it more entertaining because it's one of the most-awaited events every year for the NBA. It has become a 3-point shooting contest, which we can blame on Curry, LOL!

Well, I guess we have no other choice but to be used about it as the set-up they have right now is likely to happen again in the next all-start game and for some years to follow. Unpredictability is what they have right now because we don't have that much clue who will rise and give the biggest contribution and become the All-Star MVP unlike in the past set-up where we can somehow guess the outcome. It was a fun game after all but again, it's not what we wanted.

It's Dame time!!!!!. Dame made the nail in the coffin that gave the Team Giannis the victory. Now the Lebron winning streak has ended.
He tried to end it with a bang by shooting a half-court shot but after several tries, they decided to end it with a regular 3. It could have been nice if Dame made one of those half-court shots to end the game. He made one of those half-court shots during the 3rd quarter. What's more impressive is he made that shot like he was shooting a normal three-pointer, just imagining how strong his hand is giving me goosebumps. Normal players would need to use all the force from their body to make that shot and it might not even hit the rim, for him it's like just a regular three. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) How the ball went in the rim was also the same as how he shoots the normal jump shots. Totally, Dame Time! You see, even a coach and a player do not find the game entertaining. He played in the game and yet he criticized it. The NBA has to do something with the All-Star Game; they have to make it more entertaining because it's one of the most-awaited events every year for the NBA. It has become a 3-point shooting contest, which we can blame on Curry, LOL!
It's not. Obviously just for entertainment and they all seem happy about having that kind of game. Unlike last time, the 4th quarter was competitive because it went to a close game. Now, Team Giannis outscored Team Lebron by a big amount and they all just trying to seal the game with a halfcourt shot that's why Team Lebron got near. For us, it doesn't look entertaining anymore but that's the good thing about not expecting too much. Maybe for them, that is fun. Me? I am just laughing at how they try to just enjoy the game. Especially that last minute in the 3rd quarter Jaylen vs Jason.

I've watched the replay of the slam dunk contest. I thought that it was just all hype when I see articles and headlines about McClung. Dude, I'm impressed and he did really made that night and the dunk contest something else. I've also seen that with his entire basketball career, he's made $106k for all of those years. While on this single night, he's made $100k. Mac deserves it.

There's no doubt that it's mostly dependent on the players but there was something better in the old format. The East vs West kinda brought some pride into the all-star game. There was friendly competition and some bragging rights involved. Today is probably like a regular pickup game in comparison. I've watched the replay of the slam dunk contest. I thought that it was just all hype when I see articles and headlines about McClung. Dude, I'm impressed and he did really made that night and the dunk contest something else.
He made some tough dunks for sure. Hopefully he gets a better challenger next time so we could see another Gordon-Lavine like rivalry.

Yeah, hopefully, the next slam dunk contest will be more colorful and we get to see uncontested and rare dunks that will be introduced by that time. His dunks are really something else although I've seen almost similar type of that dunk but I'm sure that if you're in the actual, it feels different and that's why the judges appreciated it.

But it set a new tone when McClung set a new standard on this contest since he's dunk attempts are pretty much amazing. Imagine he take of those amazing dunks for one take only and many people got amaze including the big names on the league. This will set different challenge to next dunk contest since for sure many will might became more creative and also more explosive to surpass what McClung did this season.

I am sure that players will try to show something better compared to what we have seen by Mac McClung. In that process, we will also see some really great dunks. My opinion is, surpassing him is not going to be an easy task for anyone. To be honest I also thought that it was also just hype. But when I saw the reply I was also amazed just like @blockman. That was really something unbelievable. If I did not say that, I would have missed out on something really great.

I’m a little bummed to hear that Kevin Love is going to sign with the Miami Heat. I’d really hoped to see him reunite with LeBron in Los Angeles or I think he would’ve been a great addition to the Warriors. I think Westbrook signing with the Clippers should be good. He’s got history with Paul George and Kawhi wanted a point guard so that seems like a decent fit.

This makes me think that Giannis is going to have an edge for his team to win.
Looking at the roster though, Team Giannis does have a clear edge on winning against Team Lebron. Good to see that team Lebron is not stacked with such big names as for sure, his critics will point it out again and will be serious even if the purpose of All-Star is just for entertainment purposes. Around less than an hour to go and tip-off will now commence between Team Lebron and Team Giannis. I hope that this game will be exciting with a thrilling close out game at the end. Ever since they changed the format from East Vs. West, Team Lebron has won all the all-star games and has a record of 4-0 currently. Now the roster is more balanced than what it was last year, but I can't think of a way how Team Lebron will be losing this time knowing that he has the 2-Time MVP in Jokic and Doncic as well. It's sad to see Steph and Zion not playing though because of injuries. We will miss those no look three-point shots, high flying dunks this All-star game. Anyway, lets just enjoy the game, and put our bets on it maybe. I put my bet on Team Lebron as I believe the streak continues, and has a better chance of winning (for me). Was it 4-0 or 5-0 record and this time Team Giannis broke his winning streak. Correct me if I'm wrong though. But yes, it is much more fun if it's the old format where it is East vs. West because that format is much more competitive compared to what we have now where the selected captains will be selecting their reserves and starting five. Anyway, Jayson Tatum won the All-Star MVP award garnering 55 points, half of that score was made beyond the arc. Quite unexpected if I would say because LeBron got Mr. Triple Double as well as Embiid and Luka, but it was a well-deserved play by Tatum, no doubt. No defense and just pure offense, something that good shooting strokes will have the advantage. In papers, team LeBron for me got that huge advantage, having both Embiid and Jokic and with Luka and Kyrie. That 5 stars are all capable of both offense and defense if the competition is for real, but like what most of us observe today's all-stars is no longer the same. They are just allowing players to take shots, no defense, just all pure offense. Can't expect to get a tight defense on all star game for sure they will just have fun and take all the shots or highlights as they can. Winning is just a bonus since the main goal on this event is to entertain the fans thru the highlights they could see on their favorite stars on that event. They remain or choose that flow of the game to happen because they are also being much careful since injuries could happen and that is bad for their teams if their main stars got injured on exhibition game. Yes, it's quite understandable to us that the players are just taking their time to have fun without risking themselves for an injury because they got a more important jobs to do in their respective team once the regular games will resume especially that after this, the games will be more intense because teams will be playing hard to chase the seeds and the ones sitting in a good spot is going to defend their spots. As an avid fan of the NBA, we kind of expecting that the All-Star will be much different considering that the players right now are much more competitive than what we had in the few recent years but that's not what we saw as it was more like a circus than a tough competitive game.

I just saw the report about Kevin Love and that should be the final for this run together with the team. Report: Kevin Love plans to sign with Heat for remainder of seasonAnd for Westbrook, they're just now finalizing the buyout with the Jazz and he'll go along with Paul Geroge and Kawhi.

Oh, I thought that he loves to play with Dame in Portland. For the Lakers though, it seems that they are loaded with Kevin Love's position so doesn't make sense for them to sign him. It's interesting though that Miami is interested with Kevin at this point, he could be used for his experience for sure specially his outside 3 which I think is still very effective for Love's position and his age. Just spot shooting without having to go and bang himself every game till the end of the season.

I wish it was going back to East vs. West and players wear their own teams jerseys. Team selections before the game was exciting though. We can say that's a good progress in this format. First half was decent. Giannis only played for 20 seconds. LeBron's dunk was amazing. 3-pt contest champion Dame Dolla missed 7 in a row. Everybody scored except De'Aaron Fox. Kyrie and Tatum take the game more seriously. We'll see who wants to be MVP in second half though, I'm expecting LeBron to score more. We are watching an average All-Star game so far. I hope second half will be better.
I also think it was better when it was east vs west. All-stars are not fun to watch anymore. Some parts are of course good still but still we don't usually see something special from the best players of the world. Most parts of the game are just like random players don't defense and play aimlessly. It is not so different from regular people playing. The same thing happens every year. 3 quarters of free shooting practice. The last quarter with a bit of defense the game looks like something. Empty dunks and stuff are still boring, but these incredible long-range three-pointers, super passes and stuff give me pleasure even this way. For example, lebron, almost 40 years old, makes alleyoop with the pass he got from jokic, other than that, he throws alleyoop from the left of the opponent and makes himself an alleyoop from the board from the right. Nevertheless, I think NBA should still come up with something good for all-star games. This is not enough at least for my point of view for basketball.
