The defense being played in this All-Star game is a joke.

211 - 186 in favour of the Eastern Conference.

A very tight defensive battle.

 

[GKJ]

211-186

Both teams scored 50 points in the 4th quarter

The defensive intensity by both teams reminded me of the 1990 Bad Boys Detroit Pistons.

That’s kind of an ugly trophy.

We should invade Canada for Frank Geary alone.

NBA, hoping for effort, instead gets 397-point ASG

After months of commissioner Adam Silver stressing the importance of having a more competitive product on the court for the NBA All-Star Game, Sunday's midseason showcase did nothing to end discussions over the future of the event.

Adam Silver lets the players walk all over him so I'm not sure why he's surprised.

Anybody think the Slam Dunk contest is a bit of a joke? It's just guys jumping over other guys now. Oooh look at me, I am jumping over Shaq! who gives a crap? It needs to be scrapped.

It would be more impressive if it included people anyone knew about, instead of bringing in a G-League guy to make it even more meaningless. The real problems with the dunk contests is that it seems like it’s all been done. And the players are too worried about getting embarassed.

It seems the biggest plus they had was Steph vs. Sabrina 3-point contest, which does seem to have some heft to it, but I’m not sure what you can do with it. Not unlike the dunk contest.

LBJ is gonna retire after this season.

No way, he's going to have a big press conference to announce it and have a long ass obnoxious goodbye tour
