You need 1 guy to want to win, start winning because of it and then another guy to respond and want to deny that guy from winning.

Soon enough, enough guys buy in and you have a competitive game.

Bless Giannis for trying to be that guy.

Never understood why they don’t go hard. You can’t pull the injury excuse when you’re in a league that plays 82 games with the majority relatively meaningless over the course of the season. Footy or NFL you can understand it, where every single game is a major turning point in your season and you don’t want to go down with an injury in an exhibition game.

But NBA.. you’re putting yourself out there at risk of an injury every night in a game that’s only 1 of 82 and doesn’t necessarily affect your season that much. The all star game is no different to that.. just another random game, so let’s see the best players go up against the best players..

What you said. Think Embiid is their gold carrot but him and Simmons together I’m not convinced at all. Could easily get a couple of early first rounders and or a couple of players (shooters) that could help Philly really contend.

I wonder if the Nets would be willing to give up Dinwiddie, Harris, and Lavert to get that 3rd star to pair with Kyrie and KD.

I think that would be a win/win trade for both

End of the 3rd real interesting with the new format. Both teams suddenly trying.

Genuine effort so far in the last.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Bron clamped up by Giannis, wow.

 

[danielnajdek]

Should've kept Ben in for defense.

OK, this is awesome. New format FTW.

 

[Toffee Lion]

We got a game folks, this is history making here. Most competitive ASG since when?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Okay you know they tryin' when you see Lowry flopping in the ASG lol

Not like this. Not even close.

 

[Coasters7]

Complaining at ref calls and getting hyped in timeouts. Did I load the wrong game up?

 

[NSWCROW]

Embiid fouled 36 times in the one play - Team lebron do their block lol

 

[dont bowl there]

Everyone needs to watch this last quarter. Wow.

 

[tombomb]

It's depressing that they can't play like this for the entire game.

Chris Paul being whiny, I am shocked

That’s what playoffs are for. It would be stupid for them to play like this all game, just be happy the new format gives us this.

 

[Royces Hart]

Is there a recording contract on the line?

 

[Toffee Lion]

THAT IS CLEAN

 

[danielnajdek]

LeBron just dunk that.

 

[QuietB]

Kawaii took a terrible shot there.

They are actually playing properly now - nice format

 

[Toffee Lion]

Kobe would have loved to play in this ASG.

Speaking of s**t shots
