The official bigfooty all star weekend thread

[PP34]

Yeah All-Star weekend does get pretty boring. The Skills challenge and 3 point shootout were okay but not great. The dunk contest was decent but the new format was shocking. The All Star game will be fun but they only go hard if the game is close with a few minutes to go. In the 80s/90s it was much different. The only good thing about the weekend is teams resting. The trade deadline comes after it which is also a shit time. Bad memories from last year.

Pretty sweet speech to start off.

I especially like the new rule they've implemented this year for team photos: only one player wearing #9 is allowed to smile.

I don't know what the **** this shit is with this "musical performance" between introducing the sides, but it is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

Can someone please tell me who that was so I can avoid it if possible in the future.

Be nice if they actually played seriously from the start one year instead of having bynum and howard chucking 3s in the 1st.

Well, they got a block each so they are playing defence. Give them a three pointer just for the effort.

 

[krayfesh]

There needs to be more on the line for them to go hard from the start.

I like the first couple of quarters being a dunk contest.

 

[Westy Bogan]

USA vs Internationals eg. Ryder Cup of Ball the only thing that would bring out some passion.

They could get some West Orphans and some East Orphans on the bench. Whichever team wins those Orphans get a Mummy and a Daddy...

Then they might try... Could be some good shots of the kids who miss out at the end.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Lob city only thing worth watching so far.

This must be killing Thibs... he can't stand to watch no D... Wouldn't surprise me if this is his last all-star appearance.

They should just bring in D'Antoni as coach of the all-star game every year.

you want more on the line, then say you like it being a dunk contest (thus no D)?

So Griff has to sit it out?

So Griff has to sit it out?

He stands in the corner looking confused with Jason Kidd.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Deng tripped....

OK Thibs, he and Rose can sit rest of the game now.

 

[peternorth]

Straight to the tanning salon to make sure he gets on the stacked team.

 

[Westy Bogan]

I did a quick calculation from looking at the crowd..

Percentage watching the game 18%
Percentage playing with their smart phones 82%

Thats up on last year.

But brah, they're voting on who gets to take the next shot.

 

[Westy Bogan]

There are some serious whores sitting court side... Not that anything is wrong with that. Im sure they paid for their ticket.

Did Paul Pierce vote for himself?

He's got the wheelchair set up rolling over his phone as an auto-vote mechanism.

It was worse last year seeing Stevie Wonder sitting courtside.

Could have paid a kid $10 to bounce a ball near him at the local Y and tell him he was at the game.
