WOAT All-Star game?

[Larry Lambo]

All Star Game has never been "competitive" for the most part. If the score is close, then they ramp up the D in the 4th quarter, but that's it.

I will say this year's game was a little sloppier in terms of guys trying to make highlight plays, but other than that it was the same as usual.

How the fukk is it LeBron's generation when you're talking about it turning into a 3-point contest?

The All-Star game has ALWAYS been the same shyt. We're just not little kids anymore. I remember when Kobe blocked TMac in the All-Star game and I had to fend off Kobe fanatics for weeks at school. It was hard times back then.

McGrady blocked him too, though.

Stop posting box scores and go back and watch games pre LeBron, Wade and Melo era. Like somebody said, they aren't even giving us the illusion that defense is being played. They even disrespected the 4th quarter this year.

 

[MikelArteta]

Expect millionaires to risk getting injured to give u a competative game when there's 82 games plus playoffs every season

lol most of these dudes were up late last night partying and drinking, and today doing nba center court stuff, media stuff, hanging out with their family.

folks and the "good ol days"
headto youtube and watch the old all star games, guys like ewing and shaq, and malone eating up the shot clock, lumbering up and down the court

 

[HHR]

Yea, it's getting less respectable...nobody wants to get scored on. So they don't guard anyone. There are like 20 players doing James Harden impersonations

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Some of you have to stop being so sensitive, Westbrook is a great player. Easily the 2nd best PG not the league.

I wouldn't want Pierce winning MVPs in all star games like this.

Nah B, the WOAT ASG was 2007 . I was in Vegas that weekend . The game was straight because the players were partying all weekend as well as the crowd .

Me and my brehs watched for 20 minutes and went back on the strip

It was like everyone was hungover

 

[Propaganda]

i thought was game was pretty weak too.

@blaming it on lebron though. too many of you idiots try waaaaaaaay too hard.

 

[ALonelyDad]

The USA vs World and tonight were the worst part of the weekend..why?? Because these guys don't try at all. In previous games, there was at least staying in front of your guy, it's layup lines this year. It was pretty terrible and only going to get worst.

 

[MikelArteta]

so what you really want is passing the ball inside and a dude backing down for 6 seconds, guys waiting for others to "come back"

running sets and isos

go watch the old all star games many wer eatrocious shooting and dull and boring, ol i wish it was ass nikka

 

[stepbackj34spud]

The hell were you expecting, a defensive showcase on par with 04 Pistons vs Pacers?

Crazy you say that because the Pistons came in once and did there thing defensively with the help of Pierce. They don't make all star games like that.

I was expecting guys to play like they wanted to be there.

Yea and if it's a close game in the 4th they start really playing but this game wasn't close late

 

[DarrynCobretti]

The only thing that was really missing and that I really wish added another element in this game was more one on one matchups and players really going at one another.


Imagine a John Wall v. Westbrook poppin off on the court or Bron v. Durant or PG v Harden on the court at various times...the crowd atmosphere woudlve been on another level.

THE nba game is not even the same as it was back then
stop living in the past
