[E.H. Ruddock]

Excellent, spike

The guy I'm matched up with in fantasy basketball has snapped up Bol, Clingan and Grimes this week - I really should open up a streaming spot so I don't miss out on all the silly season pickups around ASB.

No love for Mac McClung? He was the only saving grace to an otherwise abomination of a weekend.

i feel like people arent invested since he isnt a "NBA" player

I like how ant put it. he is a dunker but has no tricks and that is what wins the NBA dunk contest. the game itself cannot be fixed because there is no incentive to do so. it used to be a good percentage of their salary was what the winners took home. now it is closer to 100K per player but when a player is making 50 million a season is that really incentive? make the all star game east vs west and winner gets homecourt for the championship round. other than that i do not see any way to make it competitive

Idk I thought Mac was absolutely fantastic. As for the game itself, yeah there's not much to do to make guys care. And I'm not invested enough in wanting a competitive all star game to put home court advantage on the line, which or may or may not incentivize guys anyway.

Either make US versus World and alternate playing in the USA and Europe or scrap the game all together.

I do have a working theory they make the weekend bad on purpose to generate content for 1-2 weeks every year.

Mac was absolutely fantastic. I think he belongs in the league way more than bronny does. I remember watching his insane high school highlights. And while a great dunker for sure I think his lack of height is what holds him back. Unless he can learn to be a true point he won’t catch on

Where is Mureșan Mureșan?

The ASG's only hope is to have a true killer like MJ or Kobe back on top, holding everyone accountable.

The All-Star game sucked with Kobe too.

matter of opinion but at least they pretended to play defense

Get well soon, Wemby.

Lakers are pretty solid tonight

[Monkey_Driven]

Both Thunder/Wolves matchups this week were great. I wish more people who are on the "the NBA sucks now" train would actually watch games. Seems like there are several games like this each week.

Smh Jimmy

[wease]

I just saw MAX has a new doc on the history of the Celtics. Fuck yeah

[VinylGuy]

So kinda feels the Lakers will beat the Knicks tonight.

I dont think i know a single player for the knicks really.

[VinylGuy]

well, it already changed.

[Monkey_Driven]

There have been some quality basketball games as of late!
