2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[PRIME]

Man it doesn't matter what the NBA does all star weekend is gonna be trash.


As for the dunk contest, unless someone takes off from the 3 point line, doesn't really matter.

If they allow 1 one 1 match. Allstar will be dope to watch. I would love to see Lebron vs KD in a one one up to 21 to see who win first.

Dunk contest is so played out because we have seen it all.

That sounds boring as hell. You know many layups will be taken?

 

[grandtheftbike]

for what its worth, lillard definitely surprised a few

 

[Nawzlew]

Harrison was buns.

Absolute buns

He's not a dunk contest dunker.

What they need to do is a 1v1. Dunker vs blocker a la Slamball faceoffs.

Lol i want to see trash talk, back and forth crazy bucket and feeling were hurt from stans of both both sides.

Why would it be boring? It still better than the shooting heir star or whatever it call. Nobody want to see an old NBA player or a WNBA player shoot half court shot.

 

[Hahahaha]

- Didn't think the contest could be worse than last year, I couldn't have been more wrong.

- Only one good dunk the entire night which was by Wall. Only one though, entire night :x

- D League dunk contest was way better. Those dudes were better than everyone tonight.

- The TNT's Crew All Star matchup was the best program of the night. Hilarious.

 

[Bert.]

Missed the dunk contest.

Anything good?

 

[Bert.]

did this guy just call a 1on1 matchup boring? especially between bron and KD?



plz leave

 

[mister friendly]

I thought the Slam Dunk Contest was good but the format was bad

 

[picasso swerve]

Why these dudes stay looking uninterested? No personality, no nothing. Dont even give me a good dunker next year, just something with some charisma.

Really, you guys would really spend season saying "Oh man, I can't wait for the Lebron and KD 1 on 1 match this all star weekend"


Have ya'll seen someone play 1 on 1? Do you know how long a 1 on 1 game can last? Or how short it can actually be? It'll be Lebron taking a bunch of layups and KD taking bunch of jump shots and every once in a while sneak a layup/dunk in.


Ya'll boring. Straight up.

What happens the year after when you got Jeff Green playing Darius Morris? **** still going to be entertaining?


If you want that, go watch MIA play OKC on youtube.

 

[Bert.]

 

[osh kosh bosh]

How about a series of half court game 3-3 game with traditional college rivalries with an "old timer/legend" on each team?


example duke unc...


Grant Hill
Kyrie Irvin
Mason Plumlee

vs

Rasheed
Ty Lawson
Tyler Hansbrough


?

 

[PRIME]

You know its ******* true.

Ain't nobody going to watch 1 on 1 games in all star weekend. Lebron vs KD will be the only one watched.



And you know damn well Lebron ain't taking part in any all star activities anyways..


Son is going to request a million dollars to play 1 on 1.

yep. its just bad tv and the fact that teams will never let it happen. I can see TNT cutting it down midway and saying next point wins. 

 

[Bert.]

How is it true when its what people want to see? best against the best in 1 on 1?

it wouldnt take that long and would be talked about for a long time. Why do you think people always wonder who would win 1 on 1 with all these players and you actually get to see it? live?

you sound mad for some reason but any REAL basketball fan would love to see Lebron vs Durant

 

[darthska]

[quote name="JJ Watt"]They need to do a 3 v 3 tourney.

First to 8/10, losers ball.

12-18 players.

Shoot for capt.[/quote]Was just talking about this earlier at work. Totally agree.

 

[fantastic4our]

Exactly. The last 3 should have had to face off. It was okay up until then. It doesn't usually get real until then.

 

[rck3sactown]

B Ball Blasphemy. SAC. YALL BETTER REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! Kings! Y'all look like lakers!!! #Soulsold?

C-Webb not happy with the whole Shaq/Kings thing 

 

[Bert.]

maybe not

 

[rocky437]

It does say something about all-star Saturday night that most of the non-participating all-star players weren't in attendance and the celebs that got the most camera time were Drake and Nelly.

all of this.

Oh ok. So I'm not a real basketball fan because I don't want to see a 1 on 1 game in all star weekend?


Right. Get off you high chair, baby basketball king.

Nobody is mad, I'm just keeping it 100. Have we not seen the best vs the best? In the NBA finals?

Watching Lebron vs KD is something you want to see in practice, or in a summer league. Not a main event.


Nobody is buying plane tickets, getting hotel rooms, taking off of work,etc etc. To go see a 1 on 1 game.


You're boring bruh.

Thats like saying, "they should make layup lines and half court shots an All Star Weekend event"


"LEBRON JAMES. THE 2015 NBA ALL STAR 1 ON 1 CHAMPION"

That **** doesn't even sound right....


If anything, it sounds like a daytime event like the other stuff they have going on during the all star weekend most people don't even watch. Lebron and KD wouldn't even take the **** seriously. It would never be a main event. And you sound like you just want to see your NBA 2k blacktop fantasy become a reality...

 

[picasso swerve]

1 on 1 or 3 on 3 will never happen cause:

1. Management woudnt want their players hurt.

2. Players wouldnt wanna get hurt either and just do a half assed game.

What about the dunk contest be some kind of game of horse? 

 

[captainjackson]

1 on 1 will never happen, players ego's are too big for them to let the whole world see them possibly get embarrassed by someone.

 

[sea manup]

go with the idea of having an all nba flop team at the end of each year

then every allstar saturday they force everyone on the last year's all flop team to play 1v1 call your own fouls

could be entertaining
