NBA All Star chat here

2023 NBA All Star Weekend (Feb 20 @ Vivint Arena, Salt Lake City)

Was always going to happen but the best performing front court player is coming off the bench in the All star game

Not sure about Derrick White’s maths there

Good win by the suns without one of the leagues 70 point scorers

Two Lees make a (Wain) right.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

He’s a solid bench big in the NBA

Australia's Jon Koncak more like it lol

Definitely a thoroughly deserved win by Phoenix no doubt, can't really complain at all but vent at his bad our bench and shooters were today (testament to Monty's coaching and the Suns players)

Wish Tatum would stop pleading and arguing with the refs too, especially when the game is over for all intents and purposes.

Tried to apply some BODMAS I believe

Landale had 9 and 7 in 12 minutes.

Horford and Williams had 9 and 16 between them in a combined 61 minutes.

Landale makes 1.5 million this season.

Horford and Williams make an approx 37 million between them this season.

A strange take.

Putrid Boston. Didn’t come to play…..Suns B team did it with a leg in the air.

Decker is a fine player but christ he makes some infuriating lapses of judgement at times. Drives me nuts.

Landale slander aside (probably more another childish meltdown from really) take my hat off to The Suns, definitely the most impressive performance from a visiting team at the Garden this season (esp as you say without 2 of your stars and some incredibly biased officiating, which I found embarrassing tbh)

Intrigued what you will do with Ayton before the trade deadline ..

 

[tombomb]

Irving just had to play hard for another couple of months and he would have had the Nets + 10 other teams willing to give him a long term max.

Instead he decides to remind everyone what he is actually like.

****, what a diva

Throwdown at Target (centre) ?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Struth.

 

[tombomb]

*, what a diva

For all the nonsense, drama, attention seeking ... the guy just might be really dumb.

Might be? That ship sailed long ago… he’s a dumb ass

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I say this through gritted teeth, I know believe Embiid deserves to start the ASG over Tatum. JoJo has been putting up insane numbers and not had some down performances (least not as many) as JT has

Dunno what else to say really.

Off to Melbourne City game shortly.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Didn’t count but looked good!

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

I think this tweet is from peternorth


This is also a factor to consider at the deadline.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

It's a real shame that Suggs got ejected for saving Rivers' life because he was impacting this game so much. He's really finding some form lately, even if the boxscores don't show it.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

For good measure, the play before the fight, where something was said

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I wouldn't be surprised if Phoenix trade for Kyrie, esp if the new owner wants to make a splash.. Got assets like Ayton, other role players and future picks to

Arizona is one of those Cray Cray Wild West Towns that would be more willing to put up with his shenanigans I dare say.

Move Booker to the three spot once Booker returns and start Bridges off in the sixth man role

Fair bit of razzle dazzle and fire-power to those Suns if that happens.

Btw I think the Suns would try get back Claxton in the deal too somehow
Seems like win win for everyone!

Markelle Fultz had a reaction!

Mikal Bridges as 6th man?

nahnah has revealed his true identity

God knows what Rivers said, but Bamba comes off the bench to throw punches and we somehow get the worst of it (3 players ejected, including McDaniels who you can see gets tied up by a ref immediately and does nothing).

Hope the players who jumped off the bench escape suspension, especially in light of Brooks' woefully inadequate 1 game suspension for 'nutting' Spida.

 

[peternorth]

Couple of reasons here.

1. He sees rudy take a few dribbles. Thinks **** this shit.
2. Rudy then nutmegs antman. wtf. That fully set Rivers off
3. Heard Mo unimpressed that Rivers was mockingly singing "Soy capitan. Soy capitan. Bam-ba-bamba. Bam-ba-bamba"
