Post by: MVPPierceNoJoke on February 17, 2013, 08:46:13 PM

Too much singing. This game is already over its singing allotment.

KG is a warrior, but looks too old for this type of game.

Who told Ne-Yo not to lip-sync? He was HORRIBLE! I wish KG wasn't playing b/c I'm bored already!!
Title: Re: 2013 All star game
Post by: Who on February 17, 2013, 09:07:35 PM
C: Tyson
F: Bosh
F: Melo
G: LeBron
G: Kyrie

That is a lovely lineup for the East.

Well, the NBA has to give the younger generation what they want... crappy mainstream music done by people devoid of true musical talent.

Exactly, how can you blame the NBA?  95% of mainstream shows are disgusting and showcase 0 talent.

Irving's game is so awesome to watch.  I hope in a few years he dedicates himself to passing, he could do a lot of damage with a Steve Nash hesitation-type dribble (probably already the best handle in the NBA).

Eventually surpassed by Noah blocking his own shot with the bottom of the backboard.

I like how Chris Paul is playing. Trying to get everyone involved. How a PG should play in an ASG.

Haha, oh boy, Chris Bosh trying to break Blake Griffin down off the dribble from 25 feet. That was always ending badly. Airball.

I think Kevin Durant is going to break the record for All-Star Game MVPs.

Durant scores so freely and within the flow of the game. Racks 'em up. He is going to have so many performances where he scores 25-35 points.

What is the current record? 4 ASG MVPs? I think Durant smashes that one.

All Star Weekend has become a joke, from the atrocity that is All Star Saturday night to the god-awful singing performances.

The only event I remotely enjoy is the Rising Stars Challenge.  And this year's was ruined by Sully's exclusion and then injury.

It really comes down to stars being pansies and not competing Saturday night.  I mean, really, LeBron, Westbrook, Wall, etc. could and should compete in the dunk contest.  Dr. J, MJ, and even Kobe have done it.

Odd trend.. Alicia Keys has been crazy off tune the last 4-5 times I've seen her perform live on various shows.  I'd stick her on the bench behind beyonce and Rihanna

Not digging the Alicia Keys show.  Looks like she's another one who can only sing when she has studio equipment to help her out.

she can actually sing and play the piano very well without all that crap. I'm disappointed she has decided to go with mailing in her performances.

It's all for fun, and I enjoy it.
I mean, the Rising Stars was my favorite, because those players are certainly gonna be stars in the future. Shved was awesome and I see a big future for him! Kyrie showed his HOF skills in the Three-Point shootout and against Brandon Knight (LOL)

The Dunk Contest wasn't too good, but I enjoyed the finals and those were some nice athletic dunks. The missed dunks were just.. bad.

The skills challenge and shooting stars were never good anyways, they were just fun to watch I suppose. Maya Moore is good, obvz.

And... tonight we just get to see some nice plays we've never seen before like Paul->Howard or something. The best part could be the end when it's a close game and the best basketball in the world

After working in recording studios for several years, if anything studio equipment overexposes your flaws.

Assistant engineers spend days on end in studios with autotune plugins and pitch altering software to fix the vocal takes from these girls....

The live performance just reveals what the voice is like before the tuning.

Not really. It reveals what the voice has become AFTER tuning. Singing music in studios isn't supposed to be great music, but rather music that is easy to adjust. I'd be willing to say singers are worse after they are exposed to years and years of studio-work, when singing without studios...

Oooh, nice high arcing fadeaway by LeBron over Durant's long reach along the baseline.
Title: Re: 2013 All star game
Post by: Who on February 17, 2013, 10:25:40 PM
That was an awful pass by Wade. Down at Melo's shins.

I don't think I have ever seen a player throw a pass to his teammates shins as much as I have seen D-Wade do it. It used to drive me nuts when his post entry passes to Shaq where down around knees.

I think this is pretty close to the East's best lineup

C: Bosh
F: LeBron
F: Melo
G: Wade
G: Kyrie

I might go with Paul George over D-Wade. Aadded size and length defensively + better long distance jump-shooter. D-Wade's superior dribble penetration and shot-creation isn't necessary with LeBron, Kyrie and Melo out there.

I think George may be a better complementary piece versus Wade.

Deng, George, Brook Lopez. Is that Jrue? Yeah, Holiday. And Tyson. Ugly basketball.

Both teams playing only one big man. Bosh for the East. Griffin for the West.

Lots of speed and quickness out there. Little rim protection.
Title: Re: 2013 All star game
Post by: Who on February 17, 2013, 11:12:55 PM
I think CP3's superior decision making at PG will be the deciding factor late in this game.

West look more organized offensively. East a bit haphazard. Like they are taking turns. West playing together as a unit. Doing it together.

This crowd is so dull. I remember past ASG's where the crowd used to be loud especially in the last minute of the game.

Also CP3 should win MVP and Durant should be runner up.

Happy that Chris Paul won the award. He was the difference between the two sides late in the game and he played a great team orientated game all night long. Got everyone involved.
