Funny how Bosh is back above 20 points despite being older and injured this year with LeBron gone and DWade out for like half of their games.

I’m overwhelmed by your knowledge of basketball, you should change you name to red auerbach.

Sorry to hear about this as well.
Loved his game. Nevermind the stretch-4, he was a break-your-ankles-4 which even still sounds crazy.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow kenny smith on the broadcast, and then over the PA in the whole area should be fired and blackballed from the entertainment industry. Seriously, ken smith is the most obnoxious buffoon on television and he doesn’t realize the only reason he has a job at all is because Barkley. That jackass yelling over everything kinda ruined the 3pt contest and dunk contest.
Hold on Kenny smith is more obnoxious and more of a buffoon than charles Barkley?

Charles says stupid things, but does not yell and carry on in a obnoxious manner the way smith does.
I don’t think there is anyone more obnoxious and stupid than Barkley. Worst part is he gets away with it
I’d take Barkley any day of Smith
No discussion of the competition?
I thought Lavine was one of the best Dunkers I’ve seen in the competition in a while. He put down most dunks in one attempt (big to me) and made it look effortless. The attempt after attempt really kills it for me.
It was also fun to eat Curry go 27/30 in the skills.

27/34
25/30 still the record. Don’t get fooled by the inflated point values of having an entire rack of money balls.
I was underwhelmed with the whole weekend.
The dunk contest was impressive. Best in a long time.

Agreed. The showmanship in recent years had definitely hurt it. I still remember the year Kenny worked with Blake griffin and brought out a choir for one of his dunk. Made me want to turn it off
So Kobe is eyeing a “rebirth”
Seriously, all he’s doing is delaying the Lakers inevitable rebuild.

He’s Ferrari with 200k miles, it’s not going to be reliable transportation, or efficient when it does work (ie. that contract)
Chris Bosh could miss the rest of the season

Shitty.
I thought he was done as an allstar after his first injury. Now I think it’s 90% certain he’ll be average for the remainder of his career

Will always believe his getting MVP was bullshit, but the kid could obviously play. Watched him during his first preseason back after the acl tear and thought he was done as a force as well. At this point he’s gotta consider retirement. His body clearly can’t handle the grind.
Looks like Mason passed away the other day. R.I.P.
Had floor tickets to Rockets/Nets the other day. As a native Houstonian I always want the Rockets to do well, but if Harden wins the MVP it will be total bullshit. He plays such inefficient basketball. He’ll never be more than a good numbers on a good (not great) team guy, at least as the first option.
The Nets got a ballplayer in Markel Brown.
