All-Star Weekend Live Thread

[timvp]

Celebrity game, featuring Sean Elliott and Bruce Bowen, about to start.

[Robz4000]

They on the same team? Also god damn how'd Kevin Hart get MVP with that stat-line?

[Dex]

Sean and Bruce playing for the East?

[timvp]

Eliott and Bowen on the same team.

For the first time ever, FWIW.

Usain Bolt also on the team.

Coached by Westchuck :lol

[timvp]

Eliott and Bowen on the same team.

For the first time ever, FWIW.

Usain Bolt also on the team.

Coached by Westchuck :lol

[BatManu20]

Sean and Bruce on the same Squad. I'm hoping Elliott goes off from 3!

[Dex]

I wonder how many shots Westbrook will take as coach?

[BatManu20]

How is Russell Westbrook a coach..... smh

[Brazil]

Have you seen Timmy interview ? He called Matt the red mamba !!! :lmao

[timvp]

Elliott looks the same a dozen years later :lol

[BatManu20]

I can't stand Stuart Scott as the host of this game tbh..

[Brazil]

Have you seen Timmy interview ? He called Matt the red mamba !!! :lmao

Globally confirming the red mamba is a choker :lol he's nervous at the idea to be nervous

[jeebus]

I've seen a clip of Bolt play; he can't.

[Chinook]

It seems sort of degrading to the WNBA players to be in this.

[BatManu20]

I hope we get to see some finger wagging from Mutumbo

[timvp]

Elliott needs to get revenge on Drexler for 18 years ago, tbh

[Dex]

Kinda weird that they went with Spurs legends vs. Rocket legends for this.

Drexler & Mutumbo vs Elliott and Bowen.

[Dex]

Holy shit, those were some ugly shoes.

[timvp]

I could have lived a full life without having to see Westbrook bending over in leopard pants, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Kevin Hart calling out Westbrook for his terrible pants haha

[jeebus]

Kevin Hart calling out Westbrook for his terrible pants haha
Well, he's MVP in my book now

[Dex]

Kudos to Westbook and Harden for being the first people to make me glad I'm NOT rich.

I'll keep my Adidas, thanks.

[Budkin]

Wow this looks like its gonna be turrble.

[timvp]

Bowen starting...

[Budkin]

Are they using a kid's ball?

[14dave]

Hello, is there a link somewhere to watch the game?

[Budkin]

LOL watching Bowen purposely play bad defense.

[BatManu20]

I'm ready for Elliott tbh

[Budkin]

The scale of NBA players is really apparent in this game. Bowen looks like he's 6' 10" and Mutombo looks like a damn giant.

[BatManu20]

Arne Duncan would be dominating if he wanted to. Also, Common sucks.

[Budkin]

Bruuuuuce

[spursmartyr]

Since when did he decide he was a good top of the key shooter? :rolleyes

[Dex]

Since when did he decide he was a good top of the key shooter? :rolleyes

Bowen just taking what he can get. This obviously isn't a game for him to show off his defense, and none of these guys are going to drive and kick out to the corner for three.

[hooperflash]

Loving the ”trash talk” from Bruce LOL.

[DesignatedT]

I'm always amazed by the inability of the wnba players in these games. You'd think they'd eventually take over a little but never do.

I know they aren't really trying but still.

[Budkin]

Sean :lmao

[Dex]

Wow, Elliott hits nothing on that three. :lol

[hooperflash]

This is basketball, no room for being classy! Block whenever possible :lol

[Dex]

After watching Spurs basketball all my life, this game makes my eyes bleed.

[BatManu20]

Sean Elliott blocking the girl LOL

[Budkin]

Bolt with 4 steps and the dunk.

[Budkin]

Man I miss 90s bball

[8FOR!3]

Bolt with 4 steps and the dunk.

He's still dunked in more "NBA" games than you and me.

[hooperflash]

Sean Elliott blocking the girl LOL

Not just any girl, Mya Moore(;

[chapnis]

What a joke, Spoelstra chooses Bosh to replace Rondo in the starting line-up.

[BatManu20]

What a joke, Spoelstra chooses Bosh to replace Rondo in the starting line-up.

Yea.. but what'd you expect?

[chapnis]

Yea.. but what'd you expect?

A guard to replace a guard perhaps.

[Budkin]

Sean and Clyde throwing down.

[Texas_Ranger]

trade elliott!!!......oh wait.

[8FOR!3]

Sean Elliott legitimately looks the same lol. He doesn't even look out of shape. He's just probably a lot slower and not very good anymore.

[BatManu20]

Bruce with the airball lol

[Budkin]

Damn Bruce with the airball :lol

[siraulo23]

is this on ilp?

[Budkin]

K this game is just too hard to watch.

[hooperflash]

is this on ilp?

ESPN

[DesignatedT]

Arne Duncan needs to take this shit over tbh

[cd98]

Unwatchable game.

[hooperflash]

This East are playing like their coach, barely any ball movement, relying on dumb jumpers.

[Chinook]

These people finish almost as badly as Danny Green.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi with Team Chuck in the Rising Stars Game

https://o.twimg.com/1/proxy.jpg?t=FQQVBBgpaHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0cGljLmNvbS9zaG 93L2xhcmdlL2M0MzM2ZC5qcGcUBBYAEgA&s=qbo7z4qKYZ2lZvjfY-H51bHnbDkCOEQZA2Nl5M1Fvg4

[Richie]

This game would be awesome if they mic'd up all the players and you could hear some funny trash talk

[naico]

"Nobody is averaging 20 10 in this league. We need you back Kevin Love, we need someone to average 20 and 10" smh. Well prepared interview :tu

[Kool Bob Love]

Kawhi Leonard

[Libri]

This game would be awesome if they mic'd up all the players and you could hear some funny trash talk

Yes but they would have to put it on HBO.

[RD2191]

damn, the kid got some style

[Obstructed_View]

What a joke, Spoelstra chooses Bosh to replace Rondo in the starting line-up.

If I'm the coach of the all star team, I'm starting my guy. Fuck everyone else.

BTW, didn't Pop start Duncan a couple of years ago?

[chapnis]

If I'm the coach of the all star team, I'm starting my guy. Fuck everyone else.

BTW, didn't Pop start Duncan a couple of years ago?

Yeah, but it made positional sense (Duncan for Yao) and there wasn't already 2 Spurs in the starting line-up. Not that it really matters in the end.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, but it made positional sense (Duncan for Yao) and there wasn't already 2 Spurs in the starting line-up. Not that it really matters in the end.

The Heat are the only good team in the east. Makes sense to me that they have three starters. Makes a whole lot more sense than two Lakers and two Clippers starting in the west.

[naico]

Lopez looks like a robot and sounds like one.

[Richie]

Elliott throwing some air balls. Nobody wants a blow out, I wanna see some of the old guys take over the game and make it close

[DesignatedT]

Didn't Doc do something similar with the celtics players when he coached the ASG. No problem with Spo rewarding his guy.

[Kulo]

Didn't Doc do something similar with the celtics players when he coached the ASG. No problem with Spo rewarding his guy.
He brought them off the bench together.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I'm sure it's already been said, but as soon as I got home from work I turned this on, and low and behold - Sean is shooting, aaaaaaaaannnddd BRICK.

[Spur|n|Austin]

If I'm the coach of the all star team, I'm starting my guy. Fuck everyone else.

BTW, didn't Pop start Duncan a couple of years ago?

Yeah he did, but I think TD was chosen as a starter..

[timtonymanu]

I was out during the celebrity game. How were Sean and Bruce?

[DesignatedT]

He brought them off the bench together.

The point was coaches have always done certain things regarding their players.

[timtonymanu]

Let's go Team Chuck!

[Manu-20]

Alright lets do this KAWHI for MVP.

[capek]

glhf kawhi :tu

[RD2191]

lets do it kawhi

[siraulo23]

rising star challenge comin up

[chapnis]

I wish the players still wore their team tops in the all-star game. I reckon that looked awesome.

[loveforthegame]

Hope Leonard gets a chance to shine with all these other guys who are a little more showy.

[BatManu20]

Let's go Team Chuck!

[loveforthegame]

Nice cheers for Leonard. :tu

[capek]

Would have gone to this game, but tickets were like $80 after fees for nosebleeds. Crazy. :td

[DesignatedT]

Kawhi should be able to throw some down with nobody protecting the rim!

[stxspurs]

houstons announcer is the suck

[DesignatedT]

Anything is better than Stuart Scott roaming the sidelines. So fucking annoying.

[manufan10]

Nice cheers for Leonard. :tu

There were some nice cheers for Coach Bud also.

[timtonymanu]

Leonard starting

[loveforthegame]

Those are pretty sick lineups. Happy to see Leonard starting.

[chapnis]

KAWHI!

[Flawless]

Go Leonard! :clap

[DesignatedT]

Kawhiiiiiiii

[loveforthegame]

[capek]

Ya baby!

[RD2191]

[manufan10]

alley-oop to Leonard.

[loveforthegame]

Oops. Falling for a Parsons fake.

[BatManu20]

This game has ZERO defense. This should be fun.

[manufan10]

Where's the defense? :lol

[chapnis]

I wanna see the Spurs run some alley-oops for Leonard haha

[manufan10]

Woohoo Leonard.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard again.

[capek]

Nice put back

[RD2191]

KAWHI WITH THE PUTBACK

[chapnis]

Lol this game is a joke, almost as bad as the celeb game. Now I realise why I usually don't watch the Allstar weekend.

[timtonymanu]

Leonard's the only one with his game face on,

[capek]

Ya, this is why I didn't want to pay money to see this live. :lol

[manufan10]

Some of these guys' shoes look like something Craig Sager would wear. SMH

[Libri]

How about a declining stars challenge? lol

[manufan10]

How about a declining stars challenge? lol

Celebrity game? :lol

[RD2191]

the should at least try a little on defense

[Libri]

Celebrity game? :lol

Maybe current NBA tosbs.

[GB20]

[capek]

[Libri]

Leonard 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 3

[loveforthegame]

Team Chuck looks good. :tu

[Manu-20]

Kawhi with the 3 and steal.

[chapnis]

Team Chuck looks good. :tu

Better coach ;)

[manufan10]

Kawhi is learning some bad defensive techniques out of all this.

[Two10Whitey]

Has Leonard ever pulled off an alley oop with the Spurs? It looked like he was grimacing a bit after the dunk.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard interview and smile!!

[manufan10]

Did you catch Kawhi's first ever laugh? :lol

[shyne]

Holy shit I think he smiled!

[Dex]

Team Shaq getting nailed.

[ace3g]

Thomas on fire

[timtonymanu]

Zeller looking bad out there.

[Manu-20]

Zeller looking bad out there.

Wish he was looking this bad when he was playing us.

[chapnis]

Lol Team Chuck slaying.

[manufan10]

Zeller looking bad out there.


Wish he was looking this bad when he was playing us.

He's looking worse in an all-star game with no defense than against the Spurs. smh :lol

[loveforthegame]

Love Chucks team. :tu

[manufan10]

Kawhi checking back in.

[timtonymanu]

Isn't Pekovic from Minnesota a sophomore? How comes he wasn't picked for this game?

Edit: NVM He's a 3rd year.

[Arcadian]

:lmao Team Chuck shitting all over everyone who picked Team Shaq

[Kulo]

Isn't Pekovic from Minnesota a sophomore? How comes he wasn't picked for this game?
3rd year

[Manu-20]

Anyone know were Chuck is at?

[DesignatedT]

Vucevic is a real nice big. Wish the Spurs could have got their hands on him.

[8FOR!3]

How about a declining stars challenge? lol

That would be great lol. Allen Iverson, T-Mac, Stackhouse...

[timtonymanu]

That would be great lol. Allen Iverson, T-Mac, Stackhouse...

Also Marbury and Steve Francis lol

[loveforthegame]

[chapnis]

[manufan10]

Team Chuck almost hit 100 in the first half. Shoot for 200! :lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and an assist. :tu

Not as flashy as other guys but solid.

[siraulo23]

[Bill_Brasky]

Chris Webber just said "incentivized" :lol

[chapnis]

Lol team chuck is getting destroyed hopefully leonard can come out and hit a couple more 3s and dunks before the game ends.

[RD2191]

random spurs fan

[lefty]

Holy shit

This is the 2nd half?

I thought the game was over :lol

[loveforthegame]

Farried deserves MVP.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard and 1.

[manufan10]

Kawhi And-1!!

[RD2191]

and 1

[chapnis]

Faried has MVP locked up

[timtonymanu]

I wouldn't count out Thomas too.

[manufan10]

3!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard 3.

[chapnis]

Kawhi :)

[manufan10]

Another one!!

[chapnis]

The 3s aren't even in the corner :O

[Manu-20]

KAWHI taking over this game.

[timtonymanu]

Man, the Spurs seriously need to run more plays for Kawhi. I'm tired of Gary Neal getting the ball.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with a sweet showing.

[chapnis]

Man, the Spurs seriously need to run more plays for Kawhi. I'm tired of Gary Neal getting the ball.

Based on the CHI game yes. Don't base anything on this game.

[timtonymanu]

Based on the CHI game yes. Don't base anything on this game.

I'm not, but I believe Leonard is a good 4th option. He isn't one dimensional like Neal.

[GB20]

faried is playing hard in this game. he will be tired tomorrow on the dunk contest

[capek]

I'm not, but I believe Leonard is a good 4th option. He isn't one dimensional like Neal.

ya really stepping out on a limb there ;)

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

[TDfan2007]

Love watching Leonard play.

[capek]

Leonard with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Damn. Nice stat line :tu

[loveforthegame]

Block by Leonard.

[RD2191]

k block

[capek]

another steal, and nice pass :tu

[loveforthegame]

Leonard 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard isn't credited with any steals though I know he's had a couple.

[manufan10]

Is it just me or does Leonard not look interested in playing in the game? I'm actually surprised by his stats.

[Budkin]

KL for MVP

[Dex]

Is it just me or does Leonard not look interested in playing in the game? I'm actually surprised by his stats.

Leonard never looks interested in anything. :lol

[ace3g]

by the way it seemed like a few times when Kawhi scored, the announcer would say DeJuan Blair, was I just hearing things?

[manufan10]

Leonard never looks interested in anything. :lol

:lol

[loveforthegame]

NM

[ace3g]

Uncle Drew doing work

[timtonymanu]

Kyrie!

STFU C-Webb. OH NO! OH NO!

[siraulo23]

sweet move from kyrie

[Libri]

fail by Knight lol

[loveforthegame]

Nasty.

[loveforthegame]

Team Chuck baby!!

[chapnis]

That was an awesome sequence.

[capek]

Stat padder Kyrie :lol

[Brunodf]

:lolKnight

[RD2191]

TP be like Kyrie aint got shit on me

[Manu-20]

If Leonard had hit 2 of his missed 3's I think he could of had a really good chance at mvp this game.

[BatManu20]

Irving's crossover was overrated.. I had to rewind it just to make sure. Knight fell when he tried to jump and he slipped, not on the crossover..

[manufan10]

"Damn Kyrie" is trending on Twitter. :lol

[manufan10]

DeJuan Blair has the rebounding record in the Rising Stars all-star game. Suck it ST. :p:

[chapnis]

KAWHIII!

[BatManu20]

Kawhiii

[LakerHater]

WHOOA Kaboom!

[loveforthegame]

That was sweet by Leonard. Hope Pop isn't watching.

[capek]

Awesome alley oop! Got the points that tied the record :tu

[chapnis]

Give Kawhi an open dunk pls

[LakerHater]

Now its jus a dunk off??

[chapnis]

Fuck, I wanted to see Kawhi do a snazzy dunk.

[BatManu20]

Fuck, I wanted to see Kawhi do a snazzy dunk.

Same :depressed

[Arcadian]

Man, the Spurs seriously need to run more plays for Kawhi.

True statement. This game really showed his offensive ability. He looks like a 20 ppg scorer.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard:

22 minutes
20 points
8-14 FG
3-6 3 PT FG
1-1 FT
7 Rebounds
3 Assists
1 Block

[LakerHater]

Kawhi laughing it up!

[DapDaGenius]

DeJuan Blair has the rebounding record in the Rising Stars all-star game. Suck it ST. :p:

Why do people here even give a shit about Blair anymore? Suck it.

[LakerHater]

Did he not know who the MVP was??

[ace3g]

lol guy didn't know either how to pronounce Faried's name or just didn't know period who won

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi and Kenneth look like brothers.

Trade Blair + actual gold nuggets for Faried, so KL and KF can be a duo.

[Budkin]

Just caught up to the end on DVR. Kawhi so badass.

[manufan10]

:cry Why do people here even give a shit about Blair anymore? Suck it. :cry

[Slutter McGee]

Not sure why I watched this two hours of absolute shit. Should have watched cheers re-runs on netflicks.

Slutter McGee

[Budkin]

LMAO they just had the clip of Shaq barely missing Barkley's head with a haymaker. Good they can laugh about it now.

[capek]

Always liked Faried, but really like him after that interview. :tu

[Pasta Batman]

Always liked Faried, but really like him after that interview. :tu

He's a good kid. See this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/kenneth-faried-gay-rights_n_2665920.html?1360681231

Regardless, records in Rising Stars all-star game are BS anyway...

[DPG21920]

Why do people here even give a shit about Blair anymore? Suck it.

Why would you hate on Blair for no reason? He's a good dude and has overcome a lot and done a lot of good for the Spurs.

Ya. I always liked him on the court, but that was the first info I'd had on what type of person he is irl. He's exactly the type of person sports needs, along with that NFL kicker and the other couple players speaking out. Something to be proud about :tu

Who said I hated him? Just have to wonder why ppl give a shit about him(more so his "achievements")...his 23 rebounds....that are record setting for what now? Oh yeah, all-start weekend. :lmao

[Budkin]

So are most of us rooting for Bonner tonight?
