makes sense I forgot he was in the main game... etc. It was weird in isolation... but context is everything.
Maybe the Spurs know they have no shot this year with Kawhi, not only not coming back this year, but possibly never wearing a Spurs jersey every again?
If Spurs were optimistic about their chances this year and if they were trying to do everything they can to get a top 4 seed, there's no way they send LaMarcus home vs. Jazz and Nuggets right before a 10 day break. He was going to have plenty of time to rest.
Shocking that Kawhi didn't make the All Star team. Yao Ming made without playing more than 5 games in a season. Kobe made it while playing a total of 6 games. Spurs fans have to start pulling their weight around here. If Kawhi was a laker/Clipper, this probably doesn't happen. But ya know, why don't super stars want to play for the Spurs?
This probably had more to do with Pop than anything, yall are nuts if you think Pop wasn't the instigator of this bull in the first place.
Touches carrying this trash roster to the 3rd seed, been an absolute iron man in terms of health, logging heavy minutes carrying the load on both offense and defense, and people want to gripe about a few minutes in a casual exhibition game that he deserves.
Meanwhile our franchise player holding himself out because he wants to move to Cali...
I'm sorry Lamarcus, these corpulent fans don't realize what they got in you
Cheers man.
LA looks like he's in great shape
This.
Fat Antonians need to chill a little bit.
Exactly! I don’t even know how these people can think he’d just specifically “I don’t wanna play these next two games”. Umm no, I’m really sure the medical staff and coaches had the decision making in this as well.
For the record, I'm glad LMA made it into the All-Star game, and definitely believe he deserves to be there. He's been the Spurs rock this whole season...and frankly, the reason there is even a glimmer of hope left in it.
I still think it's shady to miss the two games immediately before the ASG...and then still play in it.
I will concede that he's not likely to play big minutes, and obviously won't be going full speed or full aggression, especially on defense. That is different than an actual NBA game, which his body may not have been ready for.
If he comes back immediately after the break and is ready to go 100%, then I'm fine with it.
Strange. Maybe they made these before the season started, or before anyone knew he would miss this much time.
it's just merchandise to sell to KL fans
Nothing to really enjoy in allstar week tbh. The last good one was when Iggy and JRich were competing in the dunk contest. Now the allstar game just means a week to not to be able to watch any decent basketball.
He get's hated in here for lame reasons hence the nickname touches. Spur fans were spoiled by Duncan and don't realize Duncan is not typical of a superstar player. Duncan did not care about stats but just winning which is not indicative of 99 percent of star players. ST hates LMA because LMA cares about stats but fails to realize all the top players in the league cares about their personal stats. I have seen plenty of Warrior games where Kerr plays his starters in garbage time so they can pad their stats. I have seen Lebron play in garbage time this year to pad his stats.

Oladipo is so flat out talented... Gifted
Kobe and Yao had the Chinese vote. Kawhi doesn't.Shocking that Kawhi didn't make the All Star team. Yao Ming made without playing more than 5 games in a season.

Man Paul George had an awful 3 point contest
7 or 9 points, i can't remember
Worst of the crew so far, I believe.Man Paul George had an awful 3 point contest

Booker with a 28
Go away Klanus
and klay with a strong challenge at 25.Booker with a 28
Booker set the 3-point contest record too (under the current rules)
Ferrqri got 25 I believ qnd he was coasting tbh
That was a hot round for him. He was the only one tonight who reminded me of the OG three-point champs.
Dude is gonna be a force once he gets onto a squad that is not the NBA's development team.
