The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Why would anyone play a game that doesn’t count at anything less than 100%?

Not disagreeing. Just here to post funny stuff at times but you are right

I rather my guy not play in AS game and be ready for the stretch run instead of playing in the AS game and not being available the first couple games after

The shorthanded Knicks will likely get stomped in Cleveland tonight.
It's their 2nd game of a b2b after last night's (much needed) OT win in NYC.
I'm thinking a loss of at least 25 pts...unless the Cavs decide to rest some of their regs.

He’s played in 20 of them. I’m sure it still means a lot to him but no reason to play in them at this point in his career

Yup screw the game, screw the fans, that’s the mentality now days. A clear sign that the money has simply gotten to be too much. I can see all sides of this though, it’s clear the league just needs to give up all star weekend.

So players should value AS game over the stretch run if they don't feel 100%? Yeah that makes a lot of sense lol

All I’m saying is the reason last night was so special is the best players in the world were laying it totally and completely on the line. The league needs to figure out a way to make that happen. As fans we never get the absolute best game that could be played.

Garland got to be high!

That's the point of the olympics. Would you like to rewatch USA/Serbia or USA/France?

Hockey only felt the need to do that because they refuse to let their players play in the olympics lol

Fire thibs

dude can’t get his team up to play

Injures no excuse!

 

[bksballer89]

Hockey all star game been just as bad which is why they felt the need to even do this but people will continue to ignore that point and also the point that the NHL stopped letting their players particpate in the olympics which is why this was even a big deal

Also good luck to the NBA getting 10+ players from 3 different countries to come from their home country for a 3 game run. Most of France team for example doesn't play in the NBA. Same can be said for Serbia

We get international competition every 2 years

The Olympics is nothing in basketball because the best foreign players are from far more countries than in hockey. A USA vs Canada hockey game is better than any Olympic basketball game we will ever see.

What would you like me to do with this? I still don't want NBA players playing 3-4 games during AS break after just playing basketball for 4.5 months already. Once again it is called ALL STAR BREAK for a reason

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs going big time belt to ass on the Knicks right now

Then take a break I guess. All I know is 25 years ago we got to see something that was MUCH closer to what I saw last night. Truly the best players in the world on the floor at once and trying. One real game is all that is needed.

What did Canada win? Did they get a medal or anything? Or was it just a glorified exhibition tournament

It was better 25 years ago.

But don’t kid yourself

They never played defense for more than a few minutes in the all star game.
