Finally All-Star Weekend is over

jumplvlan23 · 02-15-2010, 12:27 AM

Anyone else glad that this weekend is over and done with?

I can't stand it one bit.
Let's get the second half of the season started! Some big games on this week.

Its nice to have a little break from NBA ball. However; I agree with you I dont' find anything about the All Star Game interesting.

jrob23 · 02-15-2010, 12:49 AM

WTF

This was the best all-star game i've ever seen

And Bosh was a serious force out there, and the East won

How can you complain

friday and saturday both sucked w/ the exception of the 3 point competition, only cause of Paul Pierce's luck and unparalleled arrogance

i dont know what it is, but the whole weekend just reeks of arrogance and start studded, over the top, 'look at me' cheese.
its lost its appeal for me as a fan of celebrating the best, and its just turned into being about singularity and showing up everyone else.
guys seem so into themselves and just want to showcase themselves at the expense of the game and the fans.

in short, the the whole allstar weekend, and game especially has turned into being about the players, then being about the fans... and thats where the problem is.

That is what the All-Star weekend is. It's one big ego circle jerk of over payed, under-used talent.

We're just noticing this now...

Too early to be relieved. We have to survive the trade deadline and the escalating speculations

CBA · 02-15-2010, 07:17 AM

Highlights of the weekend...

Alicia Keys/Shakira performance
Jennings Gumbi
D.Blair off the backboard slam
Bill Walton sighting

Ball · 02-15-2010, 08:46 AM

Nate wins even though he was complete garbage.

Bosh was a force out there only bested by Wade and they showcase fucking Lebron, he didn't do anything except chuck shots yet he needs to be showcased because hes the King! Bah...

Chris Bosh won them their game, not even 1 highlight. Losers. The media took several shots at the raps too.

creative1mm · 02-15-2010, 10:22 AM

it was a pretty good all-star, probably the best one i have seen...
bosh played good, almost got mvp

the highlight of that game for me, was when barkley said that Chris Bosh is the most underated player in the league

The worst All Star Weekend of all

The All-Star game was the best one in awhile, but Friday-Saturday were horrible!

I usually expect very little. I watched a bit of the rooks/soph game and found it much easier to watch over past years. And the AS game was better than most as well. Am I the only one that found Alicia Keyes to be Alicia off-Keys?

She might have been but I was busy being mesmerized by her beauty.

it looked to me like keys was a bit flat, but that's what happens with a crappy sound stage in a gigantic arena when you actually sing, unlike usher and the others that straight-up lip sync'ed their way through the performacnce. it's a lot easier to be on-key when you sing it in studio, put it through melodyne and broadcast the recording through the stadium p.a. than when you actually perform on stage in such a big venue.
