CP3 was on pace for 42 pts and 48 assistssleeper;1781529 wrote:The all-star game is a waste of time. Basically just players launching the ball down court and laying it up or chucking 3 point shots.
I was hoping Paul George would break Wilt's 42 point record just to solidify how much of a joke the game has become. Pretty incredible in the no defense game that a player hasn't scored more than 41 since Wilt.
I guess I would prefer if they at least tried to make it a real game. I'm good with some showmanship and maybe some lax defense like not taking charges and tough on the ball defense but at least some semblance of a game would be nice.Ironman92;1781544 wrote:CP3 was on pace for 42 pts and 48 assists
But only played 16 min
7'0 with just post skills isn't very dominant anymore because 6'9 athletes are everywhere.Spock;1781595 wrote:Total lack of a big man anywhere in the NBA
So no room for Wilt, Russel, Shaq, Ewing, Robinson, Jabar, Hakeem, Malone, Walton????Ironman92;1781598 wrote:7'0 with just post skills isn't very dominant anymore because 6'9 athletes are everywhere.
Probably not, since those guys are too old to play in today's game.Spock;1781603 wrote:So no room for Wilt, Russel, Shaq, Ewing, Robinson, Jabar, Hakeem, Malone, Walton????
George did get a wide open 3 with about 1 minute left in the 4th that he could have dunked but instead missed the 3. After that, they started double teaming him.Azubuike24;1781582 wrote:Funny how they double-teamed George in the last minute so he couldn't get the record. They would've given up free dunks to everyone else.
Sure, but I think to dominate like they did would be marginally more difficult as the size, breed and athleticism continues to increase.Spock;1781603 wrote:So no room for Wilt, Russel, Shaq, Ewing, Robinson, Jabar, Hakeem, Malone, Walton????
Bill Russell would score 50 every night against someone like Gay.Azubuike24;1781619 wrote:The argument goes both ways. Take an uber-athletic 6'10 guy like Rudy Gay who can play the 2, 3 or 4 and put him in the 1950's, without any other adjustments, he would be a freak of nature. He's only a decent NBA player in this era.
You're completely missing his point but I'm not surprised.Spock;1781636 wrote:Bill Russell would score 50 every night against someone like Gay.
Yeah he basically admitted that when he said outside 5-6 of them, he wouldn't be able to distinguish the others from car salesmen. I'd be interested to know of the 25 or so playing, which 20 he wouldn't be able to recognize.like_that;1781643 wrote:Ccrunner must be bored to bring his act to the NBA thread.

Ok fine...Rudy Gay is 6'6Azubuike24;1781633 wrote:Semantics, haha. The point remains the same.
That's a nice pickup for them.wildcats20;1782147 wrote:Markieff Morris has been traded to Washington.
Was Lance actually a cancer in LA? I never read/saw anything saying he was. I know he wasn't playing much.Midstate01;1782159 wrote:LA gets Jeff green and gets rid of part of their team cancer in Lance Stephenson.
