All-star game thread - Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference

PrintTruth be told, analyzing the all-star game is kind of a silly endeavor. It's a safe bet that the first quarter will be spent chasing poorly thrown alley-oop passes and watching three pointers clank off the iron.
The second quarter will see the least deserving all-stars pop up some mid-range jump shots in an effort to justify their existence. One team will compile a double digit lead before the fourth quarter, at which point both teams will start to play semi-serious ball.
David Stern will appear to say something esoteric about contraction and lockouts.
The end will see Kobe Bryant miss a lot of shots, but make two or three, which he will celebrate by making his rectal exam face. The waning minutes will see the announcers quibbling over which 10-26 shooting performance deserves the MVP award.
One of the bigs will have like 19 points and 14 rebounds on 7-8 shooting. Nobody will talk about how they should maybe be considered for MVP.
Half a dozen jokes will be made about how hungover the players are from all the partying. Did you know the game is being played in Los Angeles? It's being played in Los Angeles. There are lots of opportunities to party in Los Angeles. Did you know that? You will know that.
Shaquille O'Neal will get more screen time than all but five players playing in the game.
The half-time show will suck.

Love Tim Duncan
Everybody trying to look nice in their suits while he looks like a strangely clean homeless guy.

Blake Griffin and John Wall are the NBA’s two current golden children. So it was a foregone conclusion that they were going to win the fix-able competitions—not the three-point contest or the skills challenge, which are objectively determined/measured, but the rookie-sophomore game MVP and the dunk contest, which are “voted on”/“judged” by NBA company men. That’s why Wall won the rook-soph MVP, and why Griffin won the dunk contest.
And as you and I discussed in the other thread, Griffin was the third- or fourth-best dunker in yesterday’s contest. Yet he made it to the finals (thanks to fix-able judges) and then prevailed over McGee (thanks to a fix-able “fan” “vote”).
IME Blake shouldn't have made it out of the first round.
And on the final round the car thing was all about athleticism, because the dunk was a simple two handed alley oop. But the car was behind the dotted line and he jumper over the hood not the roof. So how can that be THE dunk of the night while Serge Ibaka gets a 45 for jumping from BEHIND the FT line in his Dr J (or Jordan) tribute.

Serge screwed himself with that stupid teddy bear thing.

Agreed...and that kid proved without a doubt that not all Asian kids are adorable.
In other news, I went back and forth on Ibaka’s free throw dunk. It was by far the furthest back anyone has ever dunked before and from that respect should have netted at least a 48 or 49. But at the same time, Jordan pretty much floated…Kemp stepped from within the FT line but he double-clutched. Dr. J was the first to ever do it. Serge did it, and did it cleanly and on his first attempt, but it was a simple leap and dunk. If he could have pulled the ball back momentarily before reaching out or done anythign to prolong the dunk, I think he would have gotten a higher score.
And I’m not sure how you could argue that Griffin shouldn’t have made it out of the first round…both of his dunks were downright scary. In the end though, the most impressive dunks on the night were both by JaVale McGee…in fact I’d say his top 3 dunks were the most impressive I’ve seen in a long time. The 2 rim, 2 ball dunk, the 3 baller, and then the under the basket reverse behind the head dunk as he was going away were ree-dic-u-lous.
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
Even Brent Barry did a thing with his legs a little bit so it didn’t look like he was just stretching his way to the rim.
I thought Blake’s best dunk was his very first miss. His body did some CRAZY contorting and it just looked…..weird. When he finally made the dunk it wasn’t nearly as strange looking as his first attempt, which would have been awesome if he made it. Same with the crazy spinning thing he was trying to do with Baron’s off-the-backboard lob.
by garrettelliott on Feb 21, 2011 9:51 AM EST up reply actions
Exactly
His first try on the attempts were awesome looking, but he didn’t make them. Once he did made them it was a watered down version of what he originally was trying to do.
In that first dunk he went in the air farther, his body was leaning towards once side and his stretch was amazing. His body floated going round to the basket, it looked beautiful. But he didn’t make it. The one he made was closer, his body was more up right and his arm shorter because he overshot the jump.
Condemned to Isolayshaun. It is Jod's will.
Either way...
dude pulled off a 1 hand to 2 hand 360 dunk while tucking the ball behind his head before throwing down pretty much as a no looker.
Totally agree with you though, he went super hard the first time and everyone in the building was like, “what…the…shit.” When he finally dunked it (the one on the side he ended up going to plan b), I think the crowd was still riding on the concept of his first try even if his successful try was slightly abridged.
I think this sets up next year well though because they could totally have a DeAndre Jordan/Blake Griffing dunk-off to see which Clipper makes it to the Dunk Contest.

I’d say McGee probably had the best dunks. But they lacked that flare I was looking for. It took a while for him to get them to work, and the they just happened. Lack of authority and power.
My favorite dunk was probably simply Griffin’s elbow hang. He took that ball and shoved it down the hoops throat! The ball didn’t stand a chance. He didn’t just dunk it, he hurled it down, through the hoop and the net, and back out like that ball needed to be punished. I like that shit. Uncontested dunks are pretty fricking lame without a show of force.
I was thinking it’d be cool if someone would bring out his teammates and run a fake play leading to some sweet power dunk. That would be better than the empty court stuff.
And practice people! Practice! BEFORE THE COMPETITION!

I think DeRozan had the best dunks. McGee’s were crazy and new but just a bit too gimmicky for my liking. I really liked DeRozan’s one-handed scoop reverse thing.

I dont think Wall is a golden boy
Hes been great but isnt getting much hype from the NBA. The NBA picks there babies through vids. Notice how every night they upload a Blake video, then a Kobe video, followed by Durant, then Dwight and Rose etc.
Ever since the decision I havent seen the NBA sucking on LBJ’s tip much ….. hmmmm
And they stay away from short guys with tats… Iverson, Ellis, Marbury…

Ordinarily, that’s spelled Vinsanity, but I like your version better. Vinceanity, as in Vince-inanity, or Vince-asininity.
Javale McGee Should Have Won
But his most dramatic dunk involved parading his mom around the scorers table. This would only work if Delonte West was a judge. Brick Tamland.
Exactly, McGee should have jumped from the line, stepped on Bieber’s face, then dunked like there was no tomorrow! That would be historic dunkage!

im more amazed by his athleticism than anything he can do with the ball. sometimes he will jump and it looks like his head is parallel with the top of the backboard.
you mean run into the paint without dribbling and try to get a foul on every play.
then after hitting 10 free throws he will start chucking up 40 ft 3 pointers and brick

Not just you. He’s dragging a crap roster and an idiot coach (insisting on a rotation that makes a weak roster even worse) to the playoffs and possibly a 50 win season. That’s amazing.
I think if he were to go to New York, I highly doubt I’d get pissed off at him. That guy has been through a lot and if there’s any player I don’t want wasting his prime, its Paul. He’s probably not the nicest guy on the planet, but he doesn’t strike me as douchey as Lebron does.

Maybe I’m drawing a blank. But how often are REAL Pg’s douchebags. Seems like if they’re good, then they have the understanding not to be douches. Otherwise they suck and are douches I guess. Much easier to be a star douche at other positions where you can demand the ball all the time and pretend to be the most awesomest thing to ever be placed on the Earth.

Aside from that, players were assholes to each other during the 80s and early 90s

Condemned to Isolayshaun. It is Jod's will.
But who will go to the Celtics???
Honestly…I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about them as a potential destination for some of these big names. Maybe its because 2012 free agency appears to be the summer of point guards and Rondo is locked through 2015 but the only two players of consequence that the Celtics have locked past 2011/2012 season are Paul Pierece (through 2013/2014) and Rondo.
Everyone else is set to expire in at the end of the 2012 season including Garnett’s $22M, Allen’s $10M, Jermaine O’Neal’s $6.2M, and Nate Robinson’s $4.5M. That’s $40M off the books right there so regardless of what happens with the CBA, the Celtics are pretty well set at PG/SF. If they’re lucky, they re-sign Perkins to a reasonable deal based on loyalty and they’ve got the C locked up too.
Yuck…I don’t think I’ve analyzed the Celtics roster this much ever. It puts a bad taste in my mouth.

i've been thinking about the celts
their return to the top has to be great for that city that suffered through the lack of good ball since basically bird retired. i dont think they will want to go back to bottom feeder status. it will be interesting to see if they can “reload” instead of rebuild in the words of JOD. ainge isnt a genius but if he pulls that off it will be quite the miracle.
Well I think he's already started off in the right direction...
by locking Rondo through 2015. Pierce’s deal will be overpriced by the time he gets to 2014 but he’ll retire a Celtic. And I could see both KG and Ray, assuming they want to keep playing, signing on after their contracts expire for way less.
The biggest question is whether they can retain Perkins. I don’t think Semih Erden will be able to fill those shoes and the rest of their bigs are old men looking for rings. If they can’t retain Perkins though, they could easily make a run at Howard after next season.

"I have an express feeling only towards women, but this is a business deal. You have no feeling. Whatever it is, time will tell.’’
“It was a fantastic meeting, trust me,” Prokhorov said, smiling. “No words, live music, excellent atmosphere. We looked into each other’s eyes. Just real man talk.”

Epic end to the game. Everything I love about the NBA.
