I gotta roll with DSJ. Although Bridges is dope in his own right, Dennis just has bounce, flair and an arsenal of dunks. He's just gotta be smart and not hit the big stuff too early.

I expected more from DSJ tbh. The Diallo dunk over Shaq was dope.regardless of the blatant push off. Speaking of...the push off by DJ, wth? He can clear Wade easy. Seems like he got tired real quick? Which is crazy because over the summer he was doing insane shit after workouts and runs. Just goes to show how brutal an NBA season can be!

All star game was an absolute farce. Why not just throw 10 guys out there and let them do dunks. It's ridiculous.

all star game was great hah. i loved it. defense wasn't as bad as i expected.

that game was all 3's. not easy to run up the score that high with so many 3's. they were lighting it up!!

also curry's pass to giannis.. and giannis's finish.. insanity. :ibjumping: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Nah it was shooting practice. Lillard got me mildly interested with his 3's and yeah Giannis's finish was ridiculous.

I just miss the days when it was an actual competitive game. I mean just look at how Kobe plays T-Mac after he gets blocked early. It's not as "pretty" but there's actual pride here.

yea that was a good game, intense. i don't recall most of them being like that tho. i also remember jordan getting annoyed and them playing hard that year. but i seem to remember tons of weak allstar games.

lebron doesnt look so good, doesn't have that bounce nor the touch.... missed a few dunks, and some of his freight train dunks he didnt get off the ground much and was close to missing the dunk

dno he was probably holding back alot. he's smart when it comes to that stuff. he's gearing up to try and get LA into the playoffs (need a big run) so I imagine he had that in his mind, ie don't get hurt/reinjure the groin etc.
