    Times like these make you grateful for RYNO stepping out 30 feet away from the basket and letting the playmaker do his job.

    Stephen couldn't get a shot off against Kevin Love in the Finals, and chokes away this game, too. The play was too Harden from Embiid pass, too, but Curry and Klay panicked and ran to Embiid as well.

    sigh

    Reggie: "This was from Jump Street"

    @heypartner more outdated language from Reggie.

    We may need a translator for the children.

    Overall. This All Star Weekend was all about Fergie. Last 2 min of the game was decent. The rest was overall another trash event.

    Please don’t bring the All Star Event to Houston.

    The most surprising part of all-star weekend has to be the omission of the TNT post game show on Saturday and Sunday.

    Curry is a glorified shooter. He can't run a play in the clutch unless he gets a Draymond thug life screen to get him an open shot. Clutch shooter, but not a clutch playmaker.

    I was most impressed by Joel Embiid tonight. He was already having a breakout season, but tonight he hung in there with the big boys and showed signs of dominance including that ridiculous block on Paul George.

    How many big men can guard a guy at the 3-point line and have the lateral quickness to get back in position to block a shot in the paint?



    I know Greek Freak gets all the hype and deservedly so, but Joel is going to dominate the East after LeBron.

    I know I'm a Portland homer, but I think team Steph wins if MDA would have kept him in the game for the last few minutes. He had his special mojo going on.

    Man I disagree re. just the last 2 mins of the game being decent.
    I thought the second half and most definitely the fourth quarter were great fun to watch as the defense got ramped up. Much more fan and competitive than I remember any ASG being in the past few years.

    That was the best all-star game I've seen in quite a while. Nice job NBA.

    Embiid might be the first player I've seen where all the fans love him, yet all the players hate him.
