    Work ethic and mental toughness wins. Bari!

    I was a Cason Wallace guy before it was cool.

    Stone should maybe give some of these G-Leaguers a chance, we could use the shooting

    He’s a mental midget. In fact, his deficiencies get magnified at clutch time. Amen Thompson picks his game up (even with no outside shot) at clutchtime, Bari is fumbling balls out of bounds, making stupid passes and taking ill advised shots or just missing wide open threes. Lord help us if he ever has to make two clutch free throws to win a game. He may have a good work ethic and should for the millions of dollars he gets paid, but he always overthinks and stresses out when it’s time to win a game.

    This broadcast was so annoying listening to them drool over Wemby. It was funny since he was one of the biggest reasons they lost. Dude couldn't grab a rebound to save his life and turned it over trying to do fancy plays.

    More Wemby and Cason Wallace.

    Wemby tried to go through the legs of the defender twice (!) - both TOs. Then a bunch of other garbage.
    Wallace basically shot a 3 every possession (and missed)

    Nobody else did much right or wrong

    Forgot this was tonight.
    Found a box score and didn't see any turnovers for Jabari so I guess it's a win that he didn't dribble the ball off his foot or anything. yay!

    Even went 2-4.

    I saw about a minutes worth of highlights, and they weren't even playing as hard as the celebrity game. I knew it wasn't going to be maximum effort, cut throat basketball but it looked like they just woke up from a coma. Maybe it picked up later in the game but I don't know how anyone could watch it long enough to find out.

    They should probably just end these games and even the all star ones. If they are not capable of playing hard then just don’t play.

    They're all under stern instructions by their organizations not to get injured.

    no doubt. I don’t really watch any All-Star games. I would, however, probably watch all of them if there was ever a way that the stars could go all out. That would be very cool to watch.

    If the stars decided to go 100% and play 1's or even 2's, it would be much watch TV.

    Imagine Embiid against Jokic.....Lebron playing Durant.

    Would never happen as the stars would never want to put their reputation on the line.

    What a snoozefest...Jabari got blocked and just parked in the corner or tried to set a screen but his team was playing dumb AF. Wemby was lazy and they shot threes, well one guy was shooting 90% of the time and didn't get benched. If they don't play defense, what's the point of these games?
