And Ya Say Chi City: Official 2020 NBA All Star Weekend Thread #TeamLeBron vs #TeamGiannis

[jwinfield]

What we saw last night in the 4th quarter now makes this captain's selection process that much more interesting. Or rather, Giannis better not agree to that same "lets just pick the same guys voted starters in our conference" bullshyt again.

Yeah, captains gonna pick guys they wanna go to war with. Giannis ain't trying to deal with Pascal and Embiid clogging up the paint next year.

I'll chalk it up to the format being so new, but essentially, this is why they need to use the roster going forward. We all saw how turnt the game ended up being, the risk of injury increased tremendously in the end, and guys were clearly going hard. With no time to expire, it's on the coaches to rotate guys in and out.

Also, Vogel gave his starters a rest and had CP3 out there with Russ leading the comeback. Then he brought in Bron, Kawhi, Harden and AD, and I was watching to see if he was going to leave Westbrook or CP3 in, because prior to that last sub, I don't think CP3 and Harden were on the floor together at all.

I think Giannis team holds them off if Nurse uses Jimmy, Trae and Mitchell some in the 4th.

yeah it's just the first time....if they keep the format the coaches will understand they'll need rotate in the 4th qtr.

I loved the 4th quarter yesterday but there’s 3-4 players from both teams that I would have loved to see them some run in the forth. It seems like due to the intensity, neither team wanted to make a change.

Also, did Giannis (by his standards) play two games worth of minutes, yesterday. ESPN.com says he played 31mins, plus I remember seeing a tweet that the 4th quarter lasted 41mins. Giannis only averages 31mins for the Bucks.

giannis and embiid played the most

this is like the start of the fourth

embiid, lowry, giannis, kemba were out there with middleton, middleton is the only one who took a seat to siakam
the rest of the guys never got a break

actually crazy when you sit back and think of it when this happaned chris paul was the only guy on team lebron who played the rest

saw this on youtube


If you add the final score that is 1+5+7+1+5+5 = 24

At the end of the third, the score is Team LeBron 124 to Team Giannis 133 (24 is Kobe's Lakers jersey number and 33 is Kobe's Lower Merion jersey number and that two 1's add that up is Gianna's jersey number)

At the start of the 4th, Team LeBron needed 33 points (Kobe's high school jersey number) to win while Team Giannis needed 24 points (as per game format)

At the end of the game, Team Lebron edged out Team Giannis by 2 points (again, Gianna's number)

add in a throwback to pre01 rules & make man2man defense mandatory*

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

I think I got the GOAT format for years to come.

First team to 150 wins.

Each team stills wins a quarter for their charity. Last quarter is a free for all to 150 that can be won for charity.

Bring back East vs West. Conference that wins gets an All Star Winner patch on their jerseys for the rest of the year.

And no troll, but losers do 50 push ups in the middle of the court after the game.

First three quarters we’re a 3 point bomb fest but that 4th quarter was one of the best ever. They need to do anything and everything to incentivize winning

The shyt was a hit.

Want to see a battle? Eliminate the 3 pointer in the 4th.

The shyt was a hit.

everything about it was amazing, the only weak part was the skills competition
3 point competition going down to the last bucket
dunk contest going down to the last dunk
game yesterday going down to the last shot

the nba is the best sport in the world

i think harden was the only one to nail a 3 once the starters came back, dudes were guarding that 3 point line and giving no open looks

The shyt was a hit.

Only because people were so excited that no 2019 Warriors were playing
