And the All Star selections prove once again what complete bullshit they are, and that anyone using AS selections as a barometer of greatness for a modern player are deluded.
And that's before you get to the game itself which will be a farce.
And the worst AS "selection" of all ? Doc for the East coaching job after 3 games back. What a slap in the face for the rest of the east coaches - they should have bent the rules to give it to Bickerstaff, the Cavs are on a 14-1 streak
I think I read a quote from Doc himself saying his selection was ridiculous

That is a fucking joke. I'm pissed at the Bucks for not just getting the right coach at the start, but firing anyone for Doc seems like desperation central.
My biggest fuck you though is to my Mavs - we finally found a guard to play with / off Luka and they wouldn't fucking pay him. He's now showing exactly how fucking good he is and we got fucking nothing. Terrible.
Cuban did the same thing when he let Steve Nash go

Okc and Harden!

JJ let him have it on first take, did you see it?
In other news, the Warriors made some switches and now look like a basketball team, and Kerr apparently got an extension.
My Mavs are looking good enough to give us hope before they inevitably lose in the first or second round.
And the Joker continues to do Joker things.

I did mate, he’s on the money!
How about your Mavs - you saw Brunson this week I assume?

I did not, but I'm getting hopeful, which means I'm definitely getting set up for disappointment.

Oh, sorry man. Didn’t mean to get you excited…
He just confirmed that the Mavs rejected his ludicrously undervalued offer twice because Cuban is dumb/tight
“Not once but twice did Brunson and his camp go to the Mavericks looking to sign a four-year, $55 million deal, Brunson said. “
Brunson wanted to sign the four-year, $55 million extension with the Mavericks, but he ended up getting much, much more from the Knicks.
The guard signed a four-year, $104 million contract with New York in the 2022 free agency, with a player option for the final year of the agreement. The total value of the signing is just under double what the deal would have been in Dallas.
Jalen Brunson wanted to sign extension with Mavs: Knicks guard rejected twice by Dallas front office, he says
The 27-year-old point guard detailed the leadup to his free agency decision, which ultimately resulted in the 2024 All-Star leaving Dallas for New York.

Must be time for an NBA hot take
Luka Doncic, for all his offensive skill, is not a player who can lead a team to success. His brand of basketball does nothing for his teammates, and he puts in absolutely zero effort at the defensive end. It might be possible to build a winning roster with Luka in it, but it would need very specific guys to do it, and your star is not raising anyones floor.

It took MJ a while to get it, maybe he will in future.

That's some shot.

Spurs got a rare win on the back of another absurd Wemby stat line.
Only about 15 games left in the regular season. Celtics are miles clear in the East, and it is hard to see anyone in that conference beating them in a series. It would be a monumental choke for them not to make the finals.
In the West it is still a shitfight. The Thunder just keep winning, and have first place at the moment. The T-wolves aren't dead yet, even without KAT. The Clippers are sliding now, and have been since the ASB. The Pelicans are being slept on, but they are quietly climbing the table.
Fuck knows who comes out of all that, it may just be match-up dependent. I still think it's the Nuggets. They have the best player, and they just seem to have a level that the others don't. I'll watch them sleep walk games for three quarters, and then roll over a team. -
Wemby is already in the top 20 players in the league

That's some shot.
Anyone who’s ever played a game of pickup ball will know that this was an impossible shot. Running cross court, left hand, borderline skyhook, over Joker, to win the game
Nothing but net
It was ludicrous, and I don’t think an exaggeration to say that nobody else in the league could have made that. Or even attempted it.
Simply outrageous

Boom goes the dynamite

and so we hit the last few games, finally. And not much is actually decided except which 10 teams are already planning holidays
East
Celtics first. Daylight 2nd. Bucks currently still 2nd, but with how flakey they are, can they hold on? Magic, Knicks, Cavs and Pacers all breathing down their necks, but may run out of runway.
Heat, Sixers, Bulls and Hawks will fight out the play inWest
Shitfights everywhere
Nuggets got themselves to 1st. But no way to rest as the T-wolves and the Thunder keep winning. Clippers and Mavs look like they will play each other in the first round again
The Lakers could actually get themselves out of the play-in as they just keep winning. Who the fuck say AD and LBJ staying this healthy? No one will want to play them.
Kings and Warriors the only ones you say will definitely be play-in.
The outcome of the West looks completely match-up driven more than anything. No clue who comes out of it.
