by the way, talking about the Dunk Contest I heard that Dwight Howard had accepted the invitation and decided to participate in the Dunk Contest at the All-Star Weekend in February to try to bring home his second trophy Grin

I'm more excited to see the retiring veteran play his last dunk contest. Oh damn, we're all getting old! I used to watch the dunk contest when I was younger and now, this is his last dunk contest.

Besides the Slam Dunk Contest, I also exited to the 3-point contest. this will also attract attention because reportedly Trae Young and Luka Doncic will enter this contest

Three point contest will not be the same without the best shooters in the league. I mean, without Curry and Klay Thompson joining the three point contest, it will not be interesting to see. These guys are the shooters to beat in three point contest though Luka and Trae young a good shooters but they should compete with the best in the league.

I liked that too, but there should be 2 slamdunk contests one of the oldies and one of the usual one.
Excited for the upcoming all star, I hope they have more surprise this time like what we are not expecting.

You know who's my favorite personality in All star??

It's Kevin Hart, I hope the car accident does not take his will to play basketball, I love him in the show.

Hah, I don't know where you are when I've seen the Carter's 2020 slam dunk, Lol. That's was 20 years ago, Grin

.

It will be exciting to see Dwight one last time in a Slam Dunk, who is going to be his kryptonite now? Lol.

Yeah, I stopped thinking. I will bet for OKC. Grin

That fast!

No need to think of. Every time we see a superstar getting injured to a team, we know where it's heading. The roster they've got is colorful but yet it's more of a display rather than tackling with the other teams that they have to face. I feel regretful for them as they have good players but with the circumstance and condition that they are facing right now, they should be one of the best teams for this season but that didn't go well and probably it's not their time to shine.

Not yet as the main cast is not been there to help them, there's a big changes for sure after KD knowing how good he is and how he can lift his teammates to be more competitive. This team needs someone to keep them on the contender slot but without Kyrie against CP3 and the well
formed OKC it will be too much for them to handle. OKC is a good pick from this game.

Yes, they will be the good pick for this match and few hours from now the game will commence. Has everyone already bet with this game?

Being the 7th in the west is WAY different than being 8th in the east.

Exactly because if the Nets belongs to the west, there's no chance for them to enter in the playoffs, and though it surprised me that they will still hold the number 8 spot in the west with their current record now, but I know that would not last long.

..., last time I actually enjoyed was probably was 2011 Blake Griffin, after that it became super boring each year.

I even considered that the 2011 Dunk contest as boring.

I don't know what's your criteria but how come you missed that 2016 dunk contest. For me, that's the best dunk contest so far for the past decade. Anyways, we have different preferences.

Just for reference, after the 2019 dunk contest, Lavigne posted on Instagram of his dunk highlight against Gordon with a caption "Rematch one day?". Gordon responded to that and he says that the next All-Star will be in Chicago, Lavigne's current team. Almost a year later and no update till now. Lavigne is included in the rumor that he might join this year's dunk contest but no signs of Gordon. Still hoping for their rematch although I'm not expecting they will still the same as before as what they did last 2016.

Wouldn't it be too awesome to have some sort of "old guys dunk contest" type of thing? I mean we can't call it old guys dunk contest, that would be humiliating and nobody would agree but maybe old school? I don't know how to name it but just get all the 34+ guys. Think about Vince+Lebron+Howard+ and for lack of anyone I can think of over 34, Deandre Jordan who is 31 years old yet.

It was awesome but it will just remain as awesome since it was never considered.

Dwight Howard is considering joining the contest again and I think it was now confirmed and official.

If Memphis' Ja Morant and Clippers' Derrick Walton Jr. will accept the invitation, I think this will be the first time I will saw a dunk contest consists of youngsters and a veteran.

This year there will probably some high flyers that nobody cares about once again and it will once again be boring, last time I actually enjoyed was probably was 2011 Blake Griffin, after that it became super boring each year.

Honestly, the year they won a ring there was Tyson Chandler that guarded the post and grabbed boards, he wasn't amazing on the offensive side of things but Mavs knew that Dirk wasn't an amazing defender so they paired Dirk with Tyson Chandler and that made the duo work so well and get a ring, Tyson got the defense, Dirk got the offense and they both made two whole players.

Plus, back in the day USA wasn't ready for European style of play yet, now there are tons of Europeans and Doncic is showing how even a young kid from Europe could become MVP levels of talent in NBA at a very young age but back in Dirks days his "shot" was unstoppable, nobody knew what to do when that happened, dude scored 5-10 times a game like that without any problems because Americans had no defense for it.

They've never expect that a 7 footer guy will shoot outside as the common denominations of this big players are always inside the boards.
Dirk make the difference and introduced how european basketball styles can also work when you are inside this league. Not only Dirk but
there's also Kukoc and Ginobli who both inspired young europeans to dreamed about playing from this league.

Anyway, heard of the rumor that Kuzma might get traded to Sacramento Kings for Bogdan Bogdanovic. Any thoughts on this matter?

As for me, if that will happen, Kuzma now has a chance to develop more of his talent. Surely, he will become a starter on Kings once that rumor become true.

We all know that with the current Lakers roster, there is only a limited room for him to maximize his potential. Even he is out, there are other players who can fill up the hole for him. In other words, he will not grow on this team unless other parts of the roster suddenly turned into sh*t along the way. During the off-season, people expect him to be the number 3 this season for the Lakers but it didn't happen.

I noticed too that he is inconsistent at some of their games. Playing time shouldn't be an issue here for his inconsistent performance since he is not just the only Lakers who have an average of 20+ minutes per game. But even that's the case, Kuzma is a special player and somehow can be considered a big fish. No way Lakers will just trade him for Bogdanovic easily.

Oklahoma Thunder vs Brooklyn nets
*both lose their last game, can the Thunder easily get a win against the weaky Nets?

I wouldn't say that Nets is a weak team. They are almost the same in standings.

7 for The Thunders

8 for the Nets

but I think I'll go too with Thunders.

Being the 7th in the west is WAY different than being 8th in the east. The level of competition just isnt there in the east right yet. On point guard play alone I like oklahoma tonight. The nets shoot too many 3s, if they just played straight up against orlando last night they might have had a shot in the 4th. Prince shooting 9-10 threes in a game is rediculous, on defense let him shoot them all game long.

Nobody expected that OKC would have a great season. Yet, they are 20-16 and staying in 7th place in their conference. And as for the Brooklyn Nets, such predictions that this team will do good yet they stayed at the last slot in their conference. Take note, Western is different than the east.

I do agree with that.
Although he is a star, he needs that ring.
This might be his last season of his career but his dunks will never be forgotten.
It is still being carried at the dunking contests by participants who wants to give commemoration for this uber dudes who really made a difference in basketball. Grin

Nets were a good team with Irving playing with them, at least him because he and Durant was suppose to lead this team but they are both out now, and Irving might have a shoulder surgery that might extend his rest period.

BROOKLYN NETS GUARD KYRIE IRVING TALKS SHOULDER INJURY

Without him, Nets might not be able to hold the playoff spot.

we can say that they are in the top 8 but let's check their record in the last 10 games, it's very poor with 3-7. (https://www.nba.com/standings)

Even when he was still playing and healthy, the team is already disoriented. They had a good run but that's it. I really never considered the Nets to be playoffs contender while Durant is still out. Maybe next year when Durant is healthy and Kyrie is over with his issues physically and emotionally.

Kyrie is good but the problem with him is he is very prone to injury.
AFAIR, he had most season that are injured when he was still playing with Cavaliers and the Celtics, I wonder how much he would be worth after his contract is over with the nets.

Right, I also like live betting eventhough I am just watching through the boxscore and not the actual live game. You will have a slight prediction on what's to happen next if you do live betting. Though it is not a guarantee of winning but atleast it increases the chance.

We love live betting especially if you are watching it also, watching to the live score does not help a lot, you can't tell what they are doing in the court when you are not watching the entire game, but, I respect your style since we have our own style, if you have a lot of time and you put a decent amount, you'll surely gonna ensure you will be able to watch the game live.

I have tried that.
It is actually difficult. Just using google as the basis of score and all who are making it.
I lost some in it and then I stopped. Grin

Can't lose more.
