Currently Team Giannis is leading 36-22 with Giannis scoring 16.

Bad start for team Lebron, I hope they will rally and win this game.
This is just an all star game but if they will let it go, I guess fans will be disappointed as Team Lebron has more fans than Team Giannis.
It's too early, if they will exert a big effort in the 2nd half, they can still take this win.

37-53 now, 16 point lead going to the 2nd quarter.

Yeah they are suffering from going to the three pointers early in the first quarter.
They have made up alot of ground but I think it is a little to late.

I placed a bet on team giannis just when the second half started and at pretty decent odds going in.
They are 118 - 106 as I type this.

Which team are you guys excited about? I think its even-stevens as it just depends on who takes the game seriously and who's on fire initially. The first 2 quarters are just going to be casual basketball with a lot of flash. If a team gets a good enough lead there,they have a good chance to win. Currently Team Giannis is leading 36-22 with Giannis scoring 16.
Edit: Nowitzki hitting 2 straight 3's sure puts a smile to my face. First qtr ends with Team Giannis 53- 37 Team LeBron

The slam dunk contest was so boring and unimaginative. There aren't many dunks we haven't seen before and we didn't have any good participants this year.

True that. It was pretty awful, I'm sick and tired of players who need 10 tries to pull off a dunk. huh

Next year, the All-Star break will be in Chicago, so maybe we get to see Zach Lavine again? Zion v Lavine - that should be a good showdown. At least it can't get any worse, we hit rock bottom last night. lol

Imagine how much creativity you would need to make in order to create a new dunk. It's repetitive but of all the dunk contest that have happened, there would be a lot of overlapping happening and clash of the same dunks. The hype is not the same as it used to be. People have higher and higher expectation every time. You cannot blame them, maybe a more out of the box type? We will see in the next dunk contest.

So what about the all star today, it will start in 30 minutes.
Do you guys put your bet already, Team Lebron is the favorite and obviously they have a better player
but this is all star, I think the young fellas will be more eager to win and if they can't win this game, they might cover the spread.

Line opened at +6 now down to +4.5 for team GIANNIS.

Watching the game right now with meek mill announcing and rapping at the beginning. So you can feel the vibe of the game. Grin

I think Giannis is more focused and is looking to make more of an effort to show what he can do in his third time in an all star game.
I would put my bets on him and the young guys although team lebron are the favorites and he is the goat in the league. Cheesy

So excited to watch the NBA allstar game. Hoping to see another competetive match between these two teams, just like the game from the last allstar game.
Lebron picks is like building a team pre-chemistry for the next season, its like half of these big names in the free agency will go to LA next year lol.

Team Lebron will still most likely gonna win this game.

It's just an exhibition game and lack of defense but Lebron is still very competitive, I have a feeling that he will win the All star MVP if their team win.

Im also rooting for team Lebron, his lineup is stacked with the best players in the league, both offensively and defensively.
Lack of defense wasnt a case during the allstar game from 90's to 2000's they were like competing for the trophy when they played back then, unlike today where the playets is just trying to show off to entertain the fans. But looking at the 2018 NBA allstar is a bit satisfying as they really are competing for the W down the stretch, they're a little physical and its good to say defense like those in an allstar game.

Skills challenge was actually the only fun thing this night, it was actually fun to watch these kids play it out and try to win, they did shots from half court and even tough trae missed his half court shot (I think was against doncic?) he made it to finals but he lost to a half court shot in return Cheesy

lol. That showed me these kids wanted to win for sure. Also it was super fun to watch Jokic play there as well, I knew he was just smart player and his lack of athleticism would limit his chances but dude was straight up talented for a big man and showed it there as well. I was hoping Doncic to win tbf, he didn't get to all-star game (which he deserved) so I hoped he at least won the skills challenge. I never really liked three point contest anyway but dunk contest was bad as well, the only good dunk was the dunk over Shaq and all other dunks were really mediocre.

Ergh! The slam dunk contest was not that really awesome. It was though because the veterans are being used to be dunked on. Grin

For my point of view, it is the most entertaining and more fun to watch during the all-star game. I can wait to see it for the whole game and these dunks..man.. are amazing! In the past, there were more exciting dunks i think but there are many talents that can rise via this contest and get some lights on them that will help them rise in the future.

Of course its one of the most exciting and anticipated show in every all star game. However, this year contest was somewhat 'dry' because its just the usual 'jump over someone popular' thingy. Not my type of slam-dunk competition to be honest. Anyways, we still have the game that everyone is anticipating for tomorrow so I hope it will live up to its hype.

I also expecting something different this year. But I would agree that it was tough to see legends and veterans being dunked on.

The Skills challenge is a little fun. Although with the slow movement of Jason Tatum he made something miraculous to get that three point way far using the glass.

That three point makes the difference, it was fun to see him throwing and hitting it.

Quote from: Reid on February 17, 2019, 02:11:33 AM

But the most awesome of all that made me WOW. It was the three point shoot out. Damn Steph Curry made perfection in three racks for the first round and then almost getting a tie for the championship just missed that one money ball.
It was a fun day at Charlotte again. Now next is Team Gianis and Team Lebron. Let us see if it will be more fun than the last one. I want some contested shots and not just like kids playing in the park.

But Curry still lost, Grin

. All eyes are now on Team Giannis vs Team Lebron. I'm sure if will be a fun and enjoyable game until the last 3-5 minutes wherein the game is and the and bragging rights is on the line.

I seriously hate this weekend. Every single thing about this weekend is just cheesy and horrible.

Look at the celebrity game, they are making it a show now, people used to actually try to show that they could play as well but now they are not even trying to pick proper people for it. Look at the rising star game, I understand it is just a show and it was at the last seconds of the game but a player PASSING to other team so they can dunk is not something acceptable in any other game, do you think people with MJ or Kobe mindset would let the game go and help other teams member to get a good dunk ? No way.

Dunk and three point will be the same, they will just do half assed stuff that is not remotely good as the old days. All star game hopefully will be a bit better than previous years because last year with the team captains it was a bit better, before that it was just purely mockery of what we call basketball. I rather watch a Hawks VS Suns game then this weekend, it is that much horrible.

I guess we are getting older and we slowly loss our appreciation on slam dunk contest, back when I was below 20 slam dunk was one of my favorite during all star season, but now that I also learn to gamble, I don't appreciate it a lot anymore.

~snip~

That was fun, Jason Tatum is not dominating in terms of running the ball but his consistency in 3 point shooting saves him.
One of the announcer's said that it it was Tatum's spot in the center, but that half court shot was pretty amazing, Young was outsmarted by Tatum.

Skills Challenge:
Luka Doncic, Mavericks - 4.84x
   De'Aaron Fox, Kings - 4.26x

3-Point Contest:
Stephen Curry, Warriors - 2.06x
Buddy Hield, Kings - 6.25x

and the Slam Dunk Challenge:
Miles Bridges, Hornets - 3.22
   Dennis Smith Jr., Knicks - 2.44x

I believe you haven't won any of your selection today, it was a tough day for gamblers, high odds player got the win.
Curry was amazing in the first round of 3 point shooting, I thought he would bring the trophy again but shooters now are improving, we have a new champ.
I think they should add Thompson in the all star, I trust him over curry in terms of accuracy.

Nah, I didnt bet on any thing. I had just pointed out who the favs to win were and the 2nd favs. Just wanted to point it out for fellow cappers about the lines and what I feel about it. You would have understood that if you had read my post properly. Tongue

Looks like favorites are not winning in the last 2 competition.
3 point shooting contest is won by Joe Harris with +650 betting odds, it's a good payout, unfortunately, I put my trust to my man curry.
Who won betting on Joe Harris here? Congrats to you . Grin

I would have bet on Curry but 2x didnt seem worth it, especially with 10 people participating in the 3 Pt Contest. In the dunk contest, Highlight was the dunk over Shaq. I knew nothing could top that and I think he played it a little too early. After that, none of the dunks would have impressed me. unless somebody dunked over Shaq who had Muggsy Bogues sitting on his shoulder or something. Slightly underwhelming dunk contest, as usual other than a couple of dunks. Congrats to Hamidou Diallo.
