Can't really argue... They turned Blake Griffin's moment into a Kia Commercial. I haven't been thrilled since Vinsanity

In his defense, the events tonight are a lot more exciting than the game itself.
February 25th, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
And North Campus bro-shake... But I don't need defense... Millions of people are watching this even if the MgoHipsters aren't interested

I can appreciate an ardent Anti-NBA guy... Nothing wrong with not liking something... but leave the thread for those who do... This is a pretty big yearly event for some of us. Also, this is a University of Michigan blog. A lot of us Michigan alums are not from the Detroit area and couldn't give a fuck less about the Pistons Wings and Lions. (It was bad enough having the Lions games on while I lived in A2) lol

Just an ardent Ant-NBA Proponent especially when the Wings are playing a game and don't even have their own thread.If you want a Red Wing thread, what's stopping you from creating one?
February 25th, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
Either it's easier to hate...
Or he's liquored up and will apologize tomorrow

Didn't realize we get two points but I was raised in the Jordan vs. Dominique era... can't help but watch the Dunk Contest!
February 25th, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
Not to mention isn't it only one round now?
February 25th, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
I was going to post a generic "NBA thread? Nobody cares!" comment, but someobody already beat me to it.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
Wow I am getting killed for liking the NBA and UFC lol... sports fan here... I apologize
February 25th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
Bitterness. We haz it sometimez. (By we, I mean other people. I thought it was a post-worthy OP and I hate the NBA).
February 25th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
I mean... I watched the purdue game with everyone else and it sucked... I also know our awesome hockey team is playing... but to pretend like All Star Saturday is a non-event... Hi-haterrrrrs lol
February 25th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
....what did I miss?
February 25th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
Just won the skills challenge over Rondo and my guy Jon Wall
February 25th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Just came out in the Drazen Petrovich jersey... Very classy RIP
February 25th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Besides, you will see highlights from EVERY part of it on ESPN for the next 2 weeks...your worldwide leader for everything NBA.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
The 3-point shootout is the best part of the weekend. I can't believe how good Love was in the first round. Crazy skills for a big guy.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
Love is killing it... I would love to see Durant win though!
February 25th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Very cool dunk by Budinger.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
Very artificial how they brought Diddy out though lol... But it was a great dunk!
February 25th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
That was my favorite. But why do the Jazz now wear the old Seattle Supersonic uniforms?
February 25th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
They always had green incorporated as a third color but it seems once SEA left they've felt they have cart blanche on the green and gold
February 25th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
February 25th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
oops, thought this was the drinking thread. now can't figure out to delete. sorry!

The NBA as a whole is fucking losing me with this garbage.
The Heat have SIX representatives all weekend? New York has four? Meanwhile Denver, Milwaukee, New Orleans, and Toronto have none.
You mean to tell me that he entire nation of Canada had nothing to root for while America was gifted with the presence of bench players Norris Cole and James Jones? DeMar DeRozan and Amir Johnson would have put up better dunks than we saw tonight, and Jose Calderon is as good of a candidate as any for the three point contest or skills challenge.
February 26th, 2012 at 1:43 AM ^
Yeah, it's a freaking joke. 3 point contest is the only thing I watch on All-Star Weekend. Dunk contest is nothing because the best dunkers don't even participate (ie scaredy cat Lebron).
But i've also gotten to the point where I will watch the Pistons and nobody else. Officiating is atrocious and games can be a snoozer except for the last 2 minutes of every quarter. Those are the only times teams play tough defense consistently.
