All-Star Saturday Massive Open Thread

PrintHere's your thread to chat about all of the All-Star festivities today (Rudy). There's the three-point shootout (Rudy), the H-O-R-S-E tournament (Rudy), and of course the slam dunk contest (Rudy) featuring (Rudy) one of the Blazers (Rudy), though I'm having trouble remembering (Rudy) which one at the moment. Maybe somebody can refresh my memory.
Enjoy!
(Rudy)

Sorry, Roy is tomorrow.
But he’s still cool.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Too bad Roy didn't help!
Would have been better than Pau. Although it wouldn’t have mattered if he did a 360 from the center court line, the judges wouldn’t have advanced him.

I think Rudy could also do very well in the Flopping contest.
But I know it´s a sure thing Maggete 1 and Ginobili 2.
Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16

Who wins the 3P shootout?? Who comes in 2nd?
Mike Bibby (Hawks)
Daequan Cook (Heat)
Danny Granger (Pacers)
Jason Kapono (Raptors)
Rashard Lewis (Magic)
Roger Mason (Spurs)
Kapona wins (he has won the last 2 years, going for the threepeat)
And I would guess Roger Mason may actually have a decent showing, but Kapono smokes the field.

Durant is impressive
and it pains me to say that. Do you think we would be a better team right now if we had Durant instead of Oden? Oden not playing in the rookie game was a big dissapointment for me. However, it doesn’t surprise me. You think he would have just “sucked it up” and played.
The whole nations watching
and everyone thinks the Blazers blew it. Don’t you think he could have played for 10 of 15 minutes?
Selfish attitude. We don't know the extent of the damage.
Should Greg play 15 minutes so that you won’t be embarrassed about the team you supposedly support?

What?
No one gets credit for being clutch in a useless all-star game.. Durant is just getting crap because he just shot threes in a game that’s supposed to be entertaining.
Right now yes.
In a few years… I dunno.
Roy and Greg might get us to the finals, not so sure that Roy and Durant do it. You need a quality big man in this league to get there.
The Big Guys
don’t get a break anymore. Look what happened at GS. Seems like Big guys that play with their back to the basket days are done.
Very true...
I think its because Shaq was so dominant they had to change the rules. Just like golf tried to do with Tiger. But it didn’t slow him down at all. I won’t give up on Greg unless he plays like this next year… Then I will find a new team to root for cause the blazers will officially be cursed.
did you see Durant his rookie year?
Greg’s year this year is superior to Durant last year, even with coming back from microfracture.
I'll keep my fingers
and toes crossed and hope your right. Hopefully during the offseason he’ll put the work in and improve.
He will
Amare got way, way better the year after microfracture.
Hollinger says, statistically, Greg is better than Rose or Mayo this year. That’s impressive.
If you give him an offseason to build confidence and workout with McBob, that will make him better.
I really want to trade for Mike Conley. I think that’d help him as much as anything.

So I was thinking
Rudy’s rainbow kick dunk seems too simple, albeit not easy. It would be far more interesting if it were to bounce off the backboard, and he did a put back dunk instead of an alley-oop. Is he gonna do it? He should.
How about catching it for a reverse dunk?
That could look good already without the backboard

I think Rudy's was better than howards
Howard barely jumped, it was just not that exciting, and I think Rudy’s as good as the other two. I have to say, this whole all-star weekend, Rudy gets no respect at all.
That dunk by Dwight Howard should've been an 8 out of 10.

Rudy did just fine.
He had no chance before it started. Announcers had already chosen Robinson and Howard before it started… Now I remember why I haven’t watched a slam dunk contest for over 10 years, till this year and only cause of Rudy. What a joke! But I guess that is what All-Star weekend is all about…

He just didn’t have a chance in the dunk contest.
I was just hoping for him not to screw it up.
I had very low expectations of him
But he did a good job, but he screwed himself picking Gasol over Blake or Sergio to be his partner.

dwight dominated the whole time
and rudy had a better first round
i remember how much I hated those judges when they were playing.
That feeling had long since subsided, but now I feel it all coming back. Obviously rudy was not even supposed to compete in this, because his dunks were easily better than smith’s and robinson. As soon as dwight got 50’d it was so obvious this isn’t even an athletic competition. It’s a popularity contest. What I don’t get is given rudy’s posterization of howard in the olympics this summer wouldn’t it have been more compelling to have him facing superman in the finals? TNT thinks no one knows fernandez but they must just be down playing him, because after this summer everybody knows who he is. And I think one of the most telling things was the reaction that second dunk got from all of the all stars in the audience. Every dude out there thought that dunk was sick and mad hard. Just another example of Ptown getting overlooked on the national scene, and I hope it just gives rudy that extra incentive to go out, finish the season strong, and posterize a bunch more fools so even tnt can’t say nobody knows who he is.

would never do it again, He had to do it that one time to prove he could… tryin to be like MJ
Rudy on spanish tv
He was nervous and changed the first dunk, complained a about the judges in the second, and told he was very happy to be in the all star.
He is a cool guy.
Free Sergio!
I wish the dunk contest could be adjusted so that the best overall dunk won. I feel like often the person who on average has the best performance walks away with the prize. I’ve never felt that Nate should have won a contest.
"It is impossible for a man of any intellect to write an honest line." -SB
Terrible
The finals was predeterminded before the contest started. Dwight gets a 50 on a decent first dunk that he missed once and failed on 3-4 times, then Rudy gets penalized for missing some tries.
Then the fans vote for a guy whose dunks were worse than Rose’s dunk to win the skills competition just because he’s short.
And I thought it was weak
for a HS dunk contest, even worse in the big show
An admission: After the OKC game, I said some things. Stupid things. Things about Nate not knowing how to coach GO. It was only then I realized that I was in danger of becoming that which I most loathe - an uninformed, knee jerk fan who reacts to wins with wild delusions of championships and losses with trade and firing fodder. I will not be that fan. From this point on I will support the Blazers, the coaches and front office wholeheartedly, offering praise and criticism appropriate to the matter at hand.

Ben, did Rudy master that rainbow kick dunk in practice?
Or would that have been too risky. TNT and he didn’t make a lot out of his “costume change” in the first round. He maybe should have paused for 30 seconds to show what he intended to do there and who he was honoring. This way it went by way too fast.
On his second dunk, it would have been better if they led that “behind the back” from Gasol away so there was a better chance to catch and stick the complicated move. But all in all he had a good show and didn’t embarrass himself. The fans liked it.
Also I think the order of the dunks is very important, which might have cost Howard the win. Green could have won it a while ago if he had done the cupcake candle dunk in the finals, but he showed it in the first round and blew it in the finals.

Yeah the whole Superman and Lex Luther/kryptonite thing was obviously predetermined it seemed.
Rudy shouldn’t of won, his second dunk was awesome but he did run out of time. The contest though has gone from talent to just plain ridiculous prop contest. Nate did win though, he by far had the biggest hops for how tall he is and best dunks.
Rudy shouldn’t of been last, he should’ve been third.

Its pretty obvious Rudy deserved to be in the final, at the very least.
The judges predetermined Nate and Dwight to move on so they could do their whole schtick.
You would obviously favor two former champs...
over a newcomer and a weak opponent like JR Smith. Still rudy should have been in the final thats true
Yep, some of those scores were off
Both of Rudy’s dunks were solid and probably enough to get him to the finals in an unbiased situation. JR Smith didn’t do anything special, Nate Robinson’s big move was LOWERING the rim, and Dwight’s first dunk was pretty meh. The off the side of the backboard was the best of the night for sure, though.
Sprite wrote the script
Robinson Howard and LeBron were the stars. Rudy and and J.R. were unpaid extras. And it was a “B” movie at best. Straight to DVD. Stern is such a tool.
