Dejuan Blair can do that???

Looked like it was going to get out of his reach, but seems like he just got to it.

This game is so bad (Rookie-Sophmore)...

I mean I get it's supposed to be a show and all, but they aren't even playing at 50%. Everyone is just walking around throwing up 3s or standing around while people dunk.

I wish the All-Star games were taken more seriously =[

Yeah, but that's usually how it is in the first half. I mean, the D isn't really there in the second, but they usually want to win so it steps up a little bit.

This game has been great. I love the street ball atmosphere of All-Star weekend!

It's not even streetball -- it's just fucking boring.

The beauty of sport is in the competition for me, which is probably why I hate the All-Star games so much. I don't know why people find everyone walking around and dunking occasionally so entertaining. Just isn't for me =/

its not meant to be that serious ... if they played mad defense people might get hurt like they do in regular games. the last thing anybody wants is to have their ALL STAR injured at a game that doesnt count in the regular season.

Barely watched a few minutes of the game but I have to say that bounce pass over the defender from Wall to Griffin for the dunk was pretty damn sick. SICK.

Maybe it's stupidity, maybe it's blind faith, but I believe the Warriors are going to make the playoffs this year. I'm not saying it's probable, I'm choosing to believe it despite the odds. Here are the situations I foresee happening in the future and that greatly increase the chances of the Warriors making the playoffs!

1. The Denver Nuggets will tank after they trade Melo

This is a given. The sooner Melo leaves the better for both the Warriors and the Nuggets. Yeah the Nuggets are a 7 seed in the playoffs currently, but everybody knows this isn't going to be their year.

2. The Utah Jazz will tank now that their coach has resigned

I realize they're on the fringe of the playoffs anyways right now, but I don't foresee them contending now that their headcoach and one of their assistant headcoaches resigned. You don't just replace a Jerry Sloan-type coach mid-season and expect your team to get better.

3. The Warriors trade for Nene from the Nuggets

If the Nuggets are going to get rid of Melo, why not move Nene (and his expiring contract) as well? The Nuggets have nothing to gain by holding on to Nene for the rest of the year and everything to lose, as it's extremely unlikely they're going to resign him. I don't know what it would take for the Warriors to get Nene, and I'm not going to play GM, but it seems like an obvious/good move for the Warriors. Of course this is on the condition he resigns with the Warriors.

I realize none of this will make the Warriors "OMG AWESOME CONTENDERS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP", but it should improve them enough at the very least, hang in the playoff picture until the end of the season. If Nene doesn't go to the Warriors, I hope he goes to an Eastern Conference Team so he's not really hurting the Warriors.
