    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    He will be out of dunk contest in first round and probably play 5 min tops in all star game. The only tiring part of weekend will be 30min in sophomore game and they don't play defense so its like a light practice. The most draining part of the weekend is all the media crap and you do that no matter what.

    Re: Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

    Sounds like it's not happening?

    [Agent Aaron] Goodwin said Lillard is especially motivated for the Three Point contest.

    "The three-point contest is more important than anything else,'' Goodwin said. "He wants to shoot.''

    ...

    Goodwin says Lillard "would do" the three-point contest but said he has not been named to the competition.

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.


    I don't think there's any realistic chance he plays less than 5, unless it is by request. 5-10 is possible if the team ends up with 6 guards and he lays an egg in the first half, but I wouldn't bet on that. Likely will play somewhere between 10-20 varying with Paul's status.

    If nothing else, he'll get some practice in on his 3pt shot and he looks like he could use the practice about now!

    Really though, this should be where Wes gets an invite, Wes just keeps getting snubbed for these events.

    Watching TNT for the announcement. I get the feeling they are going to make me watch the whole show before telling me

    I love that he gets to be THE gimmick of all star weekend. Will definitely make me pay more attention. Excited about the thought of the league pushing one of our guys as an up and coming star.
