    I never watch anyways but this is completely fucked.
    If I understand this correctly, the "4th qtr" should last about two minutes....24pts....what a joke.

    I stopped watching as soon as they had LeBron and Curry pick their teams, what a joke. I will watch everything but the All-star game though.

    I think they should have 8 guys from each team on the floor at all times, 2 basketballs, a 5 point line, and strobe lights

    the basketballs can be disco balls.

    this is dumb. what they should do is west vs. east, the winner gets home court advantage in the finals. then they would have something to play for and might make for an interesting game.

    I find it pretty funny that so many people that "never watch the all-star game" are so upset at this. And you really want them out there playing hard defense? I sure as hell don't. With our luck this year Dame would get knocked down by the Greek freak and crack a rib something. Nah, throw your alley oops, shoot long 3s and take it easy in a game that gets you no closer to a ring if you win.

    Is Ant in the dunk contest? I haven't been following the ASG info so I don't know.

    Doesnt appear to be. Gotta have Dwight Howard in there again, because his dunks are on par with Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordons dunks from a few years back...

    Bummer. I think Ant would have a good chance at winning.

    He's a no-name from a backwater team. No chance whatsoever.

    Yhis is similar to how TBT plays. I like a target instead of time for the fourth quarter.

    just play two halves...the first half ends when the first team hits 75 points. The 2nd half ends when the 1st teams hits 150 points. And the 3 high scorers for each team, other than the captains, switch teams at halftime

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Just make the whole game the fourth quarter. A 48 minute fourth quarter, so the whole game is played in the pressure cooker of clutch.

    1. Kidnap Lillard so he can't go to the ASG or 3pt shootout.

    2. Infect all of the players at the game with the coronavirus.

    3. Release Lillard.

    4. Win championship.

    5. Remember to delete this post.
