As an aside, fresh from the trade deadline, with fans burning to watch the new players and the new lineups, the best thing the League was able to do was... stop the real games for a week to bore us to death with kid gimmicks and the ugliest “advertising game” you’ll ever see? Good job Adam...

Plus, how stupid was to have the ASG 60 games into the season?

The All-Star Weekend dates are established months in advance and land on the same general spot every year. That's pretty non-negotiable.

Which means well never see the All Star game in SA because of the Rodeo 😔

Man. Hope you're wrong but that would seem to be the case. A shame. I would LOVE an All-Star Weekend in the Alamo City. My second ASW ever was there in 1996.

Marc, I’m loyal to Steinline Enterprises, but “the Finnisher” is a better nickname. Sorry.

The Cavs are such a fun team. Jarrett Allen is quietly anchoring them. Do they have the brightest long-term outlook, with Mitchell, Garland, Allen and Mobley having an average age of 23.5? Or will it be hard to keep this group together?

It will be expensive but Dan Gilbert has always shown a willingness to spend. So if the fit is good I don't see finances getting in the way. I think the outside world was counting on Mitchell to be unhappy there ... which hasn't been the case at all.

Seeing this sentence repeated quite often across multiple outlets: “Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, and Gregg Popovich headline the class.” Why Gasol “headline” the class ahead of Parker? Wouldn't Parker have the better case?

It must be the same report running on multiple sites. I can't imagine Parker being left out of the group for any reason.

Disagree on Cavs. Don't believe in Nuggets but can't argue.

If you didn't comment on the rankings, I would have been sad.

A little harsh on the Nets I think.

Maybe. But imploding the whole team was a major thing!
