Tatum is on the missing in action Giannis team while Brown is playing with LeBron's team of Bigs - Kyrie/Doncic/LeBron/Jokic/Embid
Drew can test his theory that a big fron tline cannot beat quicker, mobile wings and guards as the starters for team Giannis seem to be especially with Giannis out. Tatum, Mitchell, Morant, Markkanen & Adebayo.

Sweet...Brown scored 8 and I saw none of it, though I was sort of watching...hard to follow this whole thing...it is not east or west but LeQueen and Giannis...and don't even try to explain the scoring to me...

99-92 at the half - Giannis/Tatum leading
No defense as usual ... nobody wants to get hurt so offense is paralyzing to the opponent.
Another halftime of entertainment from names I never heard of ... Man, I'm getting old!

Man, I'm getting old! Nothing to do with getting old...They all just suck...they are not musicians, so I guess you pegged it right as 'entertainment'... |

Celtics’ Tatum wins All-Star game MVP with 55 points to set record

Jayson Tatum — playing among some of the best players in the world — still stood out as one of the faces of the NBA put on a show at the All-Star game. Tatum set not one but two separate All-Star game records as he was named the Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP award after he led Team Giannis to a 184-175 win over Team LeBron.
Tatum put up an All-Star game record 55 points in the victory as heated up in the second half. Not only that, his 27 points in the third quarter is the most-ever in a single quarter by a player ever. The scoring outburst led to the decisive third quarter where Tatum poured in 3-pointers from all over the court.
“It means the world,” Tatum said on TNT after receiving the award. “You think of all the legends and great players that’s played in this game. In all honesty, records are meant to be broken. So I’ll hold it for as long as I can, but I’m certain that somebody will come along in a couple years and try to break it.”
In a great publicity move, Tatum did all of that while wearing his new signature sneaker, the JT1s. He started the first half with the “Pink Lemonade” colorway before switching to the red-and-black “Zoo” colorway for the second half. Tatum said he couldn’t sleep the night before in anticipation of his sneaker dropping, and he delivered for the fans at home in the game.
There were plenty of highlights Tatum put up Sunday — and he also got a fun assist from Jaylen Brown, who was playing for Team LeBron. Brown and Tatum went at each other to end the third quarter, trading buckets and taunts as the Celtics’ two stars were having plenty of fun competing Sunday.
But Tatum stole the show Sunday with his MVP performance. Tatum added another 10 points and six assists as he played a game-high 35 minutes Sunday. An assist goes to Celtics and Team Giannis coach Joe Mazzulla, who was willing to let Tatum’s hot streak continue as the shots kept going down. Tatum was 10-for-18 from 3 as part of the shooting display.

JB led Team Lebron with 35 points.
The Jays will end up with more than one chip in Boston, that's for sure.
The talent and skill are elite for both Jays.
It's just a matter of time.

Didn't watch a Gawd-Awful minute of it... not one!
But what an abysmal display of self promotion the NBA All Star game has likely devolved into.
And what should the new rule be??
First team to give up 200 points loses... no question!
That should surely add defensive intensity and excitement....
UGH!!!

I'm with you 100 percent. Total waste of heating and lights. This is the first one I've watched any of since Doc had the big 3 in the game. Before that it was the magic hiv game. |

I also don't watch the All-Star game.
Just shocked to see the news that JT won MVP and Joe let the Jays play a lot.

Scoring system is confusing, but in the end it is sort of a Globetrotter-like event...only chance of getting hurt is if you trip over yourself...there is no real contact... The J's are young lads, they need to run anyways...and they have four days until the next game...glad Jaylen got to play, you know he wanted to... |

I see Giannis is getting his wrist looked at. It's his right one too. If he has to get shut down for any length of time, you can write us in as #1 in the east.
