- Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks (2nd All-Star selection): After starting last year’s game in his All-Star debut, Antetokounmpo will become the first Milwaukee player to start consecutive NBA All-Star Games since Marques Johnson in the 1979 and 1980 midseason classics.

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry lead the list of 10 players selected by fans, NBA players and media to start in the 2018 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. James and Curry will serve as team captains after finishing as the All-Star starter from each conference who received the most fan votes in his conference.
The 67th NBA All-Star Game, featuring Team LeBron vs. Team Stephen, will take place on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. ET on TNT and ESPN Radio. The midseason classic from Staples Center will reach fans in more than 200 countries and territories in more than 40 languages.
Under the new All-Star Game format that replaces the traditional matchup between the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, James and Curry will choose the team rosters from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves. The All-Star teams will still feature 12 players from each conference, but the captains will select the team rosters without regard for conference affiliation. Each captain’s first four selections must come from the pool of eight remaining starters. As the top overall finisher in fan voting, James will make the first pick.

What an absolute rip-off/stupid decision it is to not live televise the selections by the captains!

How bad is this foul by Baynes????
Look at where he starts and ends up! Body checks Cousins at the end, who makes the 3 AND-1.....should have been benched for the game for this lol there's no huge high jump where he can't control where he lands, it's just a slow-mo walk out to hip check a 3pt shot loooong after it's gone. Silly.

Ok so Draymond had 10 steals in 2017 (a point off a 5x5 game) and then this was the most since Brandon Roy in 2009!
Wow look at all those columns filled up with Rondo..dude was such a beast in his prime1 rebound off a beast trip double for Westbrook too today -

So frustrating watching the Cavs play. Nobody looks like they care to play any defense. I have faith in them that they will turn it around soon and give minutes to the right players but for the time being, it's ugly. JR Smith has been ridiculously terrible and Jae has not adapted well to his role on the Cavs. He was meant to be a 3 and D guy but he's just been inconsistent as heck.

Another brutal start to the season with injuries!
Canaan went down the other day with a gross ankle injury and Porzingis ACL today, never want to see it!

The porzingis one isn't grotesque at all.. This season has been ridiculous with injuries. Kawhi, Lin, Hayward, Canaan, Middleton, Porzingis, Love, Milsap, Vucevic, Conley, Cousins, Roberson..
