The Ringer's top 20 most undeserving All Stars of all time: https://www.theringer.com/nba/2022/2/1/22911673/nba-all-star-game-kobe-bryant-dirk-nowitzki. Andrew Wiggens is noted as being a fine All-Star selection this year, albeit not starting worthy (duh).

I don't know how TnT chooses games, but showing Wizards vs Bucks when Raptors vs Heat is in the same time slot... "they chose poorly". Tonight's slate is slanted very early, with the only late game Nets at Suns late on TnT. Go Harden (gagging) Kyrie (throwing up in mouth) and the Nets (turning green). Or something.

When KD was healthy I could at least root for him. With him and Harris out, and Mills in the Warriors fan doghouse for choosing the Nets over us, the Nets are really unappealing at this point....

What a morning. Curry gets off last night. Klay has an off night (even that's a blessing to be able to say). Fresh cup of coffee. Wife pumping the early morning Bob Marley in the kitchen to wake up the tribe. All is right in the Universe once again.

Thriller classics: on one side, Kevin Porter Junior trying to impose his physicality to Steph (results: 40 points and mvp chants), on the other GP2, whispering “you don’t notice me, you don’t see me, but I am there, I am your shadow” (results: steals, fastbreaks and dunks). PS: what do you think of the nickname ‘shadow’? One can get rid of a glove somehow, but a shadow is inevitable…

So glad Curry got his revenge on Toyota Center and its stupid metal stairs

Great to have GOAT Curry back and going supernova.

Absolutely loved Moody's ability to keep his body in front of defenders. Convinced now he's a future starter if we can keep him.

Wiggins... we're not worthy!

Watching bballbreakdown is kind of like playing defense... instead of wondering when I'm going to get screened because nobody is telling me, I have to wonder when I'll get prompted to shave my nether regions...

Just a brief hello cuz yesterday night the connection was a mess and I had to watch the game delayed and in bits and pieces. The most entertaining of the night were the high pitched desperation screams of Rockets fans when Stephs ICBMs were in ballistic trajectory. And it seemed to hear ‘mvp’ chants for him.

Stephen Curry on Kevin Porter Jr. approaching him postgame: "He asked a solid question about how I approached a certain part of the game. I wanted to give him what I knew."

I lost internet part way through 4th quarter and decided to stay away from game thread. Caught rest of the game on DVR. And boy, was I wise not to follow the game thread. Steph going superslayin is best watched in real time (so to say). It had me howling 'Yes, Sir!' on his made shots.

After Steph's jump ball win he doesn't just shoot the 3, he shoots a Rockets assistant coach right in the heart (see front right bench around 1:14)

Man is a stone cold killer.

Was at the game, awesome experience and great game! Was as close as I could get to court side without being court side. Glad the warriors didn’t rest anyone besides Otto tonight. Though was sort of pissed Curry played 38 minutes, it was totally worth it in the end
