Could they drag this pregame on show on SOOOO LONG. Get to the game already. All this pregame entertainment should be saved for half time. Desperation marketing damn it.

[Johnny Castaway 31]

well, at least during the first minutes of the game, it looks a better slam dunk contest than the one last night ...

It hasn't been the same since actual superstars participated, ie. MJ, Dominique, etc. IMO, he only way they could revive it by LeBron doing it, but he won't.

 

Eh. What dunk does LeBron James have to offer that we haven't seen Dwight do in the All-Star dunk competition. I think his people overrate his dunking ability.

Well LeBron is the best and most popular guy in thr league so if you get him to do it, other stars will follow.

 

And LeBron is far and away a better dunker.

Simmons predicted we would be the 3rd worst team and we are the 3rd worst team... How exactly are we underachieving?

[barnettej 263]

"I'm not sold on the lineups they're playing," Simmons says. "That's a team to me that looks like they're tanking, or they're just poorly coached. It's one of the two."

[CTMagicUK 1,488]

Simmons before the season (heavily paraphrased) "Jalen doesn't agree that they're the third worst team but I think they are because they're going to tank."

[The Neighborhood Bully 266]

If we were really tanking......wouldn't we have kept Hedo all year and made his step back 3 the focal point of the offense?

We couldn't make it THAT obvious, come on man!

Spoiler, we're tanking.

People care what Bill Simmons thinks?
