Yeah he's doing really great now but the way how all star voting goes usually fans pick those popular names. Although there's huge chance for him to get a spot for this All star game but I guess popularity  of players still counts since fan votes always matter the most.

There are so many good players before that didn't get a spot on all star due to lack of votes, but we are hopeful to see new names and see them have fun on that event.

Also don't expect much to see an intense game since all star game is just to entertain the the fans watching them. I guess we cannot see those plays we usually see on regular games.

I am not sure if this new method will make it like they will care, I am sure that people will still not care, they will not care the first game, they will not care the last game, I do not think anyone even cares about anything anymore. Not just the all-star game, I think nobody really cares about the three point shooting, or all star dunking, don't get me started on the team talent stuff neither, that's just a boring thing you can skip.

All in all, there is nothing entertaining anymore, because nobody tries to win anymore. It is not even good enough to see one of them trying hard, like lets say the winner of dunk contest tries hard, that's not enough, because you have all others just being terrible, it is still boring, or it doesn't matter if one or two players take it seriously at all-star game, because everyone else will just suck.

It's important to make them all think that this means something again, and all of them try their hardest again, that's when it will matter. But these days, not caring spilled out of all-star and sometimes we see it even on regular season games, so I can't expect that much from them. This is why NBA viewership is down more than any other sport in the world.

Right, and as we can see, there are current players and former players who criticized the format today. They want to go back to the old and traditional East vs West and then play as least some defense because that's how it is.

No wonder why the decline of viewership in the last couple of years. Even the slam dunk contest is dead already, not much to talk about unlike when we have good dunkers in the line up and trying to impressed the crowd with never seen dunks.

Let see if there's changes that comes out after those share opinions online, your statement is true there's no challenge and it's just getting boring from time to time, all-star selection are just playing just to say that they attend the all-star game but the competition there's nothing just pure exhibition and nothing that fans can enjoy unlike the way it was played especially those times where pride from east and west are really important for each selected players.

I don't think Klay's leaving affect the Warriors so much, remember that they go with a 12-3 to start. And then when Curry and Draymond started to missed games because of injuries or suspension, that's why the slide come and I even that they have a good chance to win the NBA Cup too. But I read one articles analyzing their game and that it says that the Warriors lack transition game. Perhaps that could be just one factor, teams are well are improving their defense as they know it win games for them. Warriors is known to be a good 3rd quarter team, but in their losses, they are not. That's why they have games that they simply can't maintain their lead and then they will just choke in the 4th quarter and lost the game.

There are articles that says Kerr is now willing to trade some if not all of their young rosters. So maybe it means that they are not in the desperate position because they are now in the 10th-11th spot and it doesn't look for them as we are almost in the first half of the season.

And just when we thought that they are a good team at the start, the problem have shown already. And I would say that it might have to do with letting Klay go. Just like what we have been seeing with the Wolves, when they traded KAT with Randle, it was not the same Wolves and it seems that their issue is Randle himself holding the ball too much and not passing.

Even if they go back to the old style of East versus West, the players will still play it like an exhibition game avoiding an injury to happen. Now, they added the rising stars to the recipe and these guys are hungry. I bet they will make the NBA stars go wild and be competitive again as they try to win that pot money.
I think the NBA management is trying but it's because we got used to the NBA All-Star being played like a game inside a game, and we got bored with it. They can also try not having an All-Star in one year, maybe people will miss it.
Still, I do like the idea now of letting the youngsters participate especially those in the G-League who will probably showcase their skills because they know there will be scouts watching their moves.

Exactly since somehow there's big hole need to fill when KAT is out in their roster. But since their cores are still intact and somehow Randle is also a good player for sure they provably can fix their current issues. Right now provably they are still adjusting since they have a new player that needed to familiarize the system implemented on his new team.

Warriors seems in big trouble now, it seems the expectation of fans has been turned down especially that they are currently struggling. There roster seems promising earlier but suddenly they are now failing that's why they are losing each game they play. I guess they need to figure out what's happening on their team and maintain those what they do earlier of this season so that they could able to get those winning streak again.

Who is watching the Miami vs. Magic game? I thought the Heat were going to win because they were already leading by 20 plus points in the end of 3rd quarter, even though Jimmy Butler didn’t play tonight. But for the Magic—no Wagner brothers, no Paolo Banchero, no Jalen Suggs no problem. Cole Anthony scored 35 points tonight, almost triple double with 8 rebounds and 9 assists! The Miami Heat only managed to score 8 points in the 4th quarter. Feel bad for Miami.

They've bounce back already and secure a win against the Wolves and Curry didn't want this game to slip from them and so he scored the last 11 points for the Warriors to secure this victory to at least keep them in the fight for the playoff.

Dennis Schröder with 9 points, perhaps we is still adjusting to the Warriors style of play. And with that, it's just a matter of time before we see him having double digit scoring to help the Warriors. They've already move up from Klay moving to Dallas, so I do not think that him leaving has affected them.
