All star weekend was hit and miss. The Skills was decent, Dunk contest was awful, as was the 3 point contest. All Star Game was great though, AD with 52 for the new record.
Also, the big news is of course, DeMarcus Coursins + Omri Casspi are traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. Kings will receive Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a 2017 1st Round Pick, and a 2017 2nd Round Pick.
So the Pelicans suddenly have a front court of DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis. Absolutely monstrous front. Sets up an interesting possibility that if the Pelicans finish in 8th seed, which they're 2.5 games back on, the Warriors will face Boogie and AD. What a thought eh

I reckon they'll move past 8th tbh, that front court is ferocious man. If they get CP3 or Wall in the off season...
Watching Kelly Olynik and Tyler Zeller as the primary bigs off the bench for the Celtics I realise how weak their frontcourt is and why they aren't built to win in the playoffs. I'm calling a 2nd Round exit for the Celtics.
So the MVP race is heating up! I think Kawhi may be getting some consideration now. If they steal the one seed from Golden State I reckon he gets it. Tho Harden should be getting it.

Don't know what's worse, that, OKC's or Golden States blow?
either Barca or Golden State. Id lean on Barca.
With Barca, In football anyway scoring 6 goals is extremely difficult. And to do so starting with a 4-0 deficit knowing you had to score 5(later 6) and limit the other team from scoring to have a chance to get through is unbelievable. Essentially all PSG had to do was Park the Bus. PSG choked big-time

True, winning 3 games in a row vs Golden state who broke records that year is extremely difficult too. Either way disgusting chokes the lot of them.

Its been the year of the chokes for sports. Cleveland Indians blew a 3-1 lead, Golden State and OKC did too, Falcons went nuclear with how bad they choked. All horrendous choke jobs but the worst would have to be the Falcons.
In Boston's case, I personally don't think getting the number one seed makes much of a difference, if any.
Although they get home court advantage, they have to face the Heat in the first round, instead of the Pacers, which could be problematic given the streak Miami have been on! Also, there's little difference between the Wizards and Raptors, so the second round should be equally difficult regardless of which seed they are.
