Consider this your open thread for the night.
My pick for the Skills Challenge is DWill. Even if he wasn't on the Jazz, he hold the record for the event and ran well in all of his times two years ago. It should be him and Nash in the finals.
I'll go with Danilo Gallinari in the three-point contest.
And I'll go with the field for the Slam Dunk contest as opposed to Nate Robinson because I think he wants to get out of it finally. If he wins again, he'll have to come back.
Enjoy the night.

H-O-R-S-E
Just finished watching Durant and Rondo shoot it out. B-O-R-I-N-G
sad too, because it ought to be awesome. Imagine Pistol vs. Bird… They pick the worst guys for it though. The best current players for HORSE would be Ginobli, Baron Davis, AK, and maybe a guy like Billups.
I'll make it coach.
They need to pick some guys with personality, too
Rondo is such a boring guy, Durant isn’t all that entertaining, and Casspi? Give me a break. Either go with creative guys like the ones you mentioned, or at least get some entertaining guys in there — Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, LeBron, D-Will, etc. Some more fan-generated shots wouldn’t hurt either. In its current format, it is terribly boring.
Looks like Rose is a late scratch for the skills challenge
Westbrook taking his place.

In other news, that Taco Bell commercial with Charles Barkley is incredibly annoying
It’s like a really bad Dr. Seuss book.
The first time it was kinda funny
I liked the dreadlocks (sp?) line in particular, but having to watch it every single commercial break gets really obnoxious.
Can I just say
…..worst dunk contest ever. If you can’t land stars to come do it, let the guys freakin use props. I understand you are worried about their health but they know the risk they are taking by using things that are dangerous. Just sayin.
For the Love of the Game
agreed
Here’s what I would do: I’d get my teammate helper guy to defend me and dunk in his face. That’s what people want to see. I just don’t know if there’s anything else to do in terms of spinning, windmilling, pumping and ooping. Vince Carter’s dunks were all fresh back in 2000 or 2001 whichever year that was. Everything since then has been a gimmick or a copy. The poor announcers were trying so hard to be excited, but even they knew this stuff sucked.
I'll make it coach.
