T-Wolves All-Star Anthony Edwards was asked if AS Game should be USA vs World? Edwards responded that Joker, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Towns & Shai weren’t enough to fill a Intl. team. When asked about Jamal Murray, Ant said he wasn’t an All-Star. Reporter was stumped and moved on. – 2:21 AM

Given a preference, I presume most Mavericks fans would rather Doncic bring his 100% the next time he comes to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Which happens to be a week from tonight, when the Mavericks play their first post-All-Star break road game. – 9:25 PM

Doncic is out of the game, having played the first 7:32 without breaking into anything more than a jog. A trot, maybe?
It is what it is. Doncic has never scored double-digits in five All-Star appearances and he’s on pace to continue that trend. – 8:56 PM

If any MFFLs had any hopes of Doncic putting on a show, he’s only only West starter who hasn’t contributed points to the team’s 25-point total. – 8:48 PM

The degree Luka goes to not score in All-Star Games is one of my favorite subplots of the past few years.
Reminder: he has only 28 total points in four All-Star Games before tonight. – 8:47 PM
