This upcoming season WILL have extended all-star break

[Hey Yo]

I know they were talking about the possibility of doing it this season but didn't think they were going to. Very lame.

NBA's experiment with extended All-Star break worked into '14-'15 schedule. For teams, minimum break between games is 8 days; some longer.

NBA all star weekend is already the most boring spectacle in all of sports

Don't watch it then.

Don't watch it then.

The rook/soph game was the most exciting part of the last one. Even the all-star game was a bit of a letdown. Everything else was ehhhhh. Hope the next one is better.

They need to add a 1v1 tourney cause as it stands now All-star weekend is boring as hell.

Do something about the damn dunk contest too :facepalm

[smoovegittar]

Love the rookie game...you can have the rest. I like the idea of adding an extra day or two, though.

If he can't score 3 straight times you win

I missed the rising stars :(


All I know is the dunk contest was SO god damn awful. I won't be watching it if they don't change the format.

I'm 100% for this. A 82 game schedule for the type of sport this is a long ass season. This gives players with nagging injuries a little more time to get rest they need. It'll be a boring week, but should make for a more entertaining second half hopefully.

Last years dunk contest was wack with how it was formatted, but that event had some nasty dunks

I agree, the format sucked so bad that the stupid team freestyle dunks didn't allow Terrance Ross (last year's winner) to even defense his title solo.

It was bullshit because they had some sick dunkers there..woulda been sick to see Wall and PG go back and forth, those two definitely had a bunch of stuff they didn't get to use.
