They could cut the hour-long lasso competition I'm sure they have planned.

but thats whats wrong with teh dunk-in. most people will vote by reputation rather than the dunk in. EG had too much ground to make up and was never really given a chance.

Yes show all his cards tonight to appease you only to be at a disadvantage tomorrow night. Makes sense, no really. I like people who just dont want to admit thier logic is just bad and thier pride keeps telling them to be illogical. Sucks for you.

How many attempts it take for Eric Gordon? I lost count.

So could somebody tell me the reason for the dunk-in? Because the dunks obviously had no effect on the votes. Probably didn't help that they allowed votes to begin 10 minutes before the contest started, then once the dunks were actually completed, there were only 5 minutes for people to vote at that time.

Thats all I've said so no need to get all emotional and bent out of shape because a poster says something about a Clipper player. To me thats pathetic and immature. No one can say anything about a Clipper unless its to your liking. Fall back kid.

you never mentioned that, you kept referring to in game stuff, that has no merit in creativity, he is a hardworker not a showboater, and i'm calling out the bullsh*t, and did you watch the event? how were eric's dunks not creative? he's just not a leaper thats why he shouldn't have been in there, i've said it myself he shouldn't have been in there, it wasn't about him being a clipper anyway, if you were saying the same about derozan then i would do the same, i think we can agree he is very creative, just doesn't have the size or vertical to do some of these dunks

Anybody got a gif of Blair's dunk?

I agree that DeRozan will probably put on a better show tomorrow and it was smart of him to coast tonight, but what is the point of the contest at all if 1 guy can coast, get out performed, and still win?
