The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday.

The new concept would create three teams of eight All-Stars each, as well as a fourth team coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game. The teams would then face each other in a bracket competition.

Yeah it made early game feel a little pointless since like you said an early lead built up on multiple good plays could get completely wiped by 1 death.

Really happy the dev team has been tweaking things as much as they are and pretty quick to listen to feedback. Even when a buff is a bit strong in one patch I don’t get too annoyed about it since I know they’ll have a fix out pretty quick.

 

50/6/2/1/3 on .621 FG% and 6/9 from the line tonight.

 

No Dame, Middleton, or Portis tonight so the Bucks needed every bit of it to pull out a win.

59 is the highest of the season for a player so far.

59/14/7/2/3 on .618 FG% and 16/17 from the line.

Think the soul sharing is gonna be in a near perfect spot after this. Good to see some more Yamato nerfs too.

Can’t imagine it stays that way but pretty shocking when we’re 10+ games into the season already and only the Cavs and Celtics have winning records in the East.

They thankfully have less b2b later in the season. Hopefully they can rest him a bit more in games too but Murray has to be out of his funk before that happens more I think.

100/100 was too much and made the incentives kind of weird even though I liked the overall change. Feels better after this update but probably need more of a reduction still to even things out and allow counterplay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah probably will but I get making a quick tweak and then seeing how things play out between now and the next major update. Glad they didn’t wait 2 weeks to make some kind of nerf.

Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

Think if it wasn’t one of the defenders may get a hand on it depending on how quick they react but hard to say for sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah saw that, RIP first item removed from the game. Wonder if it was just too difficult to balance around.

They’re young and hungry too so its unlikely they take the foot of the gas lol

No Murray and no Gordon, this will be rough

Robert F Kennedy and Chase Oliver voters are peeling off votes from Trump not Harris.

If you look at the count of the RFK/ Oliver/ Libertarian voters they more or less cancel out the Green and socialist candidate/party voters

Lmao yes famous things leftists ask for like:

  1. Stating your difference from Biden would be to have a republican in your cabinet.
  2. Campaigning with Liz Cheney.
  3. Enacting the rights border policies.
  4. Walking back a commitment to ban fracking.
  5. Walking back support for Medicare 4 All
  6. Walking back support for the green new deal.
  7. Supplying and funding the genocide leftists and Arab voters explicitly wanted stopped.

They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.

They didn’t activate what should be their base enough and instead tried to court neocons and these mythical moderate republicans that would abandon trump in swaths for a righter wing democrat (hint: they will always prefer the actual republican).

If the democratic leadership takes this result as anything but an indictment of their attempt to abandon popular left policies to become the Republicans of 20 years ago they are hopeless. I’m not holding my breath though.
