Hoods only purpose out there is to antagonize Lyles lol.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

All hood does is dunk. Lol. Who knew??

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Like I said all Rodney does is dunk

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Idiots!!! Calling Neto, Nato.

Some really nice young talent in this Rising Stars game. The 2015 class is really a stand-out class.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Towns, Porzingis, Okafor, Jokic, Turner... that draft stocked the league with quality bigs.

I'm not surprised Hood didn't get huge numbers (despite being efficient) - this is clown basketball. Hood's going to come back from all-star break and score 30.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I thought Towns and Porzingis looked awesome. Wiggins looked great.

 

[devin_c]

This is the type of event where Zach Lavine shines. Our players are too disciplined for this ****.

Add Hezonja, Jokic, and Mudiay to that list.

why did Neto get invited to this game? He's not good enough to be there.

He's the starting PG of a Western playoff team... only 8 players in the NBA has that credential.

Lyles was pretty bad. Hood played okay and only a little. Neto looked good passing but his D outside a team concept isn't good. Nobody got hurt. We win.

Right.

Gobert shined last year, so that means....?

 

[devin_c]

Right.

Gobert shined last year, so that means....?

It means that he's a worthless player and has no future in the NBA.

There is no "D" in exhibition. Seriously, the only defense I saw in that game was during the last 2 mins when the World team almost caught up. Oh, and Hood challenged Lyles a bit on one shot. IIRC, Lyles then tried to score with a turnaround and missed.

But I could have been wrong. After several minutes of really paying attention, I got up and did other things while leaving the TV on. I got sick of just watching dunks and wide-open threes. It's like getting to an arena early and watching shoot-around,
