I didn't mind the relay format either. I don't think it was a necessary change, but it worked out alright and it did make for that dramatic finish, so I'm fine with it. Agreed on the extra money balls, it seems like a cheap way to set some new records.

As for the dunk contest, I'm a traditionalist in that respect, so discourage those gimmicks and go back to the old format. It worked fine for the D-League contest.

Yes, the new dunk contest format isn't that good.

Freestyle round just felt "off" for the West. Felt like they didn't plan or practice anything. Everybody was saying how Lillard was doing great for his height. Why was he there in the first place with only 8 dunks this season? West could have had a better chance if it was another dunker in Lillard's place. I'm not hating Lillard, I like the kid.

Also, more dunks please. Increase the freestyle time limit or think of something new, but there should be more dunks and every player should be able to complete what they had planned.

And I felt the Paul George dunk was better than the Wall one.

Thumb downward for shadowgrin's eye soaring double sig.

On topic, agreed.

The one below is old now. I really like the one above. It gives me a shy/Greek/magical/80s vibe. Of course, Olynyk is more than that.

He should have just asked Jao for a new sig. He's looking dumb now and I lost respect for him despite his stellar 2/4 prediction.
