Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.
All Star weekend is here. Tonight’s schedule:
- 6:00 PM CT—All Star celebrity game (ESPN)
- 8:00 PM CT—Rising Stars G1; Team Austin vs Team Melo (Peacock)
- 8:55 PM CT—Rising Stars G2; Team Vince vs Team T-Mac (Peacock)
- 9:35 PM CT—Rising Stars Championship; winner of G1 vs winner of G2 (Peacock)
Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper are on Team Melo, and hopefully they’ll have a good game and win a trophy at the end. Carter Bryant was a last minute addition to Team Vince, and he’s also in the dunk contest tomorrow, so not all of the Spurs participants can be Rising Stars champions tonight. It’s going to be a fun night for the players and fans, but I don’t expect to see much quality basketball. Not tonight, not all weekend.
Game Prediction:
Stephon Castle finds is hard to not play defense, gets benched by Melo, who never played defense in his life.
