When do we find out the reserves?
Utah has the best record in the NBA and look every bit like a regular season buzzsaw. Lakers have Lebron and are the bigger name.
Combine that with the fact that Kawhi isn't exactly out there running PR campaigns, and there's no surprise he's a bit under the radar to some, but the production is absolutely there.
I know Zion is an All-Star but do I want him to be one? Once he goes to the game I don't want him being around some of these divas. We don't need the AD fiasco to occur again.
I want him to get the nod for his resume, but I don't want there to be any actual game this year at all so I'm hoping the fact that Lebron and Kawhi have both spoken against it means there's some pressure to cancel the actual event.
I know the NBA officially has been pushing it hard so it's probably just wishful thinking.
ATL mayor wants no partying. So pretty much they making them work locked in hotel rooms during what would have been a vacation. Yeah I’m curious who will actually show up to this event.
Was Brown ever an option for us to land for the Jrue trade?
Pelicans have the 7th highest audience pull despite the league trying to get them to carry non-marquee teams.

This is why Zion is an all-star and is on national TV more than your favorite team https://t.co/i9pRkJEBtS pic.twitter.com/qlHxiANYbL
Explains a lot of the media/fan support for Zion so early in All-star type voting.
Our TV schedule has basically been them saying ''here, play this team nobody watches and see if you can get them some views'' and it just works because everyone wants to watch Zion.
Also congratulations Julius Randle

It's also why fan base means more than a supposed tv market. Green Bay is by far the NFL's smallest market, but is top 3 in terms of fan base. Same for the New Orleans Saints, who has the same tv market as the Pelicans, but is easily top 15 in terms of fan base. And regularly has large draws on national tv. More than teams like the Los Angeles Rams.
I'd also add that not only Zion is the draw, but you have to admit, Lonzo brings in his large fan base as well.
Which is why, as those numbers prove, I'm hesitant to think the Pelicans will be willing to trade Lonzo. These things matter. This is a business.
