Trae has to be fined after that. I'm not even good at reading lips and can still see he called the ref a "fucking bitch ass".

It wasn’t even a foul...he set a screen and fell because he’s 175 lbs

And he tried to sell it with the flop.

Do they not have the angle where WCS hit him in the face with a forearm shove?

I don't see it well in this one but the pick is hard and as Trae goes down WCS his him in the face.
Go Suns!

Trae is used to getting the calls. When he doesn’t get one, he’s going to go ballistic.

I would really like to see the AS game cancelled this year. Pick the teams and even the rookies, just don't actually hold the event. Give everyone a high-five and move on.

Is the all-star weekend really that big of a money maker?

It's a massive corporate partner event/showcase. The actual game itself is minimal compared to the dozens of sponsored events and parties over the course of the weekend.

The usual All-Star Weekend was packed with those events. This year...it'll be a lot more watered down but the sponsors will still want to get their money's worth. A lot of contractual obligations the league would have to make up somehow if there weren't some kind of All-Star weekend plus the usual TV stuff.

The players have plenty of power to get the game canceled. They just have to come together and say they'd rather not play. That'd be the end of it.

Maybe they could do a game with puppies wearing the All Star’s jerseys similar to the Puppy Bowl.

I wish they'd take a page out of the old Rock n Jock games and add in a 25 pt shot, mix in some celebs or other athletes from different sports. This year maybe add some first responders, nurses, doctors from local hospitals.
