Are they back to playing East vs West or will it be another Giannis vs Lebron pickup game?  If its E vs W, the West is going to blow them away.

Giannis and Embiid might be too much size for the West to handle

Yep, plus Harden alone might shoot the West out of the game with a 1-17 performance  :laugh:

I'm glad at least one of the Celtics got a starting spot, even if it wasn't the best player on the team (Tatum).  Kemba is a worthy choice, though, given the best PG in the east has barely played so far this year.

Eh Tatum isnt close to being the best player on the team. Tatum is great, deserving of an all-star spot. But he is more inconsistent, selfish and inefficient than Walker and Brown. I mean in terms of true shooting, Tatum only beats out Smart among our top 8 players, while Brown is second only to Kanter.

Its also no question that Kemba is our best player. That Laker game was a good example. In that game, our ball movement started from Kemba's penetration and unselfishness.

Agree. Tatum is much more limited. If his shot's not falling he loses a lot of effectiveness offensively. Kemba can distribute the ball, play off ball, act as a decoy, drive and kick. He can create for others as well as himself and make them better.

Potentially Tatum could be our best but he's not quite there yet.

Kemba's step back three is always a beauty to watch.

KEmba is a breath of fresh air compared to....

REcently he has taken a backseat to putting up shots and is making sure Tatum, Brown etc are being fed

This guy is definitely team 1st

also like his effort on D.  Little man but with a big heart
