My picks for the All-Star game 2019 :- 

 

  • EAST
  1. Leonard Kawhi 
  2. Giannis Antetokounmpou
  3. Kyrie Irving
  4. Joel Embiid 
  5. Victor Oladipo 

 

  • WEST
  1. Luka Doncic
  2. James harden 
  3. Lebron James 
  4. Paul George 
  5. Stephen Curry 

Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

In the east only Oladipo is debatable. I think Lowry, Simmons, Beal or Walker also would have been solid picks.

In the west Doncic doesn't belong in the starting 5, but maybe he could get the last remaining spot for forwards.

Curry, James and Harden definitely belong in the starting 5. I think it would make sense to pick a center (Jokic, Davis) and either Durant or George for the remaining 2 spots.

harden continous his amazing streak,3x times over 57 in last 5 games,21 times over 30 points

but its hard to watch this run and gun basket,hardly some defence

Most of his points (i think around 88 %) are unassisted and he draws a lot of foul calls that other players wouldn't get. In addition to that his efficiency isn't too high and he produces tons of turnovers. I still prefer watching Curry, LeBron or The Greak Freak (despite him not being able to hit a long-range shot to save his life) on offense.

RIP Indiana Pacers , really sad news , he's definitely one of the best players in the EAST 

Really sad to see my favorite player getting injured like this (but i know the feeling back from when Paul George was my favorite player). I guess it always has to be Indiana ...

The sad thing is that there were people who saw this injury coming, Indiana clearly mismanaged his knee problems this season.

Withouth Oladipo i dont see them challenging Toronto, Boston, Philly or the Bucks.

For me only Giannis, Kawhi, Embiid and Kyrie are definitely ahead of him this season. Walker, Simmons and Butler are about equal and of course a fit Porzingis as well, but Oladipo for sure is a top 10 player in the east.

Well, that's one thing we have in common. :d I've always liked his style of play, ever since I first saw him in Orlando. He really hasn't had luck with injuries in his career so far, hope he'll be able to recover from this one completely.

    • There are currently no grounds to consider Ghiotto as a favourite for the 5000. He has never won any important 5000 event while dominating the 10 km at the same time. Roest always won the same pattern, with Ghiotto losing all his advantage in the last 2 laps. We will see what the Italian's form will be like now and how tactically he wants to play it. I would also not forget about Eitrem from Norway, who is much younger from these two and has a lot of room for development.
    • Some good news: Matt Gaetz is out from his position as attorney general, basically two months before he'd even start.
    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
