NBA commissioner Adam Silver did not seem happy with the lack of defensive effort displayed during Sunday’s NBA All-Star game.
Over the weekend, Silver believed that changing the format back from East vs West and cutting back on some of the musical performances would make this year’s All-Star more competitive.

“We’d gotten carried away a little bit with the entertainment aspect,” Silver told the media. “I think we’re going to see a good game tomorrow night.”
Unfortunately for Silver, the game was a blowout and the Eastern Conference broke the record for most points scored by an All-Star team.
The East team finishes with 211 points.

After the game, fans noted that Silver appeared to look disgusted while congratulating the Eastern Conference for winning the game.
“To the Eastern Conference All-Stars. You scored the most points. Well, congratulations.”

Adam Silver: "To the Eastern Conference All-Stars. You scored the most points. Well, congratulations." Silver would never say this publicly be he had to hate that game. On Saturday he all but promised a more competitive, lower scoring game. Nope.

It’s currently unclear how the NBA plans to fix the All-Star game, something they have been saying for years, but it’s clear the league has hit rock bottom with the game this year.
