Ok let's hear your predictions, East or West? MVP?
Last year Kobe won it, this year I think Lebron will be out to prove a point.

I'm going to say East. Since I'm always wrong it will be the West. Let me know how I did because I'm not going to be watching.

I think the only reason the West won last year was because everyone was coasting and Kobe was the only one who actually took it seriously and played hard.
This year I think Lebron will be that guy

Its an all star game, how can you come close to predicting anything. Hardly anyone tries, there is no defense, there is no real play calling.

You mean the dunk contest or the other events too? I actually thought the 3 pt contest was pretty good, if a bit unfair to have 2 Heat players in it.
The dunk contest gets dumber and more pointless every year, but I knew long in advance that it would suck so I guess I'm not that disappointed about it. It's always gonna suck until they get rid of the props and have actual all-stars do it.

well said
I was very disappointed with the Hockey All star game this year.. nobody gave a crap.. everyone coasted around like it was a loose skate at practice, and nobody even tried
well, a lot more than previous years....

Well, this All-Star game is really strictly for NBA fans in the first place, not for people like you...who don't care about the NBA at all whether its pre-season, regular season, all star weekend or post season.

I will agree with that
BBall is 4 on my list of the Major 4

See that is the problem.. All star games are meant to draw in new fans and get them interested in the sport. Sadly it does the opposite. It re-affirms my not wanting to watch basketball at all.

Well as a Celtics fan, aren't you excited to see how the Celtics players will perform? As a Bulls fan I'm always willing to watch how Bulls players perform, even in exhibition games. During the offseason I even watched Bull players in overseas leagues.

Then you are indeed very young. Back in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00's that was the whole purpose of the game. To showcase the talent of the league and inspire more people to watch the product.
lately though its more about giving the players a mini-vacation and letting them screw around while they lose fans due to boredom.

Why? Hardly anyone plays hard, and no one plays defense. Its not like any of the players care either. If that giant white guy from Minnesota goes out and scores a bazillion shots tonight its not like its any indication that he's decent.

Well when they were overseas playing against Euro's, it didn't mean anything either. You just watch because you're a fan and you want to see how these guys develop, what they add to their game, etc.

So you are watching to see how guys have developed in a game where no one is playing defense, and hardly anyone is trying.... I see.

I'm watching because I want to see Derrick and Luol. I know Derrick hates Wade and Lebron, now he's on the same team as them, I want to see how he performs. He's usually very subdued in these exhibition games and defers to everyone else, he hates exhibition games.
Luol, this is his fist all star game, I want to see what shots he takes, where he misses and hits from. I'm a hardcore fan, the littlest things about this game interest me.

Bouncing the ball off of Lebron's back? Classic. Doing it right have Lebron missed an uncontested dunk? Priceless.

This is not surprising. It's all about offense, dunks and lobs in this game. East has no chance in a game like this against the run n' gun West

This game has actually been relatively competitive. I'm enjoying watching Kobe vs Lebron.

Not a bad game at all. 1 point difference with 22 seconds to play. Not sure what else anybody could want from an All Star game.

It's an All Star Game. If you didn't like that game you just don't like basketball.
Yeah there was no defense played but there's never any defense played in the entire Western conference, who cares. There's two sides to the court and offense is fun to watch too.
All I wanted was a competitive game and every NBA fan should be satisfied with that game

I thought that was one of the best All Star games I've seen in several years.

Agreed. The 3rd/4th quarter was pretty good.

I can't believe there isn't more talk of Wades hit on Kobe, breaking his nose. For an all-star game with "no defense", that foul was completely uncalled for

I'm surprised people still watch All Star weekend. It's a total waste and like someone else mentioned on the first page, the fans always lose.
The game itself is meh. There is probably an unspoken rule that you don't play defense and showboating is encouraged.

He didn't intend to hit him in the face. It's obvious on the replays he was trying to wrap him up and just hit him in the nose on accident.
But you probably think it was intentional. and there will be no convincing you otherwise.

Even in college ball they got far too lax on calls. If they actually called everything properly I'd probably still watch it.

there was a low light i saw of Pierce that i was surprised they didn't call a foul on...kind of hooked and turned the guy and nothing. 
i find it odd though people are saying they enjoyed seeing the skill showcase.
any one of them can shoot uncontested and even barely contested...that's not really skill, and that is what a lot of that game was.
how many times did Love remove himself from the paint so someone could go in for a dunk?
sure there were moments of D and flashed of great contested moves, but it was not the norm for the game.

i agree there, but when the D just steps out of the way completely, you might as well just watch the dunk contest.
and before i get accused of being an NBA hater for looking at it this way, i think the ProBowl, the all star game of the sport i love the most, is complete trash as well for the same reasons i was unimpressed with yesterday.

I think the NBA is much more of an individualistic game than the NFL which is why I think the All Star games are better. It's an opportunity for the individuals to shine.
NFL is much more team oriented and the pro bowl is not a team game at all so any attempt to individualize it kinda goes against the grain.
