Yes...players seemed to play harder in past allstar games...now they are more concerned about being healthy for the playoffs...maybe this means Ray Allen explodes for 60?
Jermaine O'Neal is out due to injury -- Rasheed Wallace to start at the 4.
Four Pistons in the game -- Flip Saunders has said that he will play all four at once, love it. Tayshaun Prince should be there, too. Over the last few games especially, nobody from Detroit has played better than Prince. Shaq gets in by being Shaq -- his numbers are down this year. He's in mothballs til the playoffs. Miami lost to Dallas by almost 40 last night - with Shaq playing. Nice D!
I would have liked to see KG start over TMac as well. KG should have a lifetime appointment as a starting all-star as far as I'm concerned. I'd start Shawn Marion over TMac without hesitation. Would like to see Carmelo Anthony instead of Ray Allen or Pau Gasol. Good to see Kobe starting -- hope he drops 50. I agree with LeBron, Iverson, Wade, Nash all starting. Bosh is an exciting player too.
East by 6. MVP...Billups or Bryant.
