What a horrible and biassed coach. He put 4 of his underserving Detroit players for way to many minutes. Pierce hardly saw the ball when out there. He put Ben Wallace in for more minutes than Shaq (starter). And Rasheed Wallace had practically the same minutes as Carter (starter). If Prince had been the fifth underserving All Star, fans would have been treated to Detroit vs. West All stars.

What you should really be angry about is the horrible choices of starting lineups in the first place.
Yeah horrible coaching how dare Flip play the guys who were the most effective on the floor how dare he try and win the game how dare he try and make the game interesting by having in players who are willing to play D to play the game close
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DTownPiston313:</div><div class="quote_post">ur wrong the pistons got them back in the game they were the only players who played Defense</div> Ben Wallace played 24 minutes. Bosh played 16 minutes. Ben Wallace had 8 rebounds. Bosh had 8 rebounds. Ben wallace had 0 points. Bosh had 8 points. Just my 2cents but i dont think Ben Wallace or Rasheed Wallace should of been in the all star game. I think better choices would of been Dwight Howard and Arenas. Not sure who would come in for the injured J. Oneal, but i'm sure i can find someone more deserving than those 2.
I’m not too sure what to think of Flip Saunders coaching decisions near the end of the game, but I do know that Dwight Howard should have been selected over either Rasheed Wallace or Ben Wallace. Don't come back saying their team is doing better so they should be rewarded with 4 all-stars. The All-Star game should not be made into a team achievement, that’s what the NBA playoffs are for.
You guys are right, maybe Rasheed could have done better, I do agree that Dwight Howard could have took his spot and maybe done better

Anyone who thinks Ben Wallace didn't deserve or shouldn't of been in the all-star game needs his head checked.
ben although having a relatively down year, deserve to be on the roster rasheed is stretching it... hamilton...a bit...although he's having a career year That been said The major reason the east has a come behind because the piston players play defence and they have chemistry defence and chemistry wins any game doesn't matter if it's pick up or allstar game
hohoyoyoyo you are smart for saying that Ben Wallace deserved to be be an all-star and <u>cliplove777 </u>how do you call the best team in the league undeserving
Big Ben's double-swat on Pau Gasol pretty much summed up what the Pistons lineup did in that game. Bosh, like everyone else who wasn't a Piston, didn't play any defense. He got a lot of minutes for a first-time All-Star that isn't a guard. There's nothing to complain about.
First off, Shaq had some foul trouble so Big Ben got minutes. There were only two guys who were centers on the Eastern squad, so they split the minutes, Shaq did get good PT. The Pistons actually played well on both ends, so I don't think it was bad. Bosh can't defend centers like Big Ben. Vince Carter was playing non-existant defense on Tmac, the East actually started to come back once Vince came off the floor.

You don't see almost all the starters of Dallas or San Antonio playing in the all star game. You see the distinct few who achieve greater things individually. Its not the team that gets put in the All Star game.
err...how was his coaching horrible when the east won, and the minutes were pretty evenly distributed. it was a good game...why has there always got to be SOMEONE to find something to complain about? and to make it worse...the complaint is completely faulty. people who are dumb...here are the minutes vince had 18 rip had 13 bosh had 17 sheed had 17 chauncey had 16 pierce had 15 shaq had 23 ben had 24 lebron and wade led the way with 31 mins a piece at least check your "facts" first, before you go off complaining about something that isnt even correct. you just end up looking like an idiot 2006 ASG box score <div class="quote_poster">Quoting vcwannabe15:</div><div class="quote_post">He barely played Vince! What's the point of starting him when you won't play him?</div> he played 18 minutes. more then any reserve guard or forward on the east squad. what more do you want? he got more minutes then chauncey or marion (who i know is on the west) and both had better games then he did. and not by a little bit either...they both had WAAAY better games and were playing much better then vince. people...quit letting your biases cloud your opinions

And even he didnt deserve the minutes that he got. The starting position arnt supposed to get close to or less minutes than the reserves. All the detroit players got either similar or more minutes than the starters. Detroit played for almost the entire 4th quarter!!!!! Flip Saunders was completely biased when distributing the minutes between his players.
