    Well, I thought that the All-Star game was actually really good. It was nice to see a lot of defense and see the game still be high-scoring. I like the Kobe-Shaq Co-MVPs. But,I'm glad to get back to the regular season.

    Did you guys like the game? I thought it really made up for last night...

    Good recap of the game for those who missed it: http://probuckets.blogspot.com/2009/02/final-countdown-all-star-game-in-depth.html

    Game was good, but I think the MVP voting was rigged.

    Still very fun to watch.

    Yeah, when I saw that both of them got MVP, I laughed. Cause if you were watching, you saw that Sager was interviewing Shaq and Kobe in the third quarter and asked them who should be the MVP.

    Kind of a foreshadowing thing going on there. :D

    Probably the least inspiring All-Star weekend in the event's history.

    The sport is basically becoming WWE these days.

    Haha yeah. Although, the West seemed like they were into the game but the East seemed like they thought it was just going to be a "clear-the-lane dunkfest" like it was in the final 2 minutes.

    Phil Jackson had the West playing zone defense, that pretty much took all the fun out of it.

    The East also sucked in the second half, that might have something to do with the lack of fun/win as well.

    Yeah. The game was really competitive in the first half with the East only down 5 at halftime. Then, the West just took over.
