Didn't have to time to make a graphic, but talk about the game in here.

I'm a little disappointed Doc didn't throw Pierce a bone for his great year (as well as loyalty to the organization when they sucked, could've demanded a trade and got one like seemingly everyone does these days) and let him start over Bosh, but oh well.

He said he needed size, like winning the game actually means nothing and like it should be played like a regular game.

Eh I think its best to be political, I think we all remember when Isaiah was the head coach of the all star game.

Yeah, Bosh deserved to start, no question. Doc will still give Pierce and Allen their time, and if he doesn't, good - get them some rest.

If Ray catches fire (which would be the first time this season) look for him as a possible game MVP candidate ala Booby Gibson in the Rook/Soph game.

Pierce's game isn't flashy enough to get MVP unless he puts up a ridiculous amount of points, otherwise, it will be another ho-hum all-star game for perrenial all-star Paul Pierce.

yeah Paul's game doesn't fit the all-star format

I really wish they would just play the friggin game.

Was Doc just yawning?

We are off to a good start...

And miss out on all this hoopla?

Good idea.

You mean you didn't want to hear the longest national anthem performance in history? I literally could have made a sandwich and been back before it ended.

this feels like more of a charity benefit, than an All Star Game.

I made two tostadas!

But it was an exceptional rendition, IMO.

Whoever came up with the double-sided idea for the jerseys is an idiot.

They are always trying to come up with something "new" and they always end up with the most gaudy looking things.

I like the way this game is shaping up, it looks competitive.

The East almost looks interested in playing defense!!!

Must be KG's influence

Pierce shooting pretty well so far

Nice first quarter for Pierce and Dwight howard, Yao looked really bad

2004 FTW.

The double-sided jerseys are terrible, but I like the New Orleans inspired logo designs. Nice touch. But it's bad when you can't tell which team anyone plays for because the jerseys look THE SAME.

All the graphic design for this All-Star game is top notch.
