View Full Version : All Star Game Summary
None of this mattered. It was sweet as hell to watch the Pistons get in there and take it over (yes, haters, take it over.... 11 straight points to start the 4th, to me, is taking a game over in crunch time. argue if you like, but I really don't give a shit), it was nice to see LeBron go off a bit (too many 3's, if you ask me), and Jesus Christ, did Kobe get 8 assists???? The bottom line is that this horrid break between games that matter is finally over, and this circus known as the All Star game is done for another season. To me, aside from the Pistons owning the West :elephant , the best part was to see the human side of some of these guys, like TD jokin around with KG and shit like that. And also proving that once and for all, Vince Carter is king, yes king, of the dumbasses.

Ray Allen Yao Ming and Pau are not exactly hard core all stars.
Ray is iffy, Yao shouldnt even come close, and Pau is just barely an all star.
Period.

Is it me or is Ray Allen the most ungrateful SOB out there?
Every interview I saw or heard of his this weekend he seemed as if he were doing the ASG a favor or that he just didn't want to be there.
I even still liked him after the crap he tried to pull with Bruce, but if nothing personal was happening with him to cause his permanent funk, he goes on my short list of athletes I really dislike and openly root against.

When the Pistons were on the floor in the 2nd half (when they dominated), these were the guys that were on the floor for the west in that strech: Tony, KG, Dirk, Ray, Marion, Gasol, and Yao. And even T-Mac, Nash, and Kobe came in towards the end.
I'd say if someone put that team together in real life you'd be pretty darn impressed.

Shut up man. Piston fans are idiots. First it was "we get no respect" than it was "we should of had five Pistons in the all star game" and now "Pistons owning the West" STFU, you guys should have had only three Pistons, you guys are only a few games ahead of Dallas and the Spurs. You guys haven't done anything special to have five let alone four Pistons in the ASG. The west was obviously obsessed with getting TMac the mpv. Maybe Bron and Wade had something to do with the East winning and Tmac being so mentally depressed the West sacraficed their game so the boy can shoot his pains away. Pistonds don't own shit. You guys think you're the best thing since sliced bread. STFU Pistons aren't that good.

I can't remember who said it, I think it was either Kenny Smith or Barkley, one of them said before the game that there's no way the Pistons would be able to keep up with the West all stars. "No way". Yeah, no way my ass.

Check out the overall plus/minus for the East:
AI: -5
Wade: -8
Lebron: -10
Vince: -10
Shaq: -15
Billups: +15
Ben: +20
Rip: +8
Sheed: +10
Pierce: +7
Arenas: -6
Bosh: +4
That's Big Ben's impact right there. ZERO points, an Air-ball FT, yet he dominates the game. Ben should have gotten MVP.

i knew that shit would happen
pistons are so gay
remmeber when rip said 'all 5 of us should be here'

It is an All-Star game and we have people posting +/- stats etc. Wow.
The Pistons came in, knew where each other where going to be and played harder than most of the players. Kudo's to them for helping make the game interesting.
Someone said Ben Wallace should be MVP of this game? :lol

The west sucks tonight. How could they blow 21 points lead in the 2nd half? I just thought the game was over after the first half.
Well guys stop hating. You have to admit that the pistons brought some defense into the game and that really changed the game. LBJ and AI were able to erase the deficit, but if the pistons didn't play some defense the east would not win. Big ben couldn't score but did you notice that in the 4th quarter, when the east lead by 10 points Big ben left the court. And all of a sudden the west made a run to tie the game.
Well I can say the pistons was a major factor the east win. I am not saying the pistons win the west. But imagine without those mins the pistons played in the game, the east could hardly win.

So what would you suggest...All-Star teams get to play with each other for three seasons before they play a game?
When all four Pistons were on the floor, they were running plays that they've been using for a long time as a team ... the west did not have that advantage, so it's not stupid for some to feel like that wasn't exactly fair.
I just thought it was a fun game to watch, whoever won....and how awesome that would be to actually have a team with so many talented players. Too bad such a team would put them about 400X over the salary cap. :depressed :lol
And I'm with Barkley...kinda....if those guys (the West) had more than a couple of days to play together, they'd beat those Pistons like a red-headed stepchild. :devil :lol

tim duncan and tony parker were also the ones in there. i guess you left them out for a reason? maybe because they had 5 turnover's a piece.lol

02-20-2006, 04:54 PM
I think it was Steve Kerr who made the comment (after one of Tony's turnovers) that Tony is used to passing the ball to his teammates and knows which way they're going to cut. Shawn Marion cut the other way and Tony threw the ball behind him.
This is what people meant when they say that the East had an advantage - the 4 Pistons players are used to playing together.
Magic said before the game that one year the Lakers had 4 players and the west coach was Riley - he did the same thing - put all 4 lakers on the floor at the same time and won the game.

Flip couldn't do that because Chauncey is not a starter. Chauncey could only play with the bench. Once the starters enter Chauncey has to go because AI wouldn't play with the bench.

After the initial tipoff, Flip could move around the line up and assign minutes however he so chose to...which means, yes, Chauncey could have played with the starters.

What exactly is "fair" in this context? How many NBA games are really "Fair"?
Was it "fair" when a team has Shaq? Or Jordan in his prime? Or "the most fundamentally sound player" (or whatever Duncan's title is)?
Yes, having 4/5 of the Pistons starters on the bench ready to come in as a unit is an advantage. So was Johnson having the option to play five 7-footers. So was Flip having Shaq to start at center. Blah blah blah....yeah, the Pistons' defense got the East back in the game, but what's "unfair" about it? Should there be a limit on the number of players from a given team that can be All-Stars?
As I understand it, the coaches didn't have the option of voting for "FOUR PISTONS" as a reserve unit, each coach had to vote for the INDIVIDUALS he wanted to see, and when the votes were tallied four Pistons were selected. No option for "Yeah, send Rip, but ONLY if Billups is also going, otherwise send Michael Redd," no smoke-filled back room where Stern and the coaches hash out the reserve lineup or anything like that, just each head coach picking two guards, two forwards and a center, on his own, with no idea who the other coaches are picking. As it happened, no team in the West had four INDIVIDUAL players that won that ballot, but one team in the East did. What's "unfair" about that?

pistons were 7-4 against the west in their limited mins in the 1st half in which they cut a 4 pt lead to tie it.
pistions were also 20-9 in their limited mins in the 2nd half to bring the east ahead again for the 1st time since the beginnining of the 2nd period when they also again braught the east back so your comment holds no water.
billups was 6-10 15 pts 7 assist 4 rbs and only played 15 mins compared to lebrons 30 and wades 31.
