2008 all-star Q-lights:

1. How come Barkley and Smith weren't the game analysts.
Magic is the worst 'speaker' in the history of sports.
Add more Sagersideline interviews.
Mike the point guards in the game.

2. Piston players ARE boring. Chauncey and Rip are the worst greatest backcourt ever for an allstar game. I couldnt wait for that 'all-world pass from Billups to a wide open Rip off a curl' play.

3. I dozed off 3 times IN the 4th qtr. THe last 3 minutes, not so much.

4. Whenever I think Lebron aint so much when he is in a Cavs game, I see him in the World Games or an AllStar game and realize he is THE ONE MAN GANG. That end of the game dunk was as signature as it gets.

5. Sheed is the best defensive forward in the game. Duncan and Garnett hate playing against him.

6. Is it me or are NBA National TV games the softest, worst produced games in all sports? They dont show enough Puppies, the announcers stink and the tv timeouts ruin the flow.

7. Worst uniforms in the history of man!!! Even GOD said "GOdd$%#$@!"

I have not gone back to review the game on my DVR, but got home in time enough to see the the game via the TNT replay starting at the beginning in the second qtr. Was there a halftime show? All I was saw was some old jocks in the booth wishing they were still out their playing. Did Toni Braxton or Beyonce open the show? If so I will go back and watch the beginning

The halftime show was a series of jazz numbers introduced by Harry Connick Jr. He played with Ellis Marsalis, and then there was a mix of younger and older performers, including Allen Touissant. No Beyonce getting booed at halftime, a la the 2001 Finals in Philly.

Yeah, I was thinking to myself that I would have for sure thrown a pass to the other team with the different colors on the front and back of the jerseys. Maybe that is why the game got sloppy.

Thank you. I was beginning to feel all alone in this thread.

In fact I would say that there are people giving free advice in all areas where people charge to give advice.

Therefore you are saying that there is no such thing as a person of integrity who works for pay giving advice of any kind.

Interesting.

Buddhafan, there is no need to take everything I say seriously or literally.

Thanks D4E, I guess for time constraints they didn't show any halftime performances on the TNT replay. That is why I was checking if someone was on the beginning of the show.

Would you rather see Rip shoot or a Kobe/Lebron acrobatic dunk in a game that means absolutely nothing?

I like watching well designed and executed plays. That pass from Lebran to Howard in the post was the most exciting play to me because it required 2 players and pin-point accuracy. How Lebran made that pass was very impressive.

In theory it sounds exciting to watch Kobe make all those athletic moves. In reality a lot of it is taking shots that he should not be taking and diving into the paint looking for the call. Can be very frusterating if he is playing against your team.
