All-Star Bore

It's time to do-away with this annual circus!!! It's become totally unwatchable!!

196 points by the west in the NBA all-star game. What a joke!! There was a time when it used to be semi-competitive effort-wise but that was long ago. Why even bother to have coaches present? Just map out beforehand, who plays what minutes and stop the game at the appointed spots for substitutes. Like we used to do with youth basketball. I think you would have to be pretty self-centered to accept the mvp award for that circus. Those borderline guys that didn't get chosen for the rosters ought to be happy they were excluded. If the nba was truly concerned with their image, they'd do-away with it. You'd think that at least one or two people in their league office would recognize the travesty that it's become.

And the east had something like 175 points and still lost by twenty. I hope that they made some sort of defensive effort in the final moments to stop the west from scoring 200 points. But I doubt it.

You would think that the players themselves would realize what a joke that they've turned this game into. I sure as hell don't want to hear a single participant talking about having respect for the game of basketball. I'd love to hear just one player speak out against what it's become.
