All-Star 2006 Game: Well, what do you know? My prediction for L. James as MVP and the East winning could not have been more accurate. Maybe someone should start listening to the Next NBA instead of C. Barkley. Here is a quick recap of the game.
Most surprising
5. Free throw shooting was awful. I don’t have the stats but it must have been like 50% with one air-ball. Not naming who but it was a big guy from the East. Take a guess. Not that big guy, the other big guy.
4. The East came back with 17 pts down at half-time and won it with the defense of the 4 Pistons.
3. T. McGrady had a big game, scored about 34 points even though he’s depressed.
2. C. Bosh is no longer bald and P. Gasol has...a beard! Yeah, the last time I saw these two guys play was about 2 years ago. TNT and ESPN don’t broadcast either of these two teams.
1. Finally, those were some ugly uniforms. That surprised the hell out of me. What were they thinking!
Least surprising
5. Yao didn’t do much. He started the game but never gets to finish it.
4. The least turn over occurs when the four Pistons were in the game together.
3. Another high scoring game and again came down to the last minute.
2. C. Barkley being wrong again.
1. A lot of bad passes, a lot of turn overs, and a really poor ending to the game with a bad shot by McGrady and then a turn over by K. Brayant. Even the Rookie game was played better and more exciting. I guess that explains why the All-Star is broadcast through cable and no longer on national TV.
