That was pretty intense the last 5 minutes or so. Durant was clutch.

when Wade went out with his injury, the East came roaring back

Is there really any question that LeBron is way better than Derrick Rose and still deserves the MVP award?

The league MVP shouldn't be a footnote in the All-Star game.

Not the first time they'll be wrong. Yao was voted in, McGee lost the dunk competition...these games are a popularity contest...not meant to be taken seriously.

It depends on how you define MVP. If it truly means most valuable player, then Rose is it. The Bulls would be a borderline playoff team without him.

McGee got totally jobbed last night. Ray got snubbed out of the all-star game MVP award a few years ago when they gave it to Lebron as well.

It seemed to me both Lebron and Kobe were more concerned about winning the all star game then winning in the regular season. Gloryhogs.  ::)

Nowitzki has a good case as well if you are using that criteria. Lebron is better than both, but I just wish it was named Most Outstanding Player and it'd be a lot easier to sort out.

I think everyone agrees that LeBron and others are better then Rose, but Rose has the bulls "overachieving" and "overcoming" a bunch of injuries and is basically doing what LeBron did for the cavs...carrying a bunch of scrubs + an injured Boozer/Noah to a top record.

No it'd be Dirk.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Borderline playoff team is pretty generous... they'd be a lottery team with no Derrick Rose. In that sense, Rose is definitely the MVP favorite. LBJ def does a lot for the Heat, but they wouldn't be lost without him.

Heck, they may have actually been able to use the money earmarked for him to go get a legit defensive center to better compliment Bosh/Wade. I'm joking, btw... Sort of...

Entertaining game.

U really thought so?  I thought it was pretty horrible IMO.  I guess this year just puts the frosting on the cake and I'm not really into All-Star games anymore.

I had really low expectation...so, for me, it was entertaining in the end. You had higher expectations, I guess.
