    The West run had more to do with Wade, Bron, and Howard going to the bench.

    Yao is just too slow to do anything in games like this.

    lol, sadly, I think it was just Yao. This isn't his venue.

    This is terrible. Is it me or has the level of play in all star games gone down dramatically? More often than not I am seeing guys just coming down with the ball and going one on one. Where are the creative plays?

    Paul Pierce thinks this is All Paul Game.

    I don't get why people seem shocked about Yao's lack of game in the all-star game.

    LOL, ease up. We're just taking friendly jabs at Yao's suckitude in this environment. You aren't aware of anything that the rest of us aren't.

    This is just a forum on the all-star game. No need to police the comments.

    Your right that it isn't his venue but I think he would do all right in a traditional lineup versus the starting lineup.

    I don't think anybody is shocked. They're just observing it and commenting on it like every other all-star game he's been in.

    This might be the most boring All-Star Game I've ever seen. Probably because the bench guys suck, relatively speaking.
