Before you complain, look at the effects of the All-Star game to all stars

In Tuesday's games, all allstars were performing poorly. Interesting read.

AFTER THE BIG EASY, HARD TIMES
Having been to 10 All-Star Weekends - including gatherings in Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas - we can unequivocally say this: It's one big party. Which may go a long way toward explaining the lingering effects several All-Stars seemed to be experiencing when the games that count resumed Tuesday night. In addition to the "Yow!" by Yao, Portland's Brandon Roy was considerably off the mark in a home loss to Sacramento, as was Detroit's usually dynamic duo of Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace in a somewhat telling home loss to Orlando. In the same game, the Magic somehow survived a rare double-single by Dwight Howard, who may have been the prematurely anointed as the Man of Steel. Meanwhile, the Spurs didn't need any help from Tim Duncan, who shot like he was playing for the other team.
