About the Allstar games... has it ever been hosted in cities with mediocre teams? this year its denver, last year was LA... and those were/are both good teams at its all star years... i dont remember the past ones i think its a sign, wherever all star games are hosted, the team is good. its an omen guys, have faith on the rockets, i believe we will rock next year... and maybe this year, who knows.
The All Star game was held in Washington DC not too long ago. They were not good then. Actually, I don't think they've been good once except for this year.
