For some unknown reason, I thought it would be a good idea to watch Billy Crystal host (for the ninth time) the 2012 Oscars so I can't say that I watched much of the 2012 NBA All-Star Game tonight in Orlando.
I caught bits and pieces which is all that matters in that glorified dunking session. The West beat the East 152-149 and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant (36 points) captured the MVP award.
The two Boston Celtics-Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo-came off the bench and didn't have much of an impact. In 16 minutes, Rondo had two points, eight assists, four turnovers and two rebounds. He was 1 of 3 from the floor. Pierce had a brutal shooting performance, which is pretty tough to do when nobody is even thinking of playing defense on you. In 11 minutes, Pierce had three points on 1 for 8 shooting with two rebounds, a block and two turnovers. Me thinks, that might be the Truth's last All-Star game appearance.
Boston will regroup tomorrow in Cleveland before meeting the Cavaliers on Tuesday night in their 33rd game of the 66-game regular season. Brandon Bass and Rondo will return to a team that was on its death bed when we last saw it, in Oklahoma City.
