MINNESOTA [31-23] ALL-STAR GAME!

Good win, very high scoring.....

wow, Lebron got 20 points in 17 minutes before fouling out... that's pretty weird.

Yeah he had to keep leaving the court because he had too many fouls for the quarter. He was burning me when he WAS on though. I'm probably lucky he was fouling so much otherwise I would have gotten killed.

Gerald Green sinks a 3 and gives it to the visitors' bench


The Birdman catches this alley from Hudson for a nice jam.. notice the hole in his shorts...


Mason, always with the high-flying slams

ROOKIES 96 - SOPHOMORES 149


This Rookie vs Sophomores was not a game to remember, at least not for the rookies of this season. The rookies struggled to keep pace from the start, as hot-hand Andres Nocioni fired up early scoring a staggering 15 of the Sophomore's first 21 points.


Not surprisingly the Rookies were frantically trying to cull this onslaught and got in early foul trouble with Chris Paul having to take a seat not long into the game. This took out their main man and the Rooks continued to struggle to contain the hard hitting likes of Sophomore's number one man Dwight Howard, and bench player Emeka Okafor.


Before long everyone knew the game had turned into a circus and Andrew Iguodala embraced the opportunity to show off some of his more showy skills.


Not all bad news though for the rookies, especially for Seattle rookie Johan Petro who got the surprise start for the game and backed it up with a solid 17 points and 15 rebounds. Number one rookie pick Andrew Bogut also impressed with his work on the boards and stiff defence, coming up with 6 blocks by the end of the game.


An honourable mention goes to Chris Paul who finished with 25 points and 8 assists...


..but it was Dwight Howard who won the 2005-2006 NBA Rookie Challenge MVP, tallying a massive 35 points and 14 rebounds.



We all look forward to next season's Rookie game when this year's rookies become sophomores and have hopefully gained some more experience.

Why don't you do better recaps with Box Scores, more photos etc. And try to play not to simulate the game...

You might have the time to play every single game of an 82-game season complete with long recaps and more photos... I on the other hand also have a real life to attend to

Well I'm not saying u should play all the games, but play at least 30%, so far I haven't seen any of them (probably missed 'em) sorry.

Beh, i like this dynasty, but maybe yes, you can play at least the 50% of the games!

so far I haven't seen any of them (probably missed 'em) sorry.

Perhaps you should have checked earlier posts then.

EAST 131 - WEST 125


Recap:
Not much can be said about this game, it was a tightly fought contest that remained close all the way. Even though the East lead for most of the game, the West would not go away despite the scoring power of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James and the inside dominance of Shaquille O'Neal.


Kevin Garnett showed some power of his own, and was the best of the Western All-Stars with 27 points and 12 rebounds.


Tracy McGrady with his athletic ability and tight shooting was the second best for the West with 23 points.


Yao Ming was huge on defence with 8 blocks, and Baron Davis tried his heart out, eventually fouling out after scoring 17 and making 9 assists.


LeBron James finished with the All-Star MVP honours with 24 point, 8 rebounds and 3 steals.
