Compared to the ranting about the Bobcats starting two All-Stars, fans are even more critical of this year's All-Star head coach.
The Pistons with a 39-7 record and the Spurs at 36-10 are currently leading the Eastern and Western conferences respectively, with a noticeable gap between them and the second place in their respective divisions, essentially locking in their coaches as the All-Star head coaches.
A fan expressed their despair — is the nightmare of last year's Finals going to repeat itself during the All-Star weekend?
The Pistons' style of play this season is completely different from before, combining offense and defense seamlessly, and its entertainment value doesn't fall short of the Timberwolves' "Big Three" era. They have been leading the league standings since the regular season began, yet their television ratings are even lower than last season.
