11:45 - Dwyane Wade starts the third quarter with a high degree of difficulty lay-up. I know MJ was capable of some impressive moves, but D-Wade may be the best I've ever seen at finding creative ways to finish around the basket. 10:50 - Yao Ming just attempted a 3. I love it! By the way, LeBron is your MVP, I'm calling it now. He's got 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists so far.
8:45 - I'm sitting in the press box with Kevin Pelton from the Sonics website and Damien Pierce from the Rockets, each of whom is doing their own live blog of tonight's activities. Damien wants me to mention that Yao just got fouled by Dwight Howard, and he is not happy about it. Yao just attemped another three, but this one missed by several feet. Keep chuckin, Yao.6:30 - Joe Johnson, back in for the East! It appears he is being given the reins to the offense, as no other guards are currently on the floor with him. The East has opened up a 16-point lead at 95-79.
5:35 - Hey Paul Pierce. Make a jumpshot when Joe feeds you the ball, son!
4:50 - Ray Allen shows him how it's done, drilling a three from the corner off a feed from JJ.
2:15 - The West is creeping back in this thing. 100-93 East.
0:00 - Alright, Paul Pierce is irritating me. First of all, he has passed up JJ several times in this quarter when he was wide open. Secondly, he just dribbled out the last 20 seconds of the period before missing a contested three-pointer. It's an All-Star game dude. Just shoot the ball when you get it or give it to someone who will. 106-93 East as we head to the final (and hopefully quite competitive) quarter.
