318 Points

There was a lot of scoring in the the NBA All-Star game last night. The LOSING team had 155 points.

Yawn.

I didn't think it possible, but when your only goal is to get the ball and dunk it as quickly as you can, you make an already difficult game to watch even more boring to sit through.

Worse?

ESPN's top 10 plays will show all of them endlessly today.

In other news, Downton Abbey, at a slightly slower pace, was great last night. Best quote? "If you're going to deliberately complicate your life, at least do it for the right reason."

Downton wins the showdown.

It wasn't even close.

Runner-up? The USA ice dancing team at the Olympics. Perfection. It was a slam dunk.

Come to think of it, the only place that term has bad connotations for me is in the game of basketball.
