i am curious -- why would all-star games be such spectacular offensive shows? i can understand it for real life, where a bunch of talented folks are showboatin' like they are back on the courts in the city -- but for our game engine, which presumably is not subject to such fits of emotionality, why would very good players -- and this means very good defensive players -- suddenly, collectively, predictably come together and score 300 points in a game. Does this indicate the game engine lets great offenses trump good or great defenses? or is it something else?
