Then the focus is on the Pistons' performance in close games as the All Star game and trade deadline creep closer... Then it's time to talk about the All Star game! Ben and Jordan run through the starters and reserves in each conference, debating the few differences in their ballots. Ben favors the numbers and his picks give the two a chance to talk about how they decided on their All Stars.
