All Star Game changes

It is beyond all my comprehension why the NBL would put on games like this at this stage of the season or at any time throughout the season. The competition is currently as tough as hell, players are already carrying niggly injuries but still play through them. They can't afford to aggravate these injuries any further or even start new ones through the All Star games. Does the NBL not take the regular season competition seriously that they would not only put on games like this but also penalise players if they try to back out.

It may be a good PR excercise to do this, but what other benefits are there? If it is attracting people to the games because it is an important event, then all games should be treated like an important event.

If anyone could enlighten me on the real importance of these games, please advise.

I feel a case of deja vu coming on, didn't I say the same thing about the Blitz just before the start of the season?
