You can't be serious; Lowe and Fogolin strong defensively?  They may be
considered more defensive than Paul Coffe, but I would say their 
defensive abilities is questionable, and definetely not all-star caliber.

I myself enjoy watching defensive games, and cores like 2:1 or 3:2, but you may
be right for an all-star game, which I usually don't seem to enjoy that much
