    The East has a big edge on interior defense with Horford/Howard at C. The West has a huge edge on FT% (81% vs 75%) and a greater ability to spread the floor with their perimeter shooters. I don't believe that the Celtics players will mesh well with the rest of the East team. Howard & Lebron playing nice with Kevin Garnett for a meaningless game? please... Overall, I think there's a lot more ego on the Eastern team while the West is a combination of young players and older professionals that don't bring the drama onto the court. I like Carmelo and Westbrook in particular to be key for the West team, and for the West to pull out the win.

    This is a joke. With all the drama surrounding him in the last couple of weeks, look at his point production over that span. He's averaging 4 ppg higher in his last 10 games than his season average (29ppg vs 24.9 on average). His coaching isn't relevant to his performance on the floor.

    If the game is a coin flip, take the West to get value.

    Like the starters on East to provide plenty at the end of the game.

    It's a coin-flip but with no defense you gotta go with the West

    Fellas. This is the All-Star game. The only pick in this things should be the over. No defence isever played in these.

    With a team getting points though, has it ever been close? I don't follow the all star game closely but it seems like it's usually a 10-15 point game at the end from what I remember. It seems like a moot point to take the west because they're getting points. But it is a game to bet on for fun, if anything.

    West ML (+143) x1

    That's about as good as it's going to get I think...

    Also:
    MVP: Dirk (+2805) x0.25 (Now down to +2017)
    MVP: Westbrook (+2078) x0.25
    MVP: Melo (+1967) x0.25

    Dirk and Melo are two of the hottest players coming into the ASB and at those odds, it was worth a little fun bet.

    I don't understand who's still laying money on the East at this point when it's ballooned up to -3.5 from a pk...

    I was thinking East at first......but the West has value on the ML.....the way the public is voting you can tell they love Lebron James and Wade or maybe it's just Lebron
