East by 10! Although I don't see DRose and Deng playing major minutes!

The East is so much better than the West it's not even funny.

East starters>>West starters but overall team I believe the opposite.

LMA,Gasol,Love,Nowitzki>>>>>Bosh,Hibbert,Deng,Pierce

Westbrook,Nash,Parker>>Rondo,Iguodala,Deron

You think the West has the better overall team? I don't see how... The East starting 5 is much stronger than the West, and the benches are about even, I actually see an East advantage there though. Well there's not a snowball's chance in hell you can convince me that Westbrook, Nash and Tony Parker are better than Rondo, Deron and Iggy, but you can definitely make the case for LMA over Bosh and Gasol over Hibbert. Comparing Love and Nowitzki to Deng and Pierce is just Special person so I'll leave that alone. I dunno man, to each his own, but I think the East team is just flat out better, starting 5 and bench.

OK let's say that the West bench are way better than the East bench in forwards and C's and it is about even in guards.I don't know.As I see the rosters I believe that the East team will have a good advantage when the starters will be in but the West team will have a HUGE advantage when the bench players will be in.

Love,LMA and Griffin and Nowitzki are by far the best PFs in the game.And the only PF the east team has is Bosh who can't be compared to anyone of the west PFs..Not even close.

Generally I see the East team lacking in tall guys except Howard.I don't know how they can make it against the West's beasts for 48 minutes.

I agree the West has the advantage in PF's, that's really not even debatable. The Guards aren't even though, the East easily has the advantage there. I can break it down if need be. The East also has the most dominant big man in Dwight Howard, so while they may lack size at the Power Forward position, they make up for it with Superman. The only advantages the West has is Durant over Melo, and their 4 PF's vs the East's 1.

The biggest factor we have to consider is it's an all-star game, so minutes aren't being distributed on a normal rotation. So it could end up being all these big guys play heavy minutes for the West and they end up dominating the East on the boards. It's definitely possible, but on the flip side, the East might be able to run the West to death, so to each advantage there is a disadvantage, and it's all pure speculation anyways, but it should be interesting to see how it shakes down.

 

[thechosenone]

Also we won't have defenses..

 

[B18]

East should win. But these games are 100% unpredictable so who knows..

 

[clonetrooper264]

Depends on who drains the most 3s/gets the most alley oops in the first quarter. xD

Thibs: Lu only 47 minutes today.Is that OK?
Deng: Who cares?I am an all star!

I love this guy!

 

[Dementia]

Just looking at the teams on the stage. I literally can't stand anybody on the East except Rose and Deng. Too many egos and they think their the shit and none of em even have a ring.
