allstar rosters and results

Line opened at West -5 and o/u 263, It has moved to -2.5 and dropping still everywhere. Barring an injury or a late Inactive on the West, I dont see the East winning or coverring as apparently everyone else does. The East has a great roster of atheletes and MVP canidates, meanwhile the West roster resembles somewhat of a team to me and it starts with the point guard position in Paul , Billups and Parker compared to first timers Mo Williams, Devin Harris and a guy that is not playing that well in Allen Iverson. Lebron and Wade are amazing players, but i think the west is full of prideful vets at key spots, its a west home game and I think the line was right from the start.

my prediction : West 143 East 134
