2011 NBA All-Star Game Pick Eastern Conference VS Western Conference

2011 NBA All-Star Game Pick Eastern Conference VS Western Conference: The All Star game is always fun, and while it’ll be hard to go away from the Eastern dominance of star-power, the West looks pretty well put together on the front line. I’ll have to dig deeper later in the week, but I’ll have a write-up and a pick, even for this princess game. Please take me back to the days where All-Star games were played with some passion. Where’s Larry Bird when you need him?

But if there’s any kind of edge I’m looking for in this one, I see it in the Eastern Conference. It seems like there is very good chemistry between groups of players in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics getting 4 players in the game and each of the Big Three from Miami making the team as well. When the Eastern Conference can play 4 of their starting 5 together in the All Star Game, and also go to 3 of Miami’s starting 5, they must have some kind of advantage, if that means running plays or just knowing each other.

The West is talented too, no doubt, and they have 3 great point guards that can really attack the Eastern Conference. This has been a game where point guards shine, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this game stayed close.

But the East just has too much, too much talent, too much chemistry, and some bigs that can really dominate down low. It is an All Star Game, all entertainment, but it seems the East has an advantage.
