1st of 2 automatic all-star weekend bets

[sports student]

Sophomores-5

think the rookies have only won this game one time and usually are big blowouts. Sophs actually have 3 times as much NBA experience and have much more knowledge on how the NBA game is played at this point. Looking over the rosters it seems they are more even than usual, on the other hand the line is usually -11 or so. Going to stick with tradition here. If this one wins will come back with 2nd bet for weekend which is part of the actual all-star game.

The last time the Rookies won was in 2000, with Elton Brand as the MVP. Since then, almost every game has been a blowout...

Personally, I also like the UNDER, considering only 2x in the last almost 10years has the game went over 250.

Rookies have 3 seven footers on the roster Oden, Gasol, and Lopez. They also have Beasely, Mayo, and Rose. Think they have a shot tonight will make a small play on the Rookies ML think they can win outright.

When looking over the landscape of the rosters, it does look like it could end up being high scoring. It also looks like them rookies could very well be better.

The sophomores scoring kind of scares me when it comes to Scola, Horford, Stuckey, and Brooks. All are guys who aren't necessarily look to score 1st guys.

Lefty, I'm with you now...going to put a play on ROOKIES ML

Total is too tough to call but I am on the Rookies +5 here. :shrug:

I like the UNDER for 1 big reason...

Look at the big men for both squads....

Oden, Lopez, Gasol, Horford, Scola

Eventually, at some point those guys are going to be on the court and none of them can light up the nets...

But every one of those guys shoots over 50% from the field and your're probably talking about 10% of the shots taken for the game among em.

Halves are 20 minutes, no quarters, right? GL with your play.
