Re: NBA AllStar Competitions
My picks:
Mike miller +650- Career year at great value. Gerald Green -110- Tyrus thomas will not have the crowd or the judges behind him. Dwight howard is too big and big men rarely do well. And Nate robinson shouldn't have won last year and will be hardpressed to repeat. The little man dunking thing was "SOOOO last year" Wade +200- Don't love this one, but he seems to combine the skill, with the speed and the quickness. I can rule out lebron since he is not nearly as quick as the other 3. Bavetta -320- Not taking this one, at least not yet. But it will be fun to watch. |

Re: NBA AllStar Competitions
i agree with the 'little man' argument, however, if he goes out there and nails his first 2 dunks ON THE FIRST TRY, he could get the crowd behind him...
and this may be a bit of a homer pick, but damon jones will win this competition more than once out of 5 times...2 or 3 cavs pregame shows in the last week or two have shown him talking about the 3 point shootout, and how he's been practicing, etc.. if it stays at +500, i'll be on him... probably will stay away from the dunk contest, if only because the guy i think is going to win is getting terrrrrrible odds...c'mon, a negative number?? |

Re: NBA AllStar Competitions
I have a unit on Gerald Green -110 and 1/2 unit on Jason Terry +700. My analysis on Green was the same as primetime32's, and my Jason Terry analysis was:
1. He's done the 3 point shootout before. 2. He had the highest odds at the time. Wish I had got ImNew's prices though. *EDIT: Oh, and 1/2 unit on Barkley +200 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] -SonnyJay |

Re: NBA AllStar Competitions
Of my 4 books, I could only get Gerald Green at -120. If the line gets better before the contest, I'll be adding another unit.

Re: NBA AllStar Competitions
Mike Miller at these odds is incredible value.He should be one of the top 2 favorites. The only negative is he hurt his leg about a week ago and his shot has been off a little since. Last game I attended at Memphis I watched Mike in pregame warmups and watched him make 23 3 pointers in a row and 33 out of 34 and he routinely does this. He may choke, his leg may still be bothering him but still this is great value on him.
