JACK BRAYMAN
I'm going to play the NBA All-Star Game under the posted number. I know this game brought us 369 points last year, but let's not forget that included Kobe Bryant's final appearance.
This year there is a lot more tension. I mean, I know this is supposed to be a weekend of camaraderie and everyone gets together to chill and have fun, but once this game starts the rivalries kick in.
And with the West, there are rivalries within.
The East is going to want to slow the pace, and keep the ball out of the West's hands, given all the scorers it has. There are plenty of defensive specialists on the East who can make things difficult, during those stretches in the All-Star Game, that the players take it more serious than as if they were playing in a Harlem Globetrotters game.
This number is a bit high, and I'll play this under.
