The 2007 NBA All Star Game in Las Vegas is ON!

Las Vegas is ready for the biggest show of February.

The NBA's ''mid-season classic'' returns for it's 2007 offering as the best players from the Eastern Conference meet the towering giants of the Western Conference. It's the East going up against the West and judging by this year's starting line-ups, the East will definitely bow down to the West when it's all said and done.

This year, unlike last season's Detroit Pistons theme, the East will only have two Pistons on their roster. They snubbed Tayshaun Prince again. And to make matters worse for Detroit, Rasheed Wallace wasn't even asked to return.

Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups were selected as East reserves but snubbing Sheed and Tayshaun for a struggling Miami Heat tandem of Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal is just plain wrong.

Joining the Miami Heat tandem are the likes of LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas and the much improved Chris Bosh.

The West is where it's at this year. They were able to form one solid starting five, and that's saying with or without a Yao Ming at the starting center spot. Yao Ming won't be playing in this year's NBA All Star game in Las Vegas with him nursing an injury.

NO PROBLEM. The likes of Memo Okur and Dirk Nowitzki can definitely fill that void.

This year's West lineup is a mismatch waiting to happen compared to what the East came up with. The frontline of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan will definitely dwarf anyone on the court matched up against them while the backcourt of Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady can take advantage of their combination of size and speed against an East backcourt of two natural point guards.
