Nets have 39 games left - how many do they cover?

W0lfy · 01-24-10, 01:03 AM

I don't think there has ever been a worse team in the league. LAWRENCE FRANK WE'RE SORRY COME BACK.

lakerboy · 01-24-10, 01:04 AM

I really want people here to post there opinion.It will show at the end of the year how folks watch this sport.

MoneySpeaks · 01-24-10, 01:06 AM

I would take the under. Nets are horrible.

BernardMadoff · 01-24-10, 01:07 AM

It may very well go over because now books are really on to them and will add 4-5 extra points that they wouldnt have otherwise.

TT77 · 01-24-10, 01:10 AM

i will take the alternate line under 5.5 +3000

alamo · 01-24-10, 01:20 AM

I will take the Over. If they have any pride at all that is. Especially for their home fans.They are almost guaranteed the first round draft pick (from my understanding but I could be wrong!) so if they have any pride at all they will try and build even if it for next season. Right now though its hard to see. Another destruction tonight and still no sign of them turning this around. Anyone know what the worst % record a team has recorded in the NBA in recent years ? This nets team sure look like they might be headed for it !

The NBA has a draft lottery. Being the worst team guarantees jack shit. As for the over/under I want to take the over but are the books really gonna start making them 20 point dogs?

NBAStats · 01-24-10, 01:35 AM

There will good spots for them throughout the course of the rest of the year. I would set it.. (assuming nickel juice, adjust accordingly for what juice you bet on)

o19.5 -105
u19.5 -105

I wouldn't bet on either, but if you put a gun to my head i'd take the over.

lakerboy · 01-24-10, 01:37 AM

no team in the last ten years has covered less than 27 games

lakerboy · 01-24-10, 01:38 AM

im trying to help folks here

cruyff · 01-24-10, 01:41 AM

Definitely over.

NBAStats · 01-24-10, 01:41 AM

And you should be helping. People have probably lost a few games betting the Nets this year, but shying away from teams you have lost on in the past is foolish in that you are giving up some good opportunities.

yisman · 01-24-10, 01:44 AM

a dozen

treece · 01-24-10, 01:49 AM

15.

talnted · 01-24-10, 01:51 AM

the wont cover much

ninja33 · 01-24-10, 01:56 AM

I for one am going to continue betting against them until either the lines get ridiculous (20+) or they show they can actually be competitive. I think that day will come at some point, so I'll go with the over. But until then, I'm going to keep betting against them

eberetta1 · 01-24-10, 01:57 AM

Under for sure. Won some more money off them today. Thank you Nets. I'll give them 20 pts the rest of the year.

texhooper · 01-24-10, 01:59 AM

post all star break they will start getting numbers where they would really have to buttf*ck each other on the court during play to not at least backdoor.

Me too.

Grandmaster B · 01-24-10, 02:06 AM

UNDER for sure

sonnybaby · 01-24-10, 02:10 AM

Over

texhooper · 01-24-10, 02:11 AM

tonight was one thing, they were in a pretty bad spot, and this is the "we need to make it a point to finish games" time of year. but i bet after the break they'll be getting double digits every night and teams will do what they need to do to win and not much more and the nets will cover more than they should.

but the squares will keep betting against them not realizing the books always win in the long run- oh wait the nets cant cover

texhooper · 01-24-10, 02:33 AM

hahaha i can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not hahaha...i was like "cool, oh wait...yeah, forgot about that...shit...".

i think you're agreeing with me though.

jdhender · 01-24-10, 03:00 AM

it has gotten ridiculous with new jersey ...... i am really curious to see what kind of lines we start seeing ..... what has been the highest spread of all time in an nba game ?

GD · 01-24-10, 03:10 AM

yeah excactly jd.....books will start winnin....if they change the spread to say 25......
i choose when i play nj not to beat the spread....just seems to be most days...

stakagrp · 01-24-10, 05:00 AM

Anyone that has been betting agains the Nets thus far have prosper, but we all know the books will somehow play it into their favor by inflating the line even more down the stretch. It almost looks like New Jersey are tanking it in every game purposely. Best thing to do is stay away or wait til 2nd half to bet on them because they will always be in a deficit at the half.

Glitch · 01-24-10, 05:04 AM

they will eventually be +30 for the last 5 games of the season and they will cover one of those games

PAPSMEAR · 01-24-10, 05:08 AM

1 in 3 so I'm looking at about 13. Definitely on the under 20 at -225.

PAPSMEAR · 01-24-10, 05:09 AM

they are the marist of the NBA

AzNDooM · 01-24-10, 05:25 AM

I would say Under 19.5. Judging by their first half they are only ATS 13-28-1. However, assuming the books have made the adjustment then I would agree w/ you that an over can be taken a look at.

They are just playing horrible, no motivation, injuries can be a factor in second half, in addition as season nears end they will lose just to probably increase there chance at improving lottery draft pick. In addition, the teams they play near the end of the season (April) at that stage will have play against playoff bound contenders such as New Orleans, Miwaukee, Chicago, Charlotte, Miami and will be mostly road games. Only Indiana and Washington are the teams they will have a chance to beat and they have to beat these two teams on the road.

parexa · 01-24-10, 05:28 AM

Nets will be a money maker as a home dog. Next four games are at home against crappy teams I just need to see what the books are offering.

mkasad23 · 01-24-10, 06:25 AM

under vegas can still make tons of money with nets losing games as long as they keep the spread over 15 something like nets+21.5 people would jump on and still lose

Desert Tortoise · 01-24-10, 06:53 AM

Is this an actual prop somewhere, or just hypothetical?
