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

**SaffaCappa** · 01-24-10, 07:24 AM

Under for me, Nets are garbage!

**Glitch** · 01-24-10, 08:04 AM

man they are really trash. courtney lee should start taking charge more instead of being just a roleplayer like he always has been

**SolidDala** · 01-24-10, 08:49 AM

I would say they are top 2 in History for worst team ever! And think they have a good chance of taking it

So I would guess they Cover 12-15 games. Hopes so been fading them since december with great success

**secret007** · 01-24-10, 09:15 AM

Should be over 19.5 but you never know, this is Nets we are talking about!

**Z_Wipf** · 01-24-10, 10:10 AM

Over. The spread is eventually going to get so high that even the Nets can handle it.

how big would the spread have to be on average

**HoulihansTX** · 01-24-10, 11:43 AM

Over 19 +185

Books will adjust, b/c they cant have people betting 10,000 against the Nets every game.

Besides the team will put forth better efforts as the season matures, thus catching teams not taking them seriously.

**sdtrader** · 01-24-10, 03:21 PM

Books will adjust but the Nets suck that bad I am still going to go under barely

**lakerboy** · 01-30-10, 01:38 AM

2-0 since i started this thread

**Quagmire27** · 01-30-10, 01:54 AM

Only 37 Nets games remaining, right ?

anyway, 3 more @ home than road, so the +185 is way off, gotta play over.

my bad, shoulda checked the dates

**lakerboy** · 02-02-10, 01:35 AM

3-0 right now with the pistons in town tonight. i bet most have faded them the last 3 games and lost

**Gonna_Win** · 02-02-10, 01:44 AM

has there been worst teams then how the nets are now? i say they cover around 30-40% of the rest of their games

**ttime61** · 02-02-10, 08:45 AM

Someone asked earlier in thread if this was hypo or not. I did not see a reply if so or not.I checked BETUS couldn't find a prop on this. But if there is 1 out there I'm sure they may be seeing which way the public is leaning so as to adjust their lines.

**maseda17** · 02-02-10, 08:49 AM

Over. In the first half of the season when it is difficult to gauge how historically awful a team is going to be the lines aren't nearly as large as what we will see out of them going forward. I mean every road game against a .500 or better team is going to be 15-20 points here on out.

**Aubsdad** · 02-02-10, 11:09 AM

Over. As an opponent, how do you get motivated to play these guys?

And what a great time to rest your starters. The Nets should be motivated to win 6 more games to avoid becoming the worst in NBA history ('72-'73 Sixers).

Of course 3 years later the Sixers got this guy named Julius Erving.......

**laziie** · 02-02-10, 11:27 AM

nets lose tonight??

**robert_wrath** · 02-02-10, 01:43 PM

Under 20 -225

I would take the over

What would you say?

Considering the rate the Nets are playing, they're likely to cover twice as many wins as their current record ( 8 ). The UNDER 20 ( -225 ) all the way.

**lakerboy** · 02-02-10, 08:52 PM

Should be 4-0 after tonite.

**moneymaker09** · 02-02-10, 10:50 PM

was this an actual prop bet

my local offered me that bet for fun after i told him they would cover it. i took it for 2 units- no biggie

3-1 so far

**whatsgood5** · 02-02-10, 11:29 PM

I'd guess they'll cover like 15 or something, wouldn't bet on it though

**wolverines** · 02-03-10, 12:04 AM

nets feaking suc. i will never bet on them again.

**blix177** · 02-03-10, 12:05 AM

10!

**lenahanj** · 02-03-10, 12:06 AM

honestly on nights like tonight when they are +2/2.5 around there they are going to win those about 20% of the time they have won 4 games and yet the books still come up with the some rediculously spread for some reason

**dknight734** · 02-03-10, 12:09 AM

i don't see them winning tomorrow against the raptors. i see the raps wanting to bounce back after a loss to ind today. especially at home against a weak nets squad.

It damn well should be a prop bet. All people taking the UNDER are likely to win. LOL.

**tonyhomo** · 02-03-10, 10:31 AM

they will probably cover more games than they won't if you take the opening number

right but winning and covering are two completely different things, and linesmakers could overadjust the lines for their terrible beginning at the end of the season... I almost think the Yes should have worse odds, I'd take that bet definitely.

**lakerboy** · 02-17-10, 01:55 PM

7-2-1 ats since i posted this. Also 4-0-1 ats on the road. Tonight getting 7 points at home against the unpredictable heat. I actually like miami tonight.

**gwiz** · 02-17-10, 02:21 PM

good thread bud

I told a friend they was gonna get hot after noticing the two in a row and everybody would miss out from fear

just the nature of the professional

they have pride and none of them are quitters

**ParlayKing** · 02-17-10, 02:27 PM

I've been watching the nets games recently, i gotta admit they suck. but they've been getting better and scoring more points than the first half of the season. Still, however inconsistent. I wont rely on them.

Nice start. I think the Nets will play a little better the rest of the way. They'll get their 10 wins so they don't break the record.

**lakerboy** · 03-14-10, 01:06 PM

15-7-1 ATS since i posted this. LOL at all those who said under- rookies

What's your O/U for their last 16 games that they will cover LB? They have 10 home games left.
It seems you have a pretty good read on them...
