    Opening night in the NBA, how hard should we pound the Spurs?

    at this line.
    Opens 7.5 and currently down to -3.5.
    Leanard not in the lineup does not justify a 4 point move here.

    It's hilarious listening to dumb fukks writing articles about the Spurs playing awful in the preseason (which they do quite often).
    Lot of ppl sucking off the Mavs this year and for good reason, they have made some good moves.
    BUT, this is the Spurs guys.
    BEST TEAM IN THE NBA. PERIOD.

    The Spurs also own the Mavs for years.

    Take advantage of this fukked up line the first day of the year.

    The line has continued to go down, so I am gonna wait a little longer and probably get -3 or maybe even 2.5.


    I again highly recommend waiting on betting the Spursuntil closer to gametime, as the line has been rapidly dropping.

    SPURS -3.5 (POSSIBLY LOWER AT GAMETIME)

    SPURS -160 ML
    Opening day boys, good luck this year.

    I like this at -3.5, not sure if we will be able to snatch the -3, benny.

    Leonard, Splitter, and Mills. Tough one for me, I think it could go either way.

    Damn, didn't even take one game this year for someone to mention "splitter is out" line ROFL.
    That's 3 years in a row now. I always get a good laugh with it. Although yours mentioned a couple others with it, so it loses a little humor somewhat.
    This is the Spurs.
    They always have ppl out. Business as usual. They just win.

    Spurs look like the play but I dunno, it feels like a tough game to me.

    One thing where we agree for sure is I don't know how anyone can take preseason into account. Literally beyond me.

    Good luck.

    You took the worst player I mentioned and laughed because I said he was out... I'm with you though, Spurs are deep enough they could win and cover. Just a tough call for me. BOL though.

    Yeah, every time I see the name Splitter being mentioned as a factor I just laugh. Nothing to do with your post really. Just gives me flashbacks. Let's cash a winner bud.

    For years now fading these big line moves with players out or a star especially have been $$ in the nba shit circus. And since when do Spurs ever floor a whole squad anyway? Either injuries or resting the dinosaurs this team hardly ever plays their whole squad together.

    Yeah nice looking 5 on paper Deemer but none of them believe in or play defense. And your 2 guards are just typical prototype nba players who don't know how to win and just there to put up #'s and get a paycheck. They will be a playoff team I believe but not going anywhere when it counts.

    Early in the season, I usually like to take the team that has continuity from last year, and fade the teams adding new pieces. Got to think Spurs will be in sync with pretty much same squad as last year. I could care less if Leonard and Splitter are out, they have always had that next man up mentality. Line movement does seem a bit extreme.

    the reasoning in the OP is awesome.

    what happened when the sharks played the kings in the nhl opener. kings had the fkn flag come down and all hilarity and sharks raped them because they had their season ended by them the previous season. 4-0

    now we get the only team that took the spurs to 7 last year, losing on the road to exit. they get to come in and watch the spurs celebrate and display their 5th banner in 15 years. do you really think the line moved 4 points solely as a result of kawhi being out?

    you got dirky dirk willing to take a paycut to get better, they improve their team in the offseason. you got monta, who honestly is a stud competitor.

    there is no way i would bet the spurs tonight, not betting either side. if anything, take monta and dirk in fan duel and call it good. and no spurs players.

    Mavs are good almost every year. It's nothing new. And the Spurs have beat them like 15 of the last 17 in the regular season.
    No one's saying the Mavs aren't good. I even said it in the post, they made a couple great moves.
    But as someone who has made a killing betting the Spurs over the years, this is a prime-time steal of a number IMO.

    AND also for the line watchers, the moneyline is in the 150's now so continue to wait and gain value on the lines for this game.
