    sick to my stomach, but this is today's nba, 70 pt quarters are the norm now

    had a big chunk on cleveland/hornets under 117.5 first half

    after a 48 point first quarter, you'd think you'd be safe, lost it by 1 point on a phantom foul with 10 seconds on the clock, they scored 12 points in the last 87 seconds, 6 of them free throws

    also there were 33 free throws in the first half, whats up with that, who is telling these nba execs that its the free throws that draw the big crowds?


    also a 69 point quarter in nets game and 2x65 point quarters in knicks game

    when a third of the points is scored at the free throw line i doubt that its considered offense, pretty sure its decreasing viewer numbers

    They play on ice skates nowadays and the shot clock barely ticks before someone is jacking up a shot or ducking their head down and rolling to the rim. Plus all the touchy fouls... Unders are a conundrum.

    Unders aren't with it anymore. They're never safe in today's game with the lack of defense, three point shooting and fouls.

    thats so true, in most games nowadays, free throws and three pointers account for more than 50% of points scored

    Late in the season the refs can make some easy money with the overs. non playoff teams, new faces wanting to make a name for themselves, and fast paced ball. Nobody says a thing or notices, the fresh faces love seeing their overblown stats eyeing another 10 day contract, the refs on the over collect easy money and everybody's happy.

    You should have bet the under for the game. You would have won.

    NBA is a joke

    Nba is terrible now

    Any product that has lots of scoring becomes boring

    agree , NBA is unbetable for me. You could be on a dog +8 and be up 25pts in the 3rd and lose the spread by 10.

    I remember back to a time when only a handful of teams in the East averaged 100 points a game. Now there isn't one team that doesn't.

    Remember when 10 point leads actually meant something? What about 20?
