    Nets and Clips are both bad, but the Nets have been losing to much for an average team. The Nets aren't the worst of the worst.. They are a lil below average.. I'm telling you right now, DON'T PICK THE CLIPPERS... Take the net's, I Guarantee you they will win.. You need to think like a bookie man.. Bookie's want the people to think the nets been losing pretty bad and to some damn bad teams, while L.A Clippers have been coming close to beating some of the elite teams.. The clippers won't win this one though.. Records show the nets are better but that really means nothing.. The Clippers just played tonight anyway, and never play a team on the 2nd night of B2B nights unless it's a really good team who playss 1 night, then goes up against a horrible team like Minnesota the next night..

    Nets win by 5+ Points

Nets are just a lil under average but still bad.. Clipers aint all that either.. Believe me, the Nets will win this one

    NBA is a crap shoot sometimes. Totals are much friendlier to me.

    Nets are bad, but not bad enough to not cover against the clippers... Vince Carter > Corey Maggette, Richard Jefferson > Sam Cassell, Josh Boone - Chris Kaman about equal...Shawn Williams shot blocking will lay an ass whooping down on the clippers.

    Easy win for NJ

    didn't mean it like that. Boone couldn't shoot a free throw if his career was on the line... but they both put up the same amount of points is what i'm saying..Boone and Kama should be about equal... not stat wise, but through the game... putting up same points, possible shot blocks

    dude what are you talking about. line is -1 because it will be a close game. kaman, maggette,mobley, thorton, cassell, play well enough to stay close often. I will take them at home vs. a team of guys that do not want to even be in new jersey

    Here is some food for thought. New Jersey hasn't played since the 15th. The Clippers played last night. They are on back to backs.

    good luck guys. I'm staying away from this game. I have enough picked already

    Just because the line is NJ -1 doesn't guarantee it will be a close game. It just means that the teams are about equal to each other and the game SHOULD be close, but it doesn't guarantee it..

    Either way I predict a win by NJ +4 or more points

    Clippers can be tough to beat at home, even if they are on a back 2 back. Clippers can lose by a buzzer shot to Dallas, then beat Pheonix, not to mention losing by 6 to Spurs in the same week. I'll be going with Clips. GL.

    The Clippers didn't impress me 1 bit against Phoenix. I was more disgusted with the way Phoenix played then satisified with how L.A played.. The clippers are a bad home team team just as bad as a road team.. The reason they beat Phoenix is because the Suns couldn't shoot their way out of a barrel in that game.. The Suns feed off the 3 point jumpshot, and they just weren't taking that many 3's that game and when they were, most of em weren't falling.

    I'm taking the Nets here. The Clippers put up a good game against Dallas yes, but the Phoenix game was a complete rip. Like I said, it was Phoenix bad performance that cost them the game, not L.A's great performance. When you look at both teams overall, you can't say L.A will beat all these other elite teams in the league because they lost a buzzer beater against Dallas and defeated Phoenix. Phoenix is a premiere team that completely failed to even reach triple digits against a L.A Clippers team that puts up the lowest point total in the NBA... I actually layed $100 on Phoenix and lost that day.. Phoenix is # 1 in the league while L.A is dead last.. Phoenix should have blown L.A out of the water, and L.A's homefield advantage hafd nothing to do with it IMO..

    The spurs also haven't been doing so well lately either.. I'm staying away from their games because they been fading to some rather bad teams lately.

    I also never said the L.A Clippers and NJ net's game wouldn't be close. Clippers been keeping close matchups. I said just because the line is NJ -1 doesn't GUARANTEE that the game will be close. NJ can win by 15+ points for all we know.. My prediction is Jersey takes it by 4-8 points

    2 underachieving teams. home team usually fares better in these types of match ups. IMO, clips should be -2 or -3

    The Nets just suck. Wow, if they couldn't beat the Clippers, don't expect them to be over .500 with their season record.. They can't even beat crappy azz L.A who is playin Back to back games where homefield advantage means nothing..

    When a bad team trying their best to compete like the Clippers did with San Antonio, Dallas ,and Phoenix. You must give them credits and the respect they have earned. We are talking about a bad team against the top 3 teams in the west, not some teams like Minnesota or Seattle. When you play against 3 top teams in the same week and allowed average only 91 points per game against they 3... trust me, it's not just luck. Their heart and defense had something to do with it. It's pretty impressive.

    Jeff, give them the respect they have earned.

    Never said I didn't respect their ability to compete. I don't give them credit for the Phoenix game because I witnessed that game and Phoenix was just AWFUL!!!! Absolutely awful. The clips are a bad team record wise, but Phoenix should have blown them out of the water. Watching that game live, Phoenix couldn't get a bucket to drop no matter how hard they tried. I believe it was Phoenix's awful shooting and not Clippers defense that stopped them from prevailing. That game, and u had to of seen it to judge, was Phoenix bad shooting that gave L.A the win... Phoenix not getting to 100 also proves this.. Phoenix the # 1 scoring team in the league against a Clippers team that is dead last in the NBA in points scored and awful FG %, well phoenix should have won,.. I give the clipps credit for the Dallas and S.A game, but hey, look how close Miami came to defeating Dallas right??

    All Im sayin is L.A Is a bad team record wise.. If some kid like ronald can't separate fact from opinion, he's gonna have a hard time getting along with other users here. If I won the nets game I wouldnt be running around all happy bragging and disrespecting top handicappers telling them they don't know $hit. if this kid doesn't know gamblers will and experts will NEVER win 100 %, then he shouldn't be gambling.. Gamblers will never be perfect, nor will experts picks

    I guess good teams have bad games from time to time.

    Maybe a mature way to deal with the situation will be "let go". Just walk away.

    Good luck to both of you tomorrow!
