    Why no Vegas love for the Spurs... ever?
    Week after week, it's Miami and Lakers getting the -10 to -12 spreads, while the team with the best record in the NBA gets -4 to -5. The Spurs are also rocking a 105 PPG average, 4th best in the NBA. No serious injuries or anything. Now the Spurs are playing the completely mediocre Bucks, and they're only -3 favorites.

    Not that I haven't minded cashing in multiple times the past few weeks on these low spreads, I'm just curious as to why?

      Its because Spurs rarely get 20 point blowout wins or 55 point wins like the lakers

          This is silly. Miami and Lakers dont get 10 or 12 points spreads on the ROAD! They get them at home and so does SA. They have not been very good on the road in the last few games and this is an old team on a b2b. They have a good b2b upto this point but age will catchup to them. I really dont see what problem you can have with this line or the Spurs not getting respect, if you think its too low then go all in.

              They got -6.5 at Wolves last night. I felt like Vegas was respecting them too much on that one.

                because it's not tough to price a team with same personnel last 15 years

                trust me, Spurs have nowhere to go but down

                at best they're a breakeven ATS team going forward

                    A ridiculous amount of people are on the Spurs spread (90% according to pregame) and the line hasn't moved anywhere. Perhaps I should worry about my bet.

                    I've got some semblance of a system, and for some reason the Spurs are always at the top of the list, basically just a win % potential projection vs the early spread. Perhaps I will add a "Team is full of Decrepit Senior Citizens and Country Kitchen Buffet was Closed this Morning" filter to my "system."

                      The one thing you get betting the Spurs is ateam that plays hard and wants to win

                        Yeah, except when they dont and the coach gives says he aint making adjustments cause the other team is just hitting shot and its Christmas (orl loss) or pull his starters with 3 minutes left in a 9 point game (NY loss). Other then that, team plays hard and wants to win.

                          Shazam! Went 3-0 for tonight's bets. I don't know if it's just pure luck, but the NBA has been very profitable for me so far.
