Books arent dumb, they set a low line to take-in a lot of phx bets. But also setting such a low line get people to think line is fishy, so "fix" must be in and NJ will win. I think line will be pushed to 3 by game time, and thats when the books will take-in a lot of ML/+3 on nets.
Games go both ways; sometimes public wins sometimes sharps. I feel this is a set-up game for phx/bos. They will handle the nets, then get anywhere from +8 to +10 vs boston, people will be taking phx, then books will slam public with boston blowing them out.
Its a fact that williams shot is hampered by his wrist injury. And would you bet on a team with sasha as a #2? Also remember grant hill missed the first game, and the suns mentality then (nj coming to town, yawn) and now (we are a couple games out of playoffs, lets win these games). Remember 2 weeks ago, utah fired their head coach, the buzz was how deron loves tyrone corbin, and they came out up by a dozen? Phx erased deficit and won by a dozen themselves.
The suns play well against crap teams; they cant beat dallas, etc. but generally do well here, and I dont see nets scoring at the pace the suns do. Even if NJ has a slight lead at the break, I see phx passing them; as for argument they are tired, I believe in general b2b is overrated; besides books adjust a point or two for that as well I'm sure.
I can be wrong, but now that I am seeing posters say theres value on nets, I love nets, etc. with all due respect, the only value nets have as a team is getting double digits.
Just my take on tonight, GL, I respect everyone's opinion and decision.
