    Nets vs Raptors, how serious this game can be?

    The game will be played in Europe, in London O2 Arena. How this will be a competitive match? It seems that this game will only serve to promote the NBA in Europe.
    After the loss to Suns, the New Jersey Nets arrived in London on Tuesday morning. Deron Williams said he is too tired and that he had no time even one day to rest since he came to New Jersey.
    And this is what Vujacic said: "Honestly, travel is terrible. It takes a lot out of you, it takes your legs away, especially for the shooters."
    On the other hand Raptors arrived in London Wednesday morning and later afternoon had first practice at O2 Arena.


    Both teams are tired, probably we will not see a strong defense but considering all the circumstances it seems to me that the best option is under. Thr line is 202.5 at Pinnacle at this moment.

    This game is a coin flip, reminds me of the All-Star one.
    And Vujacic sucks with or without the travel... NEXT!

    When you have already mentioned the all-star game, still maybe it is not the smartest thing to go with under here. Perhaps is the best just to skip this match and just watch basketball. But on the other hand, who the hell would watch Nets vs. Raptors, if some money is not involved?

    THIS IS VERYYYYY SERIOUS GAME . Especially for those of us who have no work , or class and have nothing to do but drink all afternoon and wager lol
    haha

    But on a valuable note, this game is garbage , but the beers will help... Personally, I think the under has some value here. or the Raptors +3... Toronto has a bunch of a international players who may want to make some family and friends proud and the under has hit 6 of the last 10 times these teams have played. Only 207 (with OT) was the total of the the nets phoenix game and phx is an offensive powerhouse. Grab a 12 and take the under 203 !

    phoenix hasn't recently (weeks and weeks, really) been involved in the shootouts of the first half of the season, or last season. much better defensive focus since the trade. also, spot against the nets was in the middle of a brutal road trip.

    anybody taking the under in an international promo game that involves TORONTO and a hungry new set of teammates lead by one of the best points in the game is nuts. They showed up on tues/wed. It is now friday... Legs'll be fine. The nba knows that there are plenty of games that people can watch in europe that end in a 79-72 score. I wonnnnnnnnder why they'd send a team like the raptors out to europe... The league wants a shootout. If you want to bet against what the league wants, be my guest.

    I think this is obviously a no-play situation, but if i had to i'd take the over and jersey.

    Also, like the over I think both teams will score a lot of points for the European fans.

    I think tired players are actually worse at defense rather than offense, hence more baskets. This being a promotional game is just another reason why to take over if anything... could be wrong though

    I think the Nets are awful offensively. That being said the Raptors are awful defensively. Gotta go with the Raptors in a shootout.

    2 bad teams and one of them is favoured by 3 on neutral court? Opinion says to stay with the dog here for a small play and let the chips fall where they may. Good luck to all.

    I agree this is a game that's best left alone... it's a near exhibition match. If I had to make a lean, I agree with the folks here that this is likely going to be a shoot-out, to put on a good show - Over makes sense to me
