Nobody betting NBA anymore?

[Darkside Magick]

Golden State Warriors +11.5 +135 vs Milwaukee Bucks

[JIBBBY]

Warriors have been playing better and covering of late.. I thought about playing the Warriors as well but couldn't stomach it and passed ..

Good job covering bud!!! https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/milwauk...rs-2020010809/

[IBetYou]

Well done. Bucks have been a strong bounce back team. No cover for them this time.

[ThaTopMoron]

Don't see anyone posting plays?

nope, garbage product

[MrSink]

1. Well of course you go under on players that can't shoot
2. Teams don't give up threes to the ball handler on a switch
3. If players didn't jump to contest shots the game would be a bit more enjoyable but shooting percentages would sky rocket. If running out with the hand up was enough then all coaches would drill it into their guys to stay down.

small defense sample. noone is trying . anyone saying that teams are playing defense it is just too hard is not watching games .

[BigdaddyQH]

nope, garbage product

Totally agree.

nobody wants to watch that trash

it’s too sporadic, nobody knows what the refs agenda is, how hard the players will try, how many minutes the coaches will play them etc...

It’s not the sport of basketball that I hate because I really do like basketball, I just don’t care for the NBA.

Even that white boy on the Mav’s said the NBA is much easier than the Euro league bc nobody plays defense in the NBA

last time I bet NBA I actually went 5-0 but it was one of those rare nights the good teams all tried hard

[Londmille]

5-0 is very good record

[KRIT]

NBA is such a grind. You need to really pay attention to each team to be able to bet it. NBA is all about spot plays and trying to figure out who is trying. I just prefer to bet sports where you know you get optimal effort from both teams. Don’t got time to figure out if a much better team will try against a weaker team.

I hate situational betting which pretty much all nba is. No point at all capping the shit with numbers cause you never get the same effort night to night.

He was referring to the rules. If you ever catch a Euroleague game you will realise right away what he is talking about. A lot more physicality on pick & rolls and no BS calls.

Teams play twice every 5 days, so no way they can give max effort on a regular basis... but if they did don't you think the odds would be even more accurate?

I feel like Jordan’s bulls dispelled that myth. They brought it pretty much nightly. Players today just pampered spoiled bitches.

I think he's speaking more generally. You typically want more volatility. More and better opportunities to make money than an ultra efficient market where lines barely move

That 72 win Bulls team lost to teams they had no business losing to -didn't they lose to Stoudamire's Raptors twice? I remember Jackson benching Jordan & Pippen in comeback wins because they just didn't have it. They won a lot of games because they were a historically good team, not because they were blue-collar.

[IBetYou]

The Warriors broke the record didn't they? They were not blue-collar either, just another super-team.

[Easy-Rider 66]

The playoffs are where rubber meets the road. Regular season by nature just an exhibition and a grind. Way too many games.

Home court advantage is important for teams this year because there is no clear favorite yet. Good teams are still playing hard for that in the regular season.. Middle of the road teams are still playing hard to make the playoffs. Shit teams are usually playing hard because the players don't want to be demoted to the D-League next year..

Yeah but good teams do not need HC. If it was so important load Management would not exist. Get your drift but regular season is bloated no doubt.

No , it is not only about rules . It is about efforts as well . Just saw another day of Euroleague , players play defense there . Every possesion matters . But they are also tired more quickly . Rarely you can see awesome social media post stats. And they are playing two games a week and game is shorter, just 40 mins . NBA schedule is too packed to play defense and lets be honest majority of games are completely meaningless

We had that discussion already lol. We're talking about what Doncic said... I remember it well, he was talking about the rules.

man , I am talking about comparision . just compare random game from tonight schedule to any euroleaue game . and focus on defense ok ? and then tell me your conclusions ok ?

[MrSink]

focus on the clip which I posted. This is the main factor in ofense for la , lebron james all scoring possesions . this should be main defense treat , so they are focusing to stop him at all cost and then see what the fck these guys are doing ok . and stop posting about imaginary defensive efforts ok

[IBetYou]

My contention is defense is illegal in the NBA. Lot of labour, not fruit. A.Bradley once had immense value for his defensive ability, but now he's getting lit up by almost anyone. Consider other great defenders in the game today... what chance do they have?

Teams no longer aim to shut each other down, they merely determine what they're going to give up.

ok , so why defense in playoffs would be better ? man it is all about efforts. of course rules are more strict but it is not deciding factor why games looks like that

The rules change in the Playoffs, that's why the defense is better. This is actually true of basketball across all leagues & competitions in my experience. Refs swallow their whistles on calls they'd normally make, similar to how they do in crunch time of regular season games. When the games don't matter so much they want to teach what constitutes a foul and when the moments are big they want the players to decide it.

[IBetYou]

P.Beverley is probably the most successful defensive guard in the game today, and ironically he does it with flopping; exposing the flaws in the rule book the same way the offensive guards do.

of course there slight difference in playoffs but overall picture is changed because of efforts. please watch the clip .who is playing defense there ?

[IBetYou]

Refs are letting the Thunder defend in this game vs the Rockets. Sellout crowd, tv game, home coming game... nothing more satisfying in the NBA than watching Harden try to con his way into foul shots and in the process turning it over.
