Do the Brooklyn Nets avoid the sweep vs the Celtics?

[Ian]

Robert Williams has rested for weeks

If by rest you mean had knee surgery, then yes. IMO he's far better off not having to play and rehabbing the knee properly, than being put in a game when he's still in the process of recuperating.

[Fischnasty]

gotta like celtics with the Big Three in this situation

Huh? He had surgery.

[pavyracer]

Celtics need the extra rest. They will unload on Nets tonight and send them packing.

Yea so what? Once surgery is over are you resting or are you playing games?

[Bostongambler]

You are easing back into it. And obviously the more time off the better for it to heal completely.

No.... once you're healed from surgery you're healed from surgery....

you want him out for 12 months since you know better?

[Snowball]

Going in neutral with a small Boston lean
will take them live if I see the evidence I want.

Not taking Brooklyn either way. Boston has them mastered.

The first quarter will tell you all you need to know. If the Nets are up double digits, they might win... Might. If it's close or Boston is leading. BLOWOUT CITY.

Once you’re healed , you’re healed???? What!!!!

His knee will continue to get better and stronger as time goes by and he’s able to rest it. You can’t be serious.

And thus comes one of the biggest questions that even the sharpest of +EV forecasters ask themselves.

When a player comes back like that, do we call him 100%? Do we seek limted minutes at 100%. Do we minimize the contribution? What's the relative weighting going to do?

Who has this information in their database? We know something is there, it can be hard to pinpoint.

For everyone else, consider it noise, lol.

Unless you identify, in your handicapping, a Red Flag.

I made a post about Red Flags somewhere around SBR.

lol

[Bcatswin]

Pass on this one

[Snowball]

kinda hoping Brooklyn looks strong with a solid 6-12 area lead... with lots of time left to buy Boston
then hope they bring it back and sell them back. something like that.

[KVB]

lol

I may have given you guys just enough to get killed, but I swear if there is enough warning in there to watch the EV and vig.

Be careful not to miss the point.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Durant picked up 2 early stupid fouls. Curry has 3. Not looking good for the Nets here.

[d2bets]

Crazy officiating against Brooklyn early. Very weird.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Refs are on Boston early. lol

[Mac4Lyfe]

Blow out city fellas. Bet accordingly.

[d2bets]

Refs are on Boston early. lol

Bigly. Who knows why, but ya can't miss it.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Boston is only -4.5 live

[d2bets]

Clangston lol.

[Mac4Lyfe]

My God. Claxton is 0 for 4 on free throws and 3 for 15 in the series. WTH does this kid do in his spare time? I'm thinking not shooting free throws.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Durant should have had his 3rd foul right there.

[Snowball]

good value on boston
might bite soon
waiting for now

[d2bets]

Claxton 0-6 FT

[Snowball]

give BKN a chance to take lead
never know

[Mac4Lyfe]

Clangston lol.

WTF? This guy cannot make a freaking free throw. Time to start hack a Claxton. Embarrassing. Drummond not much better.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Grant Williams giving Durant fits. This Boston defense is nuts.

[Snowball]

if it stays within 6 pts then there won't be much opps for live
without committing to a side. current -140/110

[d2bets]

They should sit Claxton. They have bodies.

[Snowball]

Boston is not as dominating tonight
line ready to flip here

[Mac4Lyfe]

Nets playing for their playoff lives. Tatum is saying, "I don't think so".

[Snowball]

yep Boston has that can o whoop ass

[Mac4Lyfe]

Durant is getting old before our very eyes. Turning the ball over repeatedly, missing bunnies, not boxing out or playing defense. This is the worst I've ever seen him play in his career.
