Hard to handicap it if you don't watch the games and know the teams

Offense slams into the defender or trips over his own feet, and get rewarded with ft's.
Unwatchable and most bets are determined by meaningless ft's.
Always some shenanigans close to the end of each quarter to screw bettors.

Memphis and Celtics running through everyone right now

Thrilla · 01-19-23, 06:30 AM

Jason Statham and Jah Rule

I've watched about an hour this season. I'm doing okay.

Booya711 · 01-19-23, 08:52 AM

the only game I watched was when Dallas played the Knicks. The only reason i watched it was because i was in a suite at the arena

He said it's hard. He's not wrong. Hard to cap the games period. You're making it harder if you don't ever watch it. I'm a shade over 55% over 10 years. 57% in recent years. Maybe if you're up at 65% you can say it's easy lol

You have to cap motivation, spots and players not suiting up. Thats about it.

How do you know if a team is motivated

JayLA · 01-19-23, 02:40 PM

Basketball is not exciting to me. If you compare it to hockey, American football and regular football, and even penetrating tennis....there's more action, more defense, more technical skill.

I'll bet it and watch heat games. I also like players who dominate. Watching LeBron when he was in Miami was a pleasure. Other than that, I'll just check scores.

This.

Pay attention especially to teams playing back to backs.

Spots. Lines etc. Boston will be motivated tonight. You should know that.

They're well rested too. can't wait for that game.

That's very true but with the NBA today that's an every day thing and makes it a very difficult sport for me to beat. I do much better in NFL than I do NBA and part of it is because key players "rest" every day in NBA because its such a long season.

JayLA · 01-19-23, 03:43 PM

Do you guys really handicap how long a certain player will play?

Agreed NFL is much BETTER for me as well. NBA is a tough circuit. You can win but you need discipline. We aren't like the players we want to play everyday lol . Why don't NHL guys rest though the season is the same length exactly.

All the totals are going over 220, shocked to see suns vs nets total around 220 today.

Can't see this Boston total 240 going over though.
That's a ridiculous number.

Having said that watch it go 260.

slayer14 · 01-19-23, 06:53 PM

Yeah 240.5 is really a high number which means the books no something

Playoffs more for sure. I saw the last few minutes and ot. Sloppy basketball. Poor execution but I guess that's the current NBA. Guys running around like chickens with heads cut off.

Nate rasta · 01-19-23, 10:29 PM

You guys wanted defense, you got defense in this game

Brooklyn can’t even win a game without Durant

This is what 3rd game without? Makes sense that they are due because of adjustments. Oh no wait it's rigged NBA

They were on fire before he took his annual mid winter break.

Katsumoto · 01-19-23, 11:18 PM

Did you see Boston with turnover after turnover to make sure they don't cover.
Smart tried to throw the ball into the stands but Jaylen made a miracle save.
I think they had it scripted for double OT.

budwiser · 01-19-23, 11:53 PM

Sean marks nets gm at the game says he's listening to any and all offers. Expect moves

It's clear without durant the team suks
