    Looking For Insight On The Indiana/Brooklyn Game



    Indiana only laying only 3 at home to arguably the worst team in the league......?

    Likewise with the Spurs only laying 1.5 to Minny at home?

    Looking for some insight. TIA

    No Parker or Kawhi for Spurs, I think there may also be others out.

    Indiana sucks now, pretty much sold away George and are rebuilding.

    Pacers are terrible. win total very similar to the nets.

    Nets are rising with some nice additions while the pacers blew up the team in trading george and teague.

    Okay, thanks. Will fade the Spurs. But last year the Pacers won 42 while the Nets won 20. Don't think the addition of D'angelo Russell to Brooklyn will close a 22 game gap. I'll play the PACERS.

    Rosters are completely different. Russell was 1 addition. Oladipo was 1 addition. Last year's wins mean nothing. 76ers were the worst team in the NBA last year and this year they're arguably the 5th best team in the East...

    Gonna try the PISTONS tonight too, laying a short 3 points, as they open up a brand new arena.

    INDIANA -3
    DETROIT -3
    MINNY +1-

    Completely ignored the posts about the Pacers being terrible too.

    On the Nets...game is a toss up to me.

    Goat, you might be right. But I'll continue fading Brooklyn until further notice.

    Yeah, no clue about tonight's game. Just saying in general. Throw last year out the window. The NBA is different than most other sports because of such a vast player turnover yearly.

    Seems you dismissing how much worse pacers are now? Plus if ya believe oddmakers season win totals nets much improved. No interest for me tho so gl.

    No point in fading the spurs in season opener. Wolves won't win

    Im under 217 small. Dont see how that total will go over with george teague and ellis gone. But maybe defense crap. Usually first few weeks go small unless you really have a direct hit. Which with the pacers kind of hard to do.

    This could be a close one but I agree with coach. Key to victory is good teamwork and rebounding as it smoothes transition from def to offense.

    I think the value is on the total, Lin and Russell play no defense, should up tempo

    Pacers tried to pull ahead several times but Nets kept their cool and fought back. 60-60 just before half.
