ECSF: Nets vs Bucks Discussion

Yea i have a tough time seeing him being his old self with a hammy those dont just heal over night and if he is how was he ruled out... Nets have no PG and he is very much needed. I wonder if he will be used more with 2nd unit If anything just someone else for the bucks to worry bout on D take some pressure off the shamet n joe harris try n get em some looks..... but have to think if he’s hampered which everyone expects i would think hes out their to steal some minutes when durant rests

It's gamesmanship, it's doing everything within your power without spying to gain an advantage

I sure hope gambling doesn't make head games illegal in sport, that's half the game

Yea but the information is released for the betting line. Cmon

Again, if gaming overtakes the actual sport when it comes to policy, the whole thing is ruined

Complete transparency with injuries is all I'd like given they want to walk hand in hand with the sportsbooks.

Call Jim a GTD yesterday and we don't have a problem.

Call him out and have dudes dump bands on the Mucks or vice versa ain't cool or fair, tbh.

The League already fucks us gamblers over enough with the officiating etc.

It's not a big ask to be upfront and honest about who's playing and who is not.

Desperate, shady move.
 
I can't parlay with tomorrow's game but would do Nets +1 with Clips +3 and Clips ML, also with Sixers ML
 
You don't run a pro-athlete out there on a bum hammy unless it's 99% healed.

It's a bad business move for the athlete and the franchise.

Either they were just resting Fat Jim because tbh, they don't really need him to advance past the Mucks if Flat Earth is healthy and the whole hammy thing was bullshit.

Or, they're taking a massive risk with dude's career and their potential future with said dude. They only need to ask the fella with the locker next to Jim about that.

I got the Mucks at -160 and thought I was getting a steal based on the news, they are at -112 now.

You don't make money in this business playing bad lines.

Fuck the Nets.

Stinks, man.
 
I honestly figured they were resting Beard since they really didn't need him to win this series


Fast fwd to the weird game 3 , then to Kylie injury...

I hope that is the case...
 
Now the bigger question is how soon into the contest does PJ pick up his 3rd foul ?

Nets in a 22-5 SU spot as the 'better' team and they are with 2 of the 'Mercurial 3' playing.

Agree
 
Man, fuck the Nets and their shady ass injury reporting. Now I have someone to root against for the rest of the playoffs
 
Mucks beat themselves, they should have won regardless of Kevin Durant going thermonuclear.

Played incredibly dumb basketball the entire 2nd half.

A franchise altering loss x100.

So you’re gonna give yourself one chance to win one game, under the assumption you’ll be “fully” healthy for that game, rather than give yourself two chances to get it done? Pass. If anything do a better job of dividing up minutes, give them 2-3 min here and there structured around tv timeouts and game stoppages

If you can’t hold a 16 pt ht lead when you basically have to contain one guy, you do t deserve to win. Hell even with him going off if you are efficient enough on offense you don’t lose a 16 pt lead lol
 
In the history of best-of-7 NBA playoff games beginning in 1947, home teams down 16 points as late as after two quarters had a game record of only 1-12 (.077).

The Brooklyn Nets thus achieve a grade-A in-game comeback.

:rolleyes:
 
Mucks were 15-0 SU this season with a halftime lead of 15 or more.

Mucks were 9-0 SU all-time in the playoffs (all in the Janice era) with a halftime lead of 15 or more.

Until last night.

Ok. I guess I sort of get the line with Harden still limited and Kyrie out, but as much as I’d love it to happen, I have no faith in Milw in these spots
 
Nets are Jersey
Clippers are SD
Grizz are still where there are Grizz
Seattle is still one of the coolest NBA arenas and best fan bases in the League's history
