NBA Preseason Thoughts & Discussion

Lareux said:
What's so strange about this? It's a game with a point spread of 1, and it seems that most everyone who voted feels it will be a game that OKC won't win by more than 9 points. Am I missing something? Or do you just see it as strange that so many people feel that way? How many people voted would be the first question I think should be asked.

It's strange that the question is even being asked in the game. I've never seen it such a big discrepancy before. It's usually within 3-4 points of the actual line. Now since this is a preseason game it might not really matter. STFC is a good tool for me usually on Saturdays alone.

Its a good day to bet on the celtics. Theyre desperate for a win. And this one might be easy.

The nets bench is as good as the celtics starters lol. And the crowd and celtics might not be as up for this game now that the starters are resting. Pierce said weeks ago that he wouldn't make the trip to Boston today because he wants the regular season visit to be where he lets all of his emotions out.

circle... Paul pierce point prop over on January 26th

taking the nuggets -6.5

suns coming in off an impressive dd victory vs the thunder... and by impressive i mean not really... their stats were awful last night and now they travel to mile high

the nuggets are coming off two losses and had three days off

Nuggets coach Brian Shaw liked the effort. He wasn’t as pleased with the execution. About 10 hours after touching down in Denver, Shaw put his players through a lengthy film session Sunday following a 118-110 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Among the points of emphasis:
Leave the ball alone. The Nuggets were called for delay of game four times for touching the ball after a made basket. The final three resulted in technical free throws for the Clippers.
Defensive awareness. Denver also was whistled twice for defensive 3-seconds, resulting in two more L.A. foul shots.
Take care of the ball. The Nuggets committed 23 turnovers, leading to 21 points for the Clippers.
Convert free throws. Denver went 19-for-30 from the foul line
“I liked our effort, but we’re not good enough to make the mistakes that we made, especially against a team of that caliber,” Shaw said. “We have five guys that are (injured). Some guys are taking advantage of their opportunity and others aren’t.”
The Nuggets played without guard Nate Robinson (strained hamstring) and forwards Darrell Arthur (bruised quad), Wilson Chandler (strained hamstring) and Kenneth Faried (strained hamstring). Forward Danilo Gallinari remains out indefinitely while recovering from a knee injury.
Chandler went through full practices Thursday and Friday and could make his preseason debut at home Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns.
“I didn’t want to take any chances,” Shaw said. “We got him to this point. Now we don’t play again until Wednesday. He has a few days to build up strength in that muscle. I would like to see him try to get in a rhythm in the last two preseason games.”
Denver’s depth was on display in Las Vegas. Despite being short-handed, the Nuggets nearly beat a Clippers team that played four of its five starters more than 30 minutes each.
Among the standouts for Denver were reserves Evan Fournier (16 points, seven rebounds, six assists), Anthony Randolph (16 points) and Andre Miller (15 points, seven assists, six rebounds), Quincy Miller (11 points) and Timofey Mozgov (11 points, five rebounds).
Andre Miller played nearly 36 minutes, including 26 in the second half and overtime.
“One thing about Andre, he’s a gamer,” Shaw said. “He, better than anybody on our team, knows how to play. I feel confident when he’s out on the floor. He gives our team a settling effect.”
Miller, 37, is one of only eight players in NBA history with at least 15,000 points and 7,500 assists, but he is not taking anything for granted. Entering his 15th NBA season, he is treating training camp as if he were a rookie auditioning for the first time.
“I’m out there working,” he said. “I just approach practice with the same habits and approach it like I’m fighting for a spot to play.”
With two preseason games remaining before the Oct. 30 season-opener, Miller’s younger teammates would be wise to do the same.
“I basically told the guys, I was proud of our bench scoring 71 points and coming in ready to play,” Shaw said. “When (the injured) guys get back, it’s going to be less minutes to go around. They need to take advantage of it while they can.”
 
Didn't see the your post above, Nba.

Spread did open at 7 or thereabouts and then took a dive, dude working the ESPN site must be asleep or something as I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled.

That being said I'd never put money on preseason NBA, ever...
 
Derrick Rose is +1200 to win MVP? I'm not a futures player, but I might have to bite on that...
 
I like how almost every NBA scoreboard is frozen in time tonight. Kind of takes the fun out of it...
 
That was a disgusting 4th q. Think I'll sit the next few days out. Haven't been able to research this preseason.

It was +1200 the other night @ 5Dimes. Someone must have hammered the line after I posted...

:snorting:
 
Forget i said anything about the Suns over under. Losing Gortat before the season starts----not good.
 
Gortat is a beast. Should help out the wiz a lot.

The suns are making good moves though.


The nets will easily win the atlantic.
 
suns have 4 first rounders next year, very impressive where this new GM is going

never been a big draft day guy but excited for next year's, should be a franchise overhaul
 
Just put in a few NBA future bets for the season.

Warriors over 50.5
Pacers Under 54.5
Wizards Over 38.5
Bucks Under 28.5

Rockets to win West +500
Golden State to win West +980
