NBA SEASON TOTALS THREAD

[THE HITMAN]

Anyone with any input ?

I just looked at the numbers for the first time tonite, so I don't have any input yet. At the end of last season, I made a note to check the Dallas under...........but I was hoping for a figure closer to 50, not the 46. Detroit would be an over play (50 ish) if it not were for the rookie coach.

OK.......you're up next.

The two that jumped off the page for me are Knicks over 31.5 and Warriors under 37.5.

Warriors lost their star power and are in a tough western conference. Could be a very long year in GS.

With Di'antoni running the show in NY, they should improve, and frankly I think his style leads to regular season wins. For a visiting team coming in for one night, it's hard to match up and run with the same intensity. I saw the Suns get a few freebie wins this way, and the same could happen for the Knicks. Don't get me wrong, this team is still going to be bad, but getting 32 wins isn't asking for much.

Best of luck.

Be nice if you posted the number of wins or losses in this thread so we could make our opinion known.

The one that jumps out at me is Milwaukee on the over side of 30 or 31, whatever is available. I don't see much depth there, but I like their starting 5. If they can stay healthy, I think this number is low and ripe for a cover.

I concur on the Knicks

What do you think of these? I like to look at teams that are usually strong every year and see if there is any value on the over. More juice on all of these but may be worth it.


Dallas over 46' - Finished with 51 or more wins over the last 7 years. The 51 was last season. Usually a very good regular season team

Denver over 42' - Coming off a 50 win season with at least 43 in the last 5 years. If they don't get more than this they won't be a playoff team in the West. The question is who's going to overtake them.

Detroit over 50' - Not in love with this one, but they have had 50 or better wins the last 7 years.

Phoenix over 46' - Had over 54 wins the last 4 seasons with 55 last year.

San Antonio over 48' - Over 56 the last 7 years.

Boston over 53' - After winning 66 last season it is very tempting which probably means lay off.


Any insight would be appreciated.

If they can stay healthy, I think this number is low and ripe for a cover.

I also like there starting line up, but I would have a hard time betting on that team. If you like it go for it, I do believe they are easily capable of getting 31, but at the same time they scare me. They just need to improve a little from last year.

I may go for some PNX & DET myself. Funny, just the opposite............kids in DET & the aged in PNX. If Phoenix was 2 games higher, like 48/48.5, I probably wouldn't do it. Geezus, Shaq looked next to useless to me at the end of the season. I'll hope the rookie coach in DET can come out of the gate good.........certainly a lot of talent to coach there.

Denver is the scary one for me. I had them last season with a nice cover, but who in Alice in Wonderland is going to play any defense for them. He was like their only precence in that department. I don't believe they let him go

Phillydelphia 76ers Over for sure.They finished on a tear last year and got better over the offseason.They win 52 or more,but all we need is 49.# is high but for good reason,this will be a contender this year.Philly sports are on the rise.

.Philly sports are on the rise.

The wrong sports

 

[THE ONLY ONE]

Boston over 53?
Chicago under 40?
Milwaukee over 30?
Denver over 41?
New York over 31?
Toronto under 47?

 

[THE HITMAN]

Pretty much agree, but went he other way on Denver. Likee Milwaukee O & Toronto U the best.
The MIlwaukee O is my favorite on the board............I know it's a possible mush on my part, here, but if their starting 5 stays anywhere near healthy, the 30.5 should be coming in early.
