NBA Betting: Vol. 2

What on earth is going to happen with Rose tonight? I haven't been able to find any decent info anywhere, so I guess we’re just stuck with this "game time decision" nonsense or whatever they're calling it these days 😁

If he doesn't suit up, I honestly think the Boston Celtics will pull it off, even though they've dropped two in a row lately... but for tonight, they really ought to be well-rested and ready to go..

I don't see why anyone thinks the Boston Celtics get an edge just because Rose is out. The Chicago Bulls are playing lights out even without him. Honestly, Luol Deng is more vital to the Bulls than Rose is right now since there's no one to step in for Deng, whereas Watson can easily cover about 50% of what Rose brings to the table. Plus, someone already pointed out that the Chicago Bulls offense looks incredibly smooth even when Rose isn't on the floor.

The Chicago Bulls are taking this one—even with the handicap!

fadedcyclist4 said:The last 15 messy games have all gone over. Both teams took it easy on the rotation yesterday, so they should be coming in fresh... based on everything I'm seeing, this looks like an over. I’m eyeing the Los Angeles Lakers landing around 95, while the Toronto Raptors should easily clear 80. Honestly, I think the line is set at least 5 buckets too low.

And here's another thought—imagine hitting 53 points in just the first quarter.

Deng is actually more vital to Chicago than Rose is because there simply isn't anyone to step in for Deng, whereas Watson can pretty much carry about 50% of what Rose brings to the table. Besides, someone else already pointed out that Chicago's offense looks incredibly fluid even when Rose is sidelined.

When they face teams like the Hornets, the Bobcats, or the Bulls, they could practically get by with just four players if they absolutely had to.

It's a completely different story when you're up against the heavy hitters; that's when you really start feeling the void left by Rose.

There's still no word on whether he'll suit up tonight or not.

Boston (+8.5) vs. Chicago: Moneyline 1 at 1.30
Detroit vs. Washington, D.C.: Moneyline 1 at 1.45
Al Jefferson -18.5 (Under) at 1.85

Odds sitting at 3.48

Let's go Luol Deng 😬

Arthur Hill2 said:Come on, Luol Deng 😬

Where on earth are you getting that from? He's definitely not playing today.

I might have misread the odds just a little bit. 😁

Fair enough. The guy filing reports is heading out to get some physical therapy before the game even starts. Plus, the coach already announced that Rose is out, and Rose himself confirmed it, adding that he’s seeing a back specialist tomorrow.

Arthur Hill2 said:Right, because clearly, the guy reporting this is heading straight to a chiropractor before tip-off, and the coach just confirmed that Rose is out—Rose himself even chimed in to say he’s seeing a back specialist tomorrow.

Alright, so I guess that means the odds are shifting in favor of Boston.

They say it’s better to be born without luck than to be born without talent, but honestly, what does that even matter when everything feels this rigged?🙂,Gasol back at it under the rim again🤷,just absolutely pathetic, man. Honestly, I think it’s time I just walk away from the betting apps for a while because this whole thing has gone completely off the rails😠

What’s the line on Deng right now?? Do you guys think he can hit the over?

Deng has only put up one bucket so far!

casualviper86 said:How many points is Deng looking at?? You guys think he hits the over?

Man, with the way they’re playing right now, I’ll be lucky if he even clears 5 points🤷,like, if you bet the under, suddenly they go over, and if you take the over, they always fall short by just one shot, it's driving me crazy, I might actually have to go see a psychic at a roadside carnival just to make sense of this madness🙂 😍

Come on, Allen, you've got this!

EDIT:
Allen 3pt Shot: Missed 🙂

ruggedcyclist7 said:Come on, Allen, you can do this!

EDIT:
Allen missed that three. Typical. 🙂

Five shots should be more than enough to hit the over, but apparently, even that’s too much to ask. At this rate, let Johnson and Rondo just keep chucking them from everywhere. This whole thing is a joke.

I need a foolproof way to dig myself out of this hole—seriously, help me out, experts. Please. 😬

stormyseal9 said:With the way they're playing right now, I suppose I'll be happy if they just manage to sink five three-pointers🤷. If you bet on the under, it feels like they always go over, and when you play the over, they usually end up missing one🙂. I might have to go see a psychic at a roadside clinic in Vegas😍

Call him right now so you can make it to Miami by 1 o'clock 😂

Man... I'm screwed on this NBA bet. My parlay is totally dead now. Just waiting on Detroit to pull through so I can actually make some cash. They're up 61:59 and now they're trailing 63:74. Grrrr. And now—forget it—it's 63:81. They're down 2:22. What am I even doing...

Watching Detroit right now is an absolute disaster. Honestly, I’ve been making it a point to catch one game every single night since the season kicked off, and I can't help but wonder if it's just me or if anyone else has noticed this massive dip in overall NBA quality. It feels like we aren't even watching basketball anymore... there are nights where I'll be watching a game—I might not even know who's on the floor, to be honest—and for some reason, maybe four minutes pass without a single basket being made. It's just baffling. We're talking about elite athletes here, guys pulling in $10 million a year, yet they struggle to find the rim like that.🙂 Ugh, and now this Detroit squad is driving me absolutely crazy.
