    Unders are great every Monday night.  Not necessarily the case with the other days of the week.  If you start betting every game under for the rest of the week, you'll likely juice yourself to death.

    I bet every game under in the 2nd half tonight and went 5-2, BUT I got fucked bigtime because my two biggest bets were on Dallas/Utah under 96.5 and Sacramento/Denver under 103.  I lost the first bet by half a point on the final shot of the game, and then the Kings and Nuggets went into overtime under by 19 points. 

     

    For all his supposed veteran savvy, Chauncey Billups is just another hoopster moron.  With the game against the Kings tied at 99, he took the inbounds pass underneath his own basket with 27 seconds left, brought the ball up the court, and proceeded to pound the ball into the floor until the shot clock was at two seconds, whereupon he chucked a heavily-contested three that bricked, of course.  What kind of shot did this imbecile think he was going to get after letting the shot clock run down to almost nothing?  When the shot clock is down to three seconds or less, the opposition knows that you've left yourself with no time to do anything other than shoot the ball yourself, so naturally they swarm you.  Steve Nash made this same mindless mistake at the end of regulation yesterday in Houston, and that fucked me out of another 2nd half under that went into OT winning by 16 points. 

    Every idiotic NBA team uses this same completely ineffective strategy.  They hold onto the ball as long as they can in order to deny the other team a possession, but in the process they deny themselves any chance at a quality look at the basket.  So fucking dumb......

    i can say that the pros do a way better job than college teams do in this situation. but what else can they do? u gotta eat up every single second cuz if it goes in then the other team calls timeout to advance it. we know what d fish can do with 0.4 sec left

    Unders are great every Monday night.  Not necessarily the case with the other days of the week.  If you start betting every game under for the rest of the week, you'll likely juice yourself to death.

    I bet every game under in the 2nd half tonight and went 5-2, BUT I got fucked bigtime because my two biggest bets were on Dallas/Utah under 96.5 and Sacramento/Denver under 103.  I lost the first bet by half a point on the final shot of the game, and then the Kings and Nuggets went into overtime under by 19 points. 

     

    For all his supposed veteran savvy, Chauncey Billups is just another hoopster moron.  With the game against the Kings tied at 99, he took the inbounds pass underneath his own basket with 27 seconds left, brought the ball up the court, and proceeded to pound the ball into the floor until the shot clock was at two seconds, whereupon he chucked a heavily-contested three that bricked, of course.  What kind of shot did this imbecile think he was going to get after letting the shot clock run down to almost nothing?  When the shot clock is down to three seconds or less, the opposition knows that you've left yourself with no time to do anything other than shoot the ball yourself, so naturally they swarm you.  Steve Nash made this same mindless mistake at the end of regulation yesterday in Houston, and that fucked me out of another 2nd half under that went into OT winning by 16 points. 

    Every idiotic NBA team uses this same completely ineffective strategy.  They hold onto the ball as long as they can in order to deny the other team a possession, but in the process they deny themselves any chance at a quality look at the basket.  So fucking dumb......



    I've seen this way too many times where the player dribbles the ball to 2 seconds just to heave a 30 footer. I understand the strategy behind taking the last shot of course but I never understand why the coach wouldn't tell the player to take the ball to the fucking hoop in that situation with the game tied. Force the zebras to make a call because when you're at home and any type of contact will lead to a foul in that situation.

    Good post. And while it normally feels great to be on the same side as you, I too suffered the last couple of nights through the same miserable beats you've hilighted.

    Much like NFL teams, the issue of clock management appears low on the list of priorities among NBA teams/coaching staffs. The odds of victory become so much less favorable when a team elects to shoot the ball as the shot or game clock expires(ala Steve Nash last night) in a tight game as opposed to working some ball movement and creating the best shot available. This situation seems to arise enough throughout a season that if teams emphasized, strategized, and practiced the execution of getting the best shot during these adverse conditions, they'd increase their chances of getting the winner.

    Of course, the only reason I give a shit about the matter is because I'm tired of getting hosed on my under bets.

    That strategy is flawed. The better strategy imo: take the best shot you can create regardless of the remaining time. If that shot converts, play some fucking defense.

    i know just making an example. only in tie games should teams hold the ball to the very end b4 a shot. funny though cuz i see a lot of teams who are down 2 and hold the ball for a 3 pointer instead of driving or getting an easiers shot. this is something i dont understand. it even worst when i need ot for an over lol.

    Au contraire professor.  Every NBA team does not use this strategy.  More often than not I see Kobe taking one of his much practiced, heavily patented fadeaways from 16-18 ft out.  Ok that might be the exception, agreed.  But in the game last night, the LAST thing you want to do is give this SAC team any time on the clock.  Denver knows they are better than SAC, Denver's conditioning in OT, home crowd, etc all plays into that.  In order for you not to be biased, imagine you had Denver ML.  Would you rather each team get 1 possession with 30 seconds left or would you rather have the game go into OT?

    Generally speaking, however I do agree with you.  Whether its college or NBA 95% of the time you see a shot that could quite possibly be the lowest quality shot the entire game at precisely the time where the team should be strategizing to get off the highest quality shot.  Odd, no?

    It's sad that when you come to Covers to read insightful, informative opinions, you run into the most idiotic statements that are so unimaginative that you wonder if these people ever step out of the rat holes and deal with real people in the real world or if they live in the mountains, where supplies come once a month??!!
