@exclusive- GL with your bet.

@Fullofstool - Don't worry about that! That has nothing to do with the way that ball with fall through the hoop.

and theres no comparison watsoever between this team and the one that wilted like an ice-cream in the sun to a far tougher bulls team in game 7 last year...in terms of personnel it is night and day and to draw a line thru the 2 in terms of this nets team choking and folding is way off base i feel.......maybe this particular team does crack,who knows??but we definitely have no supporting evidence to suggest so as of now.

ive bet every single one of your plays that ive seen posted except one and im kinda torn on this...i acknowledge fully that you are 1000% better at this than i,but my gut says nets plus points or nothing...thinking on it some more,shall decide later on.

regardless,as always,much,much appreciation for you taking the time to share with us buddy

......and i am rooting for you hard of course so long as i havent bet yet

Don't worry about the vets. KG hasn't played 21 of his past 25 games and when he does, I want Plumlee on the court.

And go look at PP in his last 10 games leading into this one. Nothing to be afraid of there. No dominant performances in any way.

Yes, I know the Nets did not give all of their effort all of those game (the last one completely thrown), but when you have aged veterans on the court, I'd be hard pressed to just see them turn it on all the way against a young hungry team like the Raps in Toronto who will keep the pressure on them, all given the Nets haven't played a meaningful game since the Heat game, which seems like eons ago.

And it will be close, yes, but I got it at 2 which is a ML so the points don't matter much if at all there. +3 for the post is my ceiling.
